aoc-softlayer

A simple nodeJS wrapper module to invoke Softlayer APIs. Read the motivation behind this library

Installation

npm install --save aoc-softlayer

Usage

Create a reference to aoc-softlayer as follows:

var sl = require('aoc-softlayer');
var client = new sl();

Example:

var sl = require('aoc-softlayer');
var client = new sl();

client.auth("user1", "key12345");
client.resultLimit(0, 500);

client.account().path('getAllTopLevelBillingItems').get(function (err, result) {
    console.log("Bills: " + JSON.stringify(err) + ": " + JSON.stringify(result));
});

Ensure you have enabled API keys for your IBM Softlayer account and the keys are passed via auth method.

Refer to (ObjectFilters)https://sldn.softlayer.com/article/object-filters and (SoftLayer Services)http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/ which are essential concepts to build your application using softlayer APIs.
