bing-pulse

Installation

With npm do:

npm install bing-pulse

Example

  var pulse = require('bing-pulse').create();

  pulse.init({
    pulseApiKey: '',
    customerApiKey: ''
  });

  pulse.on('questions', function questions(data) {});

  pulse.on('pulses', function pulses(data) {});

  pulse.on('annotations', function annotations(data) {});

  pulse.on('error', function error(err) {});

Methods

Require and create new pulse.

  var pulse = require('bing-pulse').create();

pulse.init(opts)

Initialize pulse by passing your bing pulse and customer API keys.

  var opts = {
    pulseApiKey: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
    customerApiKey: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' //optional
  };

  pulse.init(opts);

Available options:

opts.pulseApiKey your bing pulse API key
opts.customerApiKey your bing customer API key (optional)
opts.interval how often to check the pulse in seconds (optional)
opts.inactive set to neutral to default graph point to 0 or previous to default graph point to previous one if users inactive (optional)

By default bing pulse API returns only graph points if users actually voted. Assuming you're plotting in 5s intervals you'd expect to get 6 graph points in 30s. If no users voted you'll get 0 graph points. Use opts.inactive to plot the points or omit to get the default bing pulse API behaviour.

pulse.endpoints(cb)

Get an array of available API endpoints you can listen on.

  pulse.endpoints(function endpoints(data) {});
