mergent v1.7.0

Mergent JavaScript Library

The Mergent JavaScript library provides convenient access to the Mergent API from applications written in the JavaScript language.

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install mergent --save
# or
yarn add mergent

Usage

The library needs to be configured with your project's API key. Set Mergent.api_key to its value:

const Mergent = require("mergent");

// set the Mergent API key
const mergent = new Mergent("...");

// create a Task that will make an HTTP request in 5 minutes
mergent.tasks
  .create({
    request: { url: "...", body: "Hello, world!" },
    delay: { minutes: 5 },
  })
  .then((task) => console.log(task))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error));

// create a recurring Schedule that will make an HTTP request every minute
mergent.schedules
  .create({
    request: { url: "...", body: "Hello, world!" },
    cron: "* * * * *",
  })
  .then((task) => console.log(task))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error));

Usage with TypeScript

import Mergent from "mergent";

// set the Mergent API key
const mergent = new Mergent("...");

// create a Task that will make an HTTP request in 5 minutes
mergent.tasks
  .create({
    request: { url: "...", body: "Hello, world!" },
    delay: { minutes: 5 },
  })
  .then((task) => console.log(task))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error));

// create a recurring Schedule that will make an HTTP request every minute
mergent.schedules
  .create({
    request: { url: "...", body: "Hello, world!" },
    cron: "* * * * *",
  })
  .then((task) => console.log(task))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error));
