Messageapi-im NPM

MessageAPI.im

The MessageAPI Node library provides convenient access to the MessageAPI API from applications written in server-side JavaScript.

Please keep in mind that this package is for use with server-side Node that uses MessageAPI App secret keys. To get your MessageAPI App secret you need to Sign up

Documentation

See the Node API docs.

Installation

Install the package with:

npm install messageapi-im --save

Usage

The package needs to be configured with your account's secret key which you will get after Sign up. Require it with the key's value:

var messageApiIm = require('messageapi-im')('[YOUR_APP_SECRET]');

Quick Start:

After sign up you need to complete these 3 steps to start sending messages

Connect one or more of your messaging channels via the Create integration setup
Create a webhook and get messages back from your customer, on top, via the webhook you will get message events like : delivered, seen , etc. To note you can skip this step and get the messages via get message
Create a customer and add his user id in the relevant messaging channel

We have created this example using the Viber channel, to learn how to connect other channels, see the Node API docs.
