rollbar-api v1.0.4

Rollbar Web API for Node

A node.js wrapper for the Rollbar Web API. Rollbar already provides an SDK for node.js applications, so if you're looking to track errors and crashes, you should check that out first. Although there are plans to implement the Rollbar notifier functionalities in this project, they are not currently included.

What this package does, however, is provide you with a way to access an manipulate Rollbar account information. For example, if you want a way to programmatically look up or create new Rollbar projects and grab the relevent access tokens, this module is for you.

Invites

  • Get activated counts

Teams

Installation

$ npm install --save

Usage

As of now, only account-level functions are included (i.e., any function requiring a project-level access token would not work under the current configuration).

Therefore, the tokens you should pass upon instantiation are the read and write tokens found in your Rollbar account settings.

var Rollbar = require('rollbar-api');
var rollbar = new Rollbar({
  read: '<account_read_token>',
  write: '<account_write_token>'
});

Then, you can use methods to interact directly with Rollbar API

// get a list of projects
rollbar.listProjects(function (err, res) {
  if (err) {
    return console.log(err.message);
  }
  console.log("Array of projects", res.body);
});

Interacting with Responses

Errors

Callbacks will receive an error object if: 1. Either the http request itself was unsuccessful 1. Or the response from Rollbar was an error (http status code of >200)

Examples of the latter include attempting to make API calls with the incorrect token or trying to access information that does not exist (e.g., calling getUser() on a nonexistent user ID).

Rollbar API-type error objects have the following properties:

{
  name: "RollbarAPIError",
  message: "<message from Rollbar API>",
  statusCode: "<numeric http status code from Rollbar API>",
  statusMessage: "<http status message corresponding to statusCode>"
}

where statusCode can be any of 400, 403, 404, 413, 422, or 429. See this page for more information.

Responses

If the http request was successful and the Rollbar API processes the request, a response will be returned. All responses have the following properties:

{
  statusCode: 200,
  headers: {
    // http headers
  },
  body: {
    // json-encoded reply from the API
  }
}

where headers are from an http.incomingMessage instance.

Methods

Debugging

You can start your application with a debug environment variable to view the raw http requests (being sent through the awesome request package) like this:

NODE_DEBUG=request node app.js

Tests

You can run unit tests with mocha.
