thriftbooks-api v0.0.3

Thriftbooks API

This API is a wrapper around thriftbooks.com that allows developers to programmatically read and update thriftbooks.com account infromation, place orders, and browse the avai- lable selection of books.

Quickstart

Explanation: Create two lists to build your interaction with thriftbooks. The first list is a function list, the second list is http request objects. Then pass these two lists to the runChains( ... ) function. The results will be saved to file.

	var thriftbooks = require("../thriftbooksapi.js");
	
	var thriftbooks = require("../thriftbooksapi.js");
	var thriftbooksObject = new thriftbooks();
	/*
		Lists of thriftbooks functions and their corresponding
		requests that will be executed.
	*/
	var functionChain = new Array();
	var requestChain = new Array();
		
	// Set your username and password for thriftbooks.
	thriftbooksObject.setAccount( "user@example.com", "password" );
		
	// Create corresponding function and request chains. 
	functionChain.push(thriftbooksObject.accountInfo);
	requestChain.push(thriftbooksObject.accountInfoRequest);
		
	thriftbooksObject.runChains(functionChain, requestChain);

Functions

string - pass - The password for the thriftbooks acccount.

accountInfo

Object - cookieJar - A JSON object that contains the cookies being used in requests.

Object - requestData - A JSON object that contains the requestData specific to our callback function.

Array - callbackFuncs - An Array of functions that will be called, in order. This is a function chain.
