forecast-api

Node Forecast API

A Forecast (https://forecastapp.com) API wrapper for Node.js.

Installation

Via npm:

$ npm install forecast-api

Getting started

You will need a Forecast account, accountId and authorization token.

The easiest way to determine your accountId and authorization token is by logging in to Forecast from Google Chrome and using the web inspector > Network tab to see one of the request(s) being made.

Observe a request and note the accoundId and authorization from the request header.

Usage

var Forecast = require('forecast-api');
var forecast = new Forecast({
    accountId: '12345',
    authorization: 'Bearer 9876.-EXAMPLETOKEN'
});

People

forecast.people(function(err, people) {
    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }
    console.log(people);
});

forecast.clients(function(err, clients) {
    if (err) {
        throw err;

    console.log(clients);
});

    if (err) {
        throw err;

Assignments

Assignments supports the following options (see below for more details):
