fullcontact-api

FullContact NodeJS Library

This is a NodeJS helper for the FullContact API - http://www.fullcontact.com/

Much of this readme is taken from the FullContact PHP API - https://github.com/fullcontact/fullcontact-api-php

Requirements

This assumes you have nodejs installed and setup properly. It is not yet in npm but will be at a later point in time, when it is more stable.

Usage

The test suites provide demonstrations of every single type of request call available. The first step is to include fullcontact by requiring it. However, the key must be passed as a parameter:

var fullcontact = require("fullcontact-api")("Your Key here");

You can setup the key file a few ways, see the test suite for an example of using a key config file, or just hardcode it in.

Next, you can execute an endpoint api as follows:

fullcontact.person.findByEmail("email", function(err, json) {
    //json now contains your information unless err
});

A full list of the available API will be prepared shortly.

Testing

Nodeunit is used for testing. There is a runtests script which will execute any *.test.js file outside of node_modules. You must setup the key for testing by placing your key in the key.config.js file and then renaming it to key.js
