LiveChat API

Installation

Module available through NPM and can be installed with command npm install livechatapi

Quick start

Module designed to completely repeat official API without needs to think about authentication.

var LiveChatApi = require('livechatapi').LiveChatApi;
var api = new LiveChatApi('username@domain.com', 'APIKEY')
api.status.get({ group: 0 }, function(data){
  console.log(data);
});

If you need to call function with default parameters you can call it without parameters. Above function could be simplified to

api.status.get(function(data){
  console.log(data);
});

If you don't need function results you can skip callback function definition. For example new agent creation can be done with this code

api.agents.create({ login: 'philip.j.fry@planetexpress.com', name: 'Philip J. Fry' })

API Methods List

Full description of methods parameters available at LiveChat RESTful API Documentation page.

Library has API V1 support but as this version is deprecated it's not described in list. Most part of functions calls are similar to V2. For example, list of operators could be asked with simple api.operators.list() call.
