Shippy API Client

Makes it dead simple to build web apps on the Shippy API.

• All API functionality becomes a function call.
• Couldn't be any simpler

Just include the script in your HTML

<script src="shippy.js"></script>

Then write some JS

// init an instance of the API connection
var api = new Shippy();
 
// then log in
api.validateToken('your access token', function (err, yourUser) {
    window.me = yourUser;
});
 
// 'ready' is triggered when you're successfully logged in
api.on('ready', function () {
    // once 'ready' has been triggered 
    // all your normal API functions are available
    // as function calls.
 
    // for example, we can just fetch our teams
    // and pass it a callback.
    api.getTeams(function (err, myTeams) {
        window.teams = myTeams;
    });
});

It uses socket.io under the covers so you get realtime, seemless API access that's as easy as AJAX.

Have fun!
