🐵🚿 survey-monkey-streams

Stream the Survey Monkey API

Why?

• Paging: We abstract away page handling, allowing you to consume data from beginning to end
• Backpressure: We won't read faster than you can process the data, keeping memory requirements low

Installation

  npm i survey-monkey-streams

Usage

  import { Reader } from 'survey-monkey-streams';
  const reader = new Reader({
    url: `collectors/${id}/responses`,
    headers: { authorization: `bearer ${token}` }
  })
  reader.on('data', response => {
    console.log(response)
  })

  import { SurveysResponsesBulkReader } from 'survey-monkey-streams';
  const reader = new SurveysResponsesBulkReader({
    headers: { authorization: `bearer ${token}` }
  })
  reader.pipe(myDbWriter)

Design Decisions

KISS

Rather than define a new API, this module chooses to expose the APIs of the underlying technologies, i.e. request and the Node.js Stream API. Common use cases are more verbose than they might otherwise be, but minimal tampering means less bugs, documentation and frustration.

I wrote this to fix a problem I was facing, so it might need stretching to meet your needs. Notably, there is no Writable yet.

Pull requests welcome, but please get in touch first. I don't want to waste your time 😁
