Turntable API

Join us on Discord https://discord.gg/4AA2DqWpVc

A simple nodejs wrapper for the turntable API. You'll need to find your AUTH, USERID and ROOMID information with this bookmarklet.

Ttapi is also available in Python and Ruby.

See also turntabler (Ruby) maintained by obrie.

Installation

npm install ttapi

Examples

Chat bot

This bot responds to anybody who writes "/hello" in the chat.

var Bot = require('ttapi');
var bot = new Bot(AUTH, USERID, ROOMID);

bot.on('speak', function (data) {
  // Respond to "/hello" command
  if (data.text.match(/^\/hello$/)) {
    bot.speak('Hey! How are you @'+data.name+' ?');
  }
});

Logger

This bot logs the room activity in the console.

var Bot    = require('ttapi');
var AUTH   = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var USERID = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
var ROOMID = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';

var bot = new Bot(AUTH, USERID);

bot.on('ready',        function (data) { bot.roomRegister(ROOMID); });
bot.on('roomChanged',  function (data) { console.log('The bot has changed room.', data); });

bot.on('speak',        function (data) { console.log('Someone has spoken', data); });
bot.on('update_votes', function (data) { console.log('Someone has voted',  data); });
bot.on('registered',   function (data) { console.log('Someone registered', data); });

Dynamic bot

REPL allows you to dynamically call the bot functions and modify his variables during his execution.

var Bot  = require('ttapi')
  , repl = require('repl');

var bot = new Bot(AUTH, USERID, ROOMID);
repl.start('> ').context.bot = bot;

// ...

Debugging

bot.debug = true;

That will print on the terminal all the data that you get and all the data that you send.
