Envato API

This package is an asynchronous implementation of the new Envato API and provides an easy interface for accessing all applicable methods. At the moment, this package only supports personal token authentication, not OAuth.

Motivation

I wanted an easy wrapper for the Envato API which would simplfy the way you pass variables and handle errors automatically, returning a raw JSON response. This package does just that.

• All variables are passed via one object.
• Returns a promise object.
• Resolves with the parsed JSON output.
• Rejects with any errors.

Installation

npm install --save envato-api

Usage

First you must require the package into your module. Note that the package exports a function which is used for setting your personal token and user agent.

Be sure to replace the two variables.

• PERSONAL_TOKEN is the secret token you retrieved from https://build.envato.com/my-apps.
• USER_AGENT is a description of your script only visible to the Envato API team. You should include your contact email and a short description of what your script does.

var EnvatoAPI = require('envato-api')('PERSONAL_TOKEN', 'USER_AGENT');

Methods

Each method is detailed at https://build.envato.com/api/. All parameter names are the same, and should be passed inside an object.

Envato Market Stats

• Total Envato Market items — getTotalMarketItems()
• Number of files in category — getTotalFilesBySite({ site: 'codecanyon' })

Return

Each method will return a Promise which will resolve with the parsed JSON object or reject with an error. The output is not modified, so the output is the same as on build.envato.com.

EnvatoAPI.getUsername().then(
    function (response) {
        console.log('Current user is:', response.username);
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log('Error:', error.message);
    }
);

Errors

The error.message property will contain the following under these circumstances:

• Bad Request when invalid parameters are sent or required parameters are missing.
• Unauthorized when the personal token is invalid.
• Access Denied when you've reached your rate limit or are banned.
• Not Found when no matches or results were found by the endpoint.
• Internal Server Error when the API is experiencing problems.
• Request Error: <message> when there's an error executing the HTTP request.
  • Timeout errors
  • Connection errors
  • SSL errors
• Error code <000>: <message> when another HTTP code is received than those above.
