Search for gift cards using parameters

Look at the official doc (included in /doc) for the parameters accepted by the /marketplace endpoint.

giftbit.search({
    region:		2	// Only the USA
}, function(response) {
    // ...
});

Generate short links

giftbit.createCampaign({
    gifts: [{id:1,value:20}],	// Gift card #1, with a value of $20
    expires: new Date(new Date().getTime()+(1000*60*60*24*7)),	// Expires in 1 week
    count: 5	// generate 5 gift card shortlinks
}, function(campaignId) {
    // ...
});

Check the status of a short links

The short links take some time to be created. You need to check their status until it returns the links.

giftbit.createCampaign({
    gifts: [{id:1,value:20}],	// Gift card #1, with a value of $20
    expires: new Date(new Date().getTime()+(1000*60*60*24*7)),	// Expires in 1 week
    count: 5,	// generate 5 gift card shortlinks
    template: 'WZUMN'	// ID of the template ot use. Create the template on giftbit's site, copy ID from there.
}, function(response) {
    if (response.inprogress) {
        // Link creation in progress.. Check again later.
    } else {
        // response is an array of links
        /*
        [ 'http://gtbt.co/FMM7AeqKh9Q',
          'http://gtbt.co/3Us3M6maBK9',
          'http://gtbt.co/Cb3E7fAJPxY',
          'http://gtbt.co/gdMkNhTk9Tg',
          'http://gtbt.co/cQSAD74Acsc' ]
        */
    }
});

Generate and obtain links without checking at an interval

Use the same options as createCampaign(), but will only execute the callback once the links are ready. It will take care of checking at an interval, so you don't have to create the logic.

giftbit.getLinks({
    gifts: [{id:1,value:20}],	// Gift card #1, with a value of $20
    expires: new Date(new Date().getTime()+(1000*60*60*24*7)),	// Expires in 1 week
    count: 5,	// generate 5 gift card shortlinks
    template: 'WZUMN'	// ID of the template ot use. Create the template on giftbit's site, copy ID from there.
}, function(links) {
    /*
    [ 'http://gtbt.co/FMM7AeqKh9Q',
      'http://gtbt.co/3Us3M6maBK9',
      'http://gtbt.co/Cb3E7fAJPxY',
      'http://gtbt.co/gdMkNhTk9Tg',
      'http://gtbt.co/cQSAD74Acsc' ]
    */
});
