Smooch API Version

The Smooch API offers multiple versions. Each release of this project targets one and only one Smooch API version. If you depend on an older version of the Smooch API, you may need to use an older release of this library. Use the table below as your guide:

Smooch API version smooch-core version to use
v1.1 Upgrade guide 8.0.0 or newer
v1 7.* or older

Usage

var SmoochCore = require('smooch-core');

// using generated JWT
var smooch = new SmoochCore({
    jwt: 'some-jwt'
});

// using JWT components
var smooch = new SmoochCore({
    keyId: 'some-key',
    secret: 'some-secret',
    scope: 'appUser', // account, app, or appUser
    userId: 'some-id' // only required for appUser scope
});

// ...

smooch.webhooks.get(id).then(function(response) {
    // do something with the response.
});

Usage with a proxy

If you need to use a proxy, you can use one of the many proxies available, as long as it an http.Agent implementation. You only need to pass the agent when creating the SmoochCore instance.

var SmoochCore = require('smooch-core');
var SocksProxyAgent = require('socks-proxy-agent');
var proxy = process.env.http_proxy || 'socks://localhost:8123';
var agent = new SocksProxyAgent(proxy);

var smooch = new SmoochCore({
    keyId: 'some-key',
    secret: 'some-secret',
    httpAgent: agent
});

Testing new additions

If you've just added some new APIs and would like to test them locally before pushing your changes, do the following.

  1. npm run build
  2. Create a simple Node.js script
  3. Import the built SDK
  4. Test it

Example:

const Smooch = require('../smooch-core-js-private/lib/smooch');

const smooch = new Smooch({
    keyId: '<redacted>',
    secret: '<redacted>',
    scope: 'account'
});

(async () => {
    console.log(await smooch.apps.list());
})();
