pb-node

Pandorabots API module for Node.js. Please read the documentation for further information regarding naming conventions and file types.

You will need both a user_key and app_id, which you can get from your account on our legacy AIAAS developer portal, or sign up as a Premium user on our Pandorabots platform.

Installation

$ npm install pb-node

Usage

var Pandorabot = require('pb-node');

var options = {
  url: '{hostname: https://aiaas.pandorabots.com | https://api.pandorabots.com}',
  app_id: **************,
  user_key: ************,
  botname: *************
};

var bot = new Pandorabot(options);

Methods

List all bots

bot.list(function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Create a bot

bot.create(function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Delete a bot

bot.delete(function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Upload a file

var file = './example.aiml';

bot.upload(file, function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Get a file

var file = 'example.aiml';

bot.getFile(file, function(err, file) {
  if (!err) console.log(file);
});

Remove a file

var file = 'example.aiml';

bot.remove(file, function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Get a bot

bot.get(function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

You can download your bot's files as a .zip by passing true as the first parameter:

bot.get(true, function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Compile a bot

bot.compile(function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Talk

The input parameter is required. All others are optional:

var talkParams = {
  client_name: YOUR_CLIENT_NAME,
  sessionid: YOUR_SESSION_ID,
  input: YOUR_INPUT,
  extra: BOOLEAN,
  trace: BOOLEAN,
  recent: BOOLEAN
}

bot.talk(talkParams, function (err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});

Anonymous talk

Use this API to create a new client_name. Then, store this value and pass it in to future talk requests:

bot.atalk({ input: 'hello' }, function(err, res) {
  if (!err) console.log(res);
});
