ubsub-client

Build Status npm npm

The ubsub-client is a nodejs module to easily connect to send and receive events from UbSub using sockets and https via CLI.

NOTICE: This package is now ONLY the cli. API and streaming functions have been broken out into libubsub

Using

Installing CLI

With npm

To use the ubsub CLI on your command line, make sure you have a recent version of NodeJS installed, and then run:

npm install -g ubsub
ubsub login

Once installed, you can run ubsub help from command line to see help output.

Static build

There are also static builds for mac, linux, and windows in the releases section.

Commands

Outputting events to the terminal

ubsub listen <topic id>

Forwarding to an internal URL

One of the great uses is the ability to forward an external event URL to something behind your firewall and/or NAT.

ubsub forward <topic id> http://localhost:4000/path/to/it --method POST

This will invoke the endpoint every time the public UbSub URL is hit.

Creating external URL to forward

This is similar to forward, but will create a new topic automatically to be hit.

ubsub webhook http://localhost:4000 [--method POST] [--name mywebhook] [--keyless]

The URL for this topic will be output after starting, and deleted automatically upon exist (unless --keep is specified).

Piping stdin to a topic

You can also pipe stdin (or a file) to a topic.

# Piping and following syslog to a topic
tail -f /var/log/syslog | ubsub pipe <topicId>

Managing Templates

You're able to completely manage templates via the CLI client.

Get existing template:

ubsub templates get --id <id>

Upload a template (will create new if --id is unspecified):

# Update
ubsub templates push --id <id> filename.js

# Create new
ubsub templates push --lang JSVM --name test filename.js

Other commands

Other useful commands include things like:

  • topics - View list of all topics and subscriptions
  • events - List all historic events
  • tokens - Manage and list tokens

For a full list of features, run: ubsub --help
