ebird.js

Damn small node.js library to deal with v2 eBird API.

Installation

npm install --save ebird

Usage

First, get an API key from eBird.

You may use a .env file in your project's root, to store it (don't forget to add it to .gitignore):

# .env
EBIRD_API_KEY=secret

Then you could use dotenv package to retrieve your credentials from this file:

npm install dotenv

require('dotenv').config()
const ebird = require('ebird')(process.env.EBIRD_API_KEY);

Endpoints

data/obs

data/obs/{{regionCode}}/recent

ebird.data.obs.in('FR')().then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

NB. The documentation needs further work
