Node.js client for the Base API service, with it you can manage authentication, email sending, files and images of your application.

Installation

Add the dependency to your package.json with:

Usage

1. Sign up on www.base-api.io and create an application and copy its access token.

2. Require the package:

   const { Client } = require("base-api-io")

   client =
     new Client("your_access_token")

All functions return promises so you can chain them or just await them.

list =
  await client.mailingLists.unsubscribe('mailing_list_id', '[email protected]')

// Get a public unsubscribe url for the given mailing list and email which
// when click unsubscribes a user from the mailing list and redirects to the
// unsubscribe_redirect_url of the list.
url =
  client.mailingLists.unsubscribeUrl('mailing_list_id', '[email protected]')

// Send the same email to all of the subscribers
results =
  await client.mailingLists.send(
      'mailing_list_id',
      'subject',
