ConcordAPI

ConcordAPI is intended to be a simple way of interacting with the Concord Services and it's REST API via Node.js.

Notice: This module is in early development, and may have minor bugs and inconveniences, this module is under active development by the Concord Team and Community

Getting Started

Install the Concord-API NPM Package with:

npm i concordapi

And require the module in your Node.js application with:

var concord = require("concordapi")

Using the API

Reading Concord Exchange (CXDx) Prices

To check a coin's price in CXD use:

concord.price(string).then(price => {
  console.log(price) // Logs the price of 'string'
})

For example, using:

var coin = "IC"

concord.price(coin).then(price => {
  console.log(coin + " is priced at " + price + " CXD") // Logs the price of 'IC'
})

Would log the price of IC (Ignition Coin) live from the Concord Exchange.

Reading Concord Social Platform (CSP) Profiles

There are two options you can choose from, to read data from a user's profile.

Method One - Via the user Object

The user Object contains all public data of a user's profile, the contents of the object can be seen by stringifying the result of the function:

/* userID is the DiscordID of the user who's profile you're reading from, as a string */
concord.getUser(userID).then(user => {
  console.log("User's full data object: "+JSON.stringify(user))

	console.log("User's balance is "+user.balance)
	console.log("User's Discord Username is "+user.discordUsername)
	console.log("User's Discord ID is "+user.discordID)
})

Method Two - Individual Profile elements

If you don't want to use the full object, or want to create a Lightweight function without accessing the object, you can use:

concord.getBalance(userID).then(balance => {
  console.log("Balance of "+userID+" is " + balance + " CXD")
})

Sending a Transaction through ConcordPay

ConcordPay is a simple online interface for the Lightnet transaction system, transactions can be sent directly to any registered Lightnet User from any integrated Platform.

To send a transaction, you first need to provide your Concord Home account credentials in an Object, as shown below:

var auth = {u: 'username-here', p: 'password-here'} /* Replace values with your real credentials! */

Once you've entered your Auth-data, send your transaction!

var amount = 25 /* The amount of Concord (CXD) you are sending */
var to = 'username-of-transaction-receiver' /* This is the user Receiving the transaction */

concord.send(auth, amount, to).then(response => { /* Sends your Auth and Transaction data to Lightnet for processing */
  console.log(response) /* Logs the API's response to the console. E.G: "(User)'s Payment Has Sent!'" */
})

And to Receive transactions, simply give your Concord Home username to the application/user that wants to pay you

Full Examples

Examples in this section can be freely copy/pasted into your code and modified to your choosing, and when unmodified and authenticated, "just work"

Example 1. Continuously pulling a Concord Exchange coin price

  /* This script would run indefinitely until the console/terminal is closed manually */
var concord = require("concordapi")

var coin = "IC" // A Coin listed on the CXDx to check the price of, in CXD.
setInterval(checkPrice, 5000) // Check coin price every 5 seconds

function checkPrice () {
  	concord.price(coin).then(price => {
		console.log('1 '+coin+' is '+price+' CXD') // Prints the price of the CXDx Coin
  	})
}

Example 2. Authenticating and sending a Transaction

var auth = {u: 'username-here', p: 'password-here'}
var amount = 25  /* The amount of Concord (CXD) you are sending */
var to = 'username-of-receiver'  /* This is the user Receiving the transaction */

concord.send(auth, amount, to).then(response => { /* The API Package function, to send the payment to the Lightnet Server */
  console.log(response)  /* Logs the API's response to the console. E.G: "(User)'s Payment Has Sent!'" */
})
