dblsqd Node.js SDK

This module provides a simple Promise-based API for retrieving and parsing DBLSQD Feeds.

Which DBLSQD module should I use?

This module is useful for adding update notifications and/or auto-updates to any Node.js application.

If you are using Electron, you can also use the drop-in auto-update UI built on top of this module, dblsqd-electron.

If you need access to the full API of DBLSQD (e. g. for integrating DBLSQD into deployment tools), check out the dblsqd-api module.
