Garage61 Node.js Client

A Node.js client library for the Garage61 API. This library provides a simple interface to access Garage61's motorsports data and telemetry services.

Installation

npm install garage61-js-client

Authentication

The Garage61 API requires authentication using either a Personal Access Token or OAuth2. This client library currently supports Personal Access Token authentication.

const { Garage61Client } = require('garage61-js-client');

// Initialize with your personal access token
const client = new Garage61Client('your-access-token');

Quick Examples

Get User Information

const userInfo = await client.me.getInfo();
console.log(userInfo);

Get Team Information

const teamInfo = await client.teams.getInfo('team-id');
console.log(teamInfo);

Find Laps

const laps = await client.laps.find({
  tracks: [123],  // Track IDs
  cars: [456],    // Car IDs
  limit: 10       // Maximum number of results
});
console.log(laps);

Data Pack Operations

// Get data packs for a team
const dataPacks = await client.dataPacks.list('team-id');

// Get specific data pack
const dataPack = await client.dataPacks.get('team-id', 'datapack-id');

// Subscribe to a data pack
await client.dataPacks.subscribe('datapack-id');

Advanced Examples

The library includes detailed examples in the examples directory:

Lap Comparison Analysis

Located in examples/lap_comparison.js, this example demonstrates how to:

• Download and compare telemetry data from two different laps
• Analyze speed profiles
• Compare throttle and brake usage
• Examine gear usage patterns
• Study acceleration patterns (G-forces)

To run the example:

1. Install the required dependency:

npm install papaparse

2. Update the configuration in examples/lap_comparison.js:

const YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'your-access-token'; // Get this from your Garage61 account
const LAP_ID_1 = 'first-lap-id';  // Get this from the Garage61 API/interface
const LAP_ID_2 = 'second-lap-id'; // Get this from the Garage61 API/interface

3. Run the example:

node examples/lap_comparison.js

The script will output a comprehensive analysis comparing the two laps, including:

• Basic lap information (times, track, car, driver)
• Speed analysis (average and maximum speeds)
• Throttle and brake usage patterns
• Gear usage distribution
• G-force analysis (lateral and longitudinal acceleration)

} catch (error) {
  if (error.response) {
    // The request was made and the server responded with an error status
    console.error('API Error:', error.response.data);
  } else if (error.request) {
    // The request was made but no response was received
    console.error('Network Error:', error.request);
  } else {
    // Something else went wrong
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
}
