This module makes it slightly easier to define API widgets for geckoboard

Install

npm install geckoboard

Basic Usage

Create a GeckoBoard client and pass in an express instance:

var app        = require('express').createServer(),
    GeckoBoard = require('geckoboard');

gecko = GeckoBoard.createClient({
    server: app,
    path: '/widget',
    key: 'asdf123'
});

and then define request handlers with request. Call the respond function with error, data to render your response to the API:

gecko.request("live-users", function(respond) {
    res = {item: [{
                text: "",
                "value" : 123
            }, {
                text: "",
                value: 238
            }]
    };

    respond(null, res);
});

app.listen(3000, function() {
    console.log('Listening on port 3000');
});

Cool, now check out your api at localhost:3000/widget/live-users.

API Keys

If you set an API key, the server will use HTTP basic auth. Your key goes in the username field.
