Arduino iot-api Javascript client

Installation

npm i @arduino/arduino-iot-client

For browser

The library also works in the browser environment via npm and browserify. After following the above steps with Node.js and installing browserify with npm install -g browserify, perform the following (assuming main.js is your entry file):

browserify main.js > bundle.js

Then include bundle.js in the HTML pages.

Webpack Configuration

Using Webpack you may encounter the following error: "Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module", most certainly you should disable AMD loader. Add/merge the following section to your webpack config:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      parser: {
        amd: false
      }
    }
  ]
}

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following JS code:

var ArduinoIotClient = require('@arduino/arduino-iot-client');
var client = ArduinoIotClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure OAuth2 access token for authorization: oauth2
var oauth2 = client.authentications['oauth2'];
oauth2.accessToken = await getToken();
    
var api = new ArduinoIotClient.DevicesV2Api(client)
/* if required, organization_id can be configured as follow and the, pass opts var to function.
let opts = {
  'xOrganization': "<org_id>"
};
*/
api.devicesV2List().then(devices => {
    console.log(devices);
}, error => {
    console.log(error)
});

For a working example, see the example folder in this repo.

Authentication

The client requires a valid OAuth2 access token, you can get one like this:

var rp = require('request-promise');

var options = {
    method: 'POST',
    url: 'https://api2.arduino.cc/iot/v1/clients/token',
    headers: { 'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    json: true,
    form: {
        grant_type: 'client_credentials',
        client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
        client_secret: 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
        audience: 'https://api2.arduino.cc/iot'
        // If required, specify organization identifier adding "organization_id: '<org_id>'" in form.
    }
};

try {
    const response = await rp(options);
    console.log("Access token: " + response['access_token']);
}
catch (error) {
    console.error("Failed getting an access token: " + error)
}
