Client library
In addition to being able to use Messages and Dispatch via the REST APIs, Nexmo also provides client library support.
NOTE: Currently client library support is only available for Node.
Installation
During Beta, the Node client library containing support for the Messages and Dispatch API can be installed using:
$ npm install --save nexmo@beta
If you already have the library installed the above command will upgrade your library to the latest version.
Usage
If you decide to use the client library you will need the following information:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
NEXMO_API_KEY |
The Nexmo API key which you can obtain from your Nexmo Dashboard. |
NEXMO_API_SECRET |
The Nexmo API secret which you can obtain from your Nexmo Dashboard. |
NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID |
The Nexmo Application ID for your Nexmo Application which can be obtained from your Nexmo Dashboard. |
NEXMO_APPLICATION_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH |
The path to the private.key file that was generated when you created your Nexmo Application. |
These variables can then be replaced with actual values in the client library example code.
Examples
See the Building Blocks section for further examples on how to use the client library.
