dogapi API Docs: http://brettlangdon.github.io/node-dogapi/

note dogapi has been updated to v1.0.0 the api has changed quiet a bit please be sure to review the new api before upgrading.

Installation

From NPM:

[sudo] npm install dogapi

From source:

git clone git://github.com/brettlangdon/node-dogapi.git
cd ./node-dogapi
npm install

Configuration

You will need your Datadog api key as well as an application key to use dogapi.

Keys can be found at: https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api

var dogapi = require("dogapi");

var options = {
 api_key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
 app_key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
};

dogapi.initialize(options);

HTTPS Proxy

If you are behind a proxy you need to a proxy agent. You can use the https proxy agent from http://blog.vanamco.com/proxy-requests-in-node-js/ if you like. To configure dogapi with the agent just add it to the options.

var dogapi = require("dogapi");

//Code from http://blog.vanamco.com/proxy-requests-in-node-js/
var HttpsProxyAgent = require("./httpsproxyagent");

var agent = new HttpsProxyAgent({
   proxyHost: "MY_PROXY_HOST",
   proxyPort: 3128
});

var options = {
   api_key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
   app_key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
   proxy_agent: agent
};

dogapi.initialize(options);

CLI Usage

dogapi now ships with a command line interface dogapi. To use it you will need a .dogapirc file which meets the standards of https://github.com/dominictarr/rc

The config file must contain both api_key and app_key keys (you can find your datadog api and app keys here https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#api)

Example:

{
  "api_key": "<API_KEY>",
  "app_key": "<APP_KEY>"
}

Usage

Please run dogapi --help to see current usage documentation for the tool.

Every api method available in dogapi is exposed via the cli tool.

TODO

• Add tests
• Add parameter validation (especially for dashboards)
