iex.js JavaScript Library

• iex.js Core Data Methods
• iex.js Apperate CRUD Methods

iex.js (or simply iexjs) is a client library for getting data from Apperate and operating on Apperate resources, such as data, datasets, data sources, and more. The easy-to-use JavaScript methods wrap calls to IEX Cloud endpoints, so you can tap into Core Data, permissioned datasets, and Apperate resource CRUD operations.

Installation

Use npm to install iexjs.

npm install --save iexjs

Note

iexjs can also run in the browser via native fetch and eventsource, or from node via cross-fetch and eventsource.

Examples

The iexjs Client object stores your API token (API key) and IEX Cloud API version (e.g., v1) for convenience.

Tip

The iexjs client automatically picks up tokens from the environment variable IEX_TOKEN.

Here are some examples.

Get a real-time stock quote:

const {Client} = require("@apperate/iexjs")
const client = new Client({api_token: "TOKEN", version: "VERSION"});
client.quote({symbol: "AAPL"}).then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
});

iex.js Core Data Methods has information on all the methods.

Get Apple’s latest cash flow details:

const {Client} = require("@apperate/iexjs")
const client = new Client({api_token: "TOKEN", version: "VERSION"});
client.apperate.queryData({key: "AAPL", workspace: "CORE", id: "CASH_FLOW"}).then((res) => {
    console.log(res);
});

The client’s apperate object (shown above) has wrapper methods to Apperate APIs, including the Data API. The queryData method retrieves data from a dataset via the dataset id. You can retrieve data from a CORE dataset or any workspace dataset you have access to.
