Precog Client for JavaScript

Precog is a powerful analytics platform for JSON data. This JavaScript client allows easy streaming, uploading, and querying of data.

Installation

Browser

Include precog.min.js to get a global Precog object:

<script src="precog.min.js"></script>

node.js

Install the precog library:

npm install precog

And load the library:

var precog = require('precog');

Getting Started

1. Create a new Precog API by specifying your API key.

   var api = new Precog.api({"apiKey": "[MY API KEY]", "analyticsService" : "https://beta.precog.com"});
   

2. Upload or stream some JSON data into a subdirectory of your base path. Your base path starts with your Precog account ID.

   api.append({path: '/[MY ACCOUNT ID]/test', value: {age: 29, gender: 'male'}});
   

3. Query your JSON data.

   api.execute({query: 'count(//[MY ACCOUNT ID]/test)'});
