Thriftbooks API

This API is a wrapper around thriftbooks.com that allows developers to programmatically read and update thriftbooks.com account infromation, place orders, and browse the avai- lable selection of books.

Quickstart

Explanation: Create two lists to build your interaction with thriftbooks. The first list is a function list, the second list is http request objects. Then pass these two lists to the runChains( ... ) function. The results will be saved to file.

    var thriftbooks = require("../thriftbooksapi.js");
    
    var thriftbooks = require("../thriftbooksapi.js");
    var thriftbooksObject = new thriftbooks();
    /*
        Lists of thriftbooks functions and their corresponding
        requests that will be executed.
    */
    var functionChain = new Array();
    var requestChain = new Array();
        
    // Set your username and password for thriftbooks.
    thriftbooksObject.setAccount( "user@example.com", "password" );
        
    // Create corresponding function and request chains. 
    functionChain.push(thriftbooksObject.accountInfo);
    requestChain.push(thriftbooksObject.accountInfoRequest);
        
    thriftbooksObject.runChains(functionChain, requestChain);

Functions
