## LiveJournal API

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/agentcooper/node-livejournal.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/agentcooper/node-livejournal)

`npm install livejournal`

This package provides access to both XMLRPC and JSONRPC APIs for LiveJournal.

## XMLRPC

* http://wh.lj.ru/s2/developers/f/LiveJournal_XML-RPC_Specification_(EN).pdf

* http://www.livejournal.com/doc/server/ljp.csp.xml-rpc.protocol.html

Examples

```javascript

// get posts inside the journal using XMLRPC

LiveJournal.xmlrpc.getevents({

  journal: 'brad',

  auth_method: 'noauth',

  selecttype: 'lastn',

  howmany: 20

}, function(err, value) {

  console.log(value.events);

});

```

```javascript

// get post content using XMLRPC

LiveJournal.xmlrpc.getevents({

  journal: 'brad',

  auth_method: 'noauth',

  selecttype: 'one',

  ditemid: '29215'

}, function(err, post) {

  console.log(post.events[0]);

});

```

## JSONRPC

There is no official public description of LiveJournal JSON RPC methods, but you can check `Site.rpc.public` on `http://livejournal.com`. Because the data is stored on CDN, you can access the data from anywhere.

Those are current ones (badly documented, contributions are welcome):

##### `discovery.author_posts`

##### `comment.get_thread`

Get comments thread

```

Params:

journal -- Journal username

itemid -- Post id

```

##### `latest.get_entries`

Get latest posts

```

Params:

first_timepost

```

##### `browse.get_posts`

##### `gifts.get_gifts_categories`

##### `gifts.get_all_gifts`

##### `homepage.get_categories`

##### `discovery.suggest`

##### `sitemessage.get_message`

##### `discovery.get_categories`

##### `browse.get_categories`

##### `writers_block.get_list`

##### `discovery.today`

##### `discovery.get_feed`

##### `discovery.get_item`

##### `homepage.get_rating`

##### `browse.get_communities`

Examples

```js

// get latest posts using JSONRPC

LiveJournal.jsonrpc.request('latest.get_entries', {

  first_timepost: 1435262400

}, function(err, res) {

  console.log(res.body.result.params.recent);

});

```

```js

// get comments using JSONRPC

LiveJournal.jsonrpc.request('comment.get_thread', {

  journal: 'tema',

  itemid: '1987717'

}, function(err, res) {

  console.log(res.body.result.comments)

});

```
