Datadog API Node.JS Client.

Official Datadog API Documentation: http://docs.datadoghq.com/api/

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

## StatsD

`dogapi` does not provide any functionality to talk to a local `dogstatsd` server.
This library is purely an interface to the HTTP api.

If you are looking for a good Datadog StatsD library, I recommend checking out [node-dogstatsd](https://github.com/joybro/node-dogstatsd).

## Installation

**From NPM:**
```bash
[sudo] npm install dogapi
```

**From source:**
```bash
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

```javascript
var dogapi = require("dogapi");

var options = {
api_key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
app_key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE",
// if you are on the Datadog EU site, you need to overwrite the default value of api_host key:
// api_host: "app.datadoghq.eu"
};

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.

```javascript
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:

```json
{
"api_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.

## Major changes from 1.x.x to 2.x.x
We have updated major versions for this library due to a backwards incompatible change to the argument format for `dogapi.metric.send` and `dogapi.metric.send_all`.

### dogapi.metric.send
Previously in `1.x.x`:

```javascript
var now = parseInt(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
dogapi.metric.send("metric.name", 50);
dogapi.metric.send("metric.name", [now, 50]);
```

Now in `2.x.x`:

```javascript
var now = parseInt(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
dogapi.metric.send("metric.name", 50);
dogapi.metric.send("metric.name", [50, 100]);
dogapi.metric.send("metric.name", [[now, 50]]);
```

### dogapi.metric.send_all
Previously in `1.x.x`:

```javascript
var now = parseInt(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
var metrics = [
{
metric: "metric.name",
points: [now, 50]
},
{
metric: "metric.name",
points: 50
}
];
dogapi.metric.send_all(metrics);
```

Now in `2.x.x`:

```javascript
var now = parseInt(new Date().getTime() / 1000);
var metrics = [
{
metric: "metric.name",
points: [[now, 50]]
},
{
metric: "metric.name",
points: [50, 100]
},
{
metric: "metric.name",
points: 50
}
];
dogapi.metric.send_all(metrics);
```
