Can we use a node library to curate the APIs? #30

Open varzaman opened 8 years ago

varzaman commented 8 years ago

It might be possible to find a use a node library instead of REST calls to hit various APIs like GitHub.

Thoughts? Should we do this instead of REST calls?

Node libraries found

Github: https://github.com/mikedeboer/node-github

FigShare: https://www.npmjs.com/package/figshare

@lukecoy You've implemented the figshare endpoints; do you think something like this for other repositories will be useful?

lukecoy commented 8 years ago

the figshare package was last updated 7 months ago, which means it doesn't support V2. our in-house client supports v2. github may be a more current option that we can consider, though.
