Authentication

Logging in to Meower is the first thing you'll want to do as it'll initiate a client which you can then use to interact with the Meower API. The design of api-client allows you to import only the things you need. Below, we have examples on how to both login and signup.

Logging into Meower

If just want the part of api-client dealing with events, it's possible to login using the socket class. To do that, you can use the following code:

import { socket } from '@meower/api-client';

const events = await socket.login({
	api_url: 'https://api.meower.org',
	api_token: 'your.token.here',
	socket_url: 'wss://server.meower.org',
});

events.on('auth', ({ username }) => {
	console.log(`logged in as ${username}`);
});

For the REST API and Meower Uploads, the process is relatively similar. If you would like access to all three, you can use the following code:

import { client } from '@meower/api-client';

const meower = await client.login({
	api_url: 'https://api.meower.org',
	socket_url: 'wss://server.meower.org',
	uploads_url: 'https://uploads.meower.org',
	username: 'your.username',
	password: 'password.or.api.token',
});

meower.socket.on('auth', ({ username }) => {
	console.log(`logged in as ${username}`);
});

The client class provides access to the REST API, Events Server, and Meower Uploads and handles things such as token-refreshing.

Signing up

If you want to signup, you'll want to use either the client.signup or rest.signup methods, both of which accept an additional captcha parameter. See the API Docs for more information on that.
