fastbill

A client implementation for communicating with the FastBill API.

Installation

npm install --save fastbill

Quick Start

Using this client is easy. All you need is an FastBill account and your personal API key. You don't have to register the key manually, it is there. Check your settings page (Settings -> Account).

'use strict';

var FastBill = require('fastbill');

var api = FastBill.instantiate({
    email: '[email protected]',
    apikey: 'your-long-api-key'
});

You will have access to the API services after instantiating the communication object.

Services

FastBill provides several services for interacting with the data in your account. This module provides a clean abstraction from interacting with the API in a raw fashion. The following part describes how to use the different parts of this client.

• Customer

Customer

Methods for accessing, creating, updating and deleting your customers.

• get
• create
• update
• delete

get(options, callback)

Requests the details from one or more customers. When no filter is set, it returns all customers (API doc)

• options An object for controlling the result set
  • limit Limits the result set
  • offset Result set offset
  • filter Filter params for restricting the result set
• callback Error-first style callback

Usage example

api.consumer.get(function (err, consumers) {
    if (err) {
        return console.error(err);
    }
    
    console.log(consumers);
});

create(customer, callback)

Creates a new customer (API doc)

• customer An object which describes the customer that should be created. See the (API doc) in order to learn the attributes that should be used.
• callback Error-first style callback

Usage example

var customer = {
    CUSTOMER_TYPE: 'consumer',
    LAST_NAME: 'König',
    COUNTRY_CODE: 'DE',
    PAYMENT_TYPE: 1,
    BANK_NAME: 'Postbank',
    BANK_CODE: 1000000,
    BANK_ACCOUNT_NUMBER: 9000000,
    BANK_ACCOUNT_OWNER: 'König',
    BANK_ACCOUNT_MANDATE_REFERENCE: 'DEPBXXXXXXX'
};

api.consumer.create(customer, function (err, id) {
    if (err) {
        return console.error(err);
    }
    
    console.log('Created customer with id %s', id);
});

update(id, modification, callback)

Updates the information of a customer (API doc).

• id The id of the customer which should be altered.
• modification The changed customer properties
• callback Error-first style callback

Usage example

var modification = {
    FIRST_NAME: 'André'
};

api.customer.update(1, modification, function (err) {
    if (err) {
        return console.error(err);
    }
    
    console.log('Updated customer');
});

delete(id, callback)

Deletes a customer (API doc).

• id The id of the customer which should be deleted.
• callback Error-first style callback

Usage example

api.customer.delete(1, function (err) {
