Edmunds API JavaScript SDK

A simple wrapper to help you make API calls against the Edmunds API. The SDK is all open-source on GitHub, and all are welcome to contribute. Except as otherwise noted, the Edmunds API JavaScript SDK is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.

Before using the SDK, it's highly recommended that you check out the following:

1. The API Documentation
2. The API Console

Quick Start

Add the SDK asynchronously to your page:

// Load the SDK asynchronously
(function(d, s, id){
   	var js, sdkjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
 	js.src = "../../edmunds.api.sdk.js";
	sdkjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, sdkjs);
}(document, 'script', 'edmunds-jssdk'));

You also need to define the sdkAsyncInit function that the SDK calls when done loading on your page. Here's an example to get the top 5 articles in the Awards category of Edmunds Articles

window.sdkAsyncInit = function() {
	// Instantiate the SDK
	var res = new EDMUNDSAPI('YOUR EDITORIAL API KEY');

	// Get articles
	var options = {
		"category": "awards",
		"limit": "0,5"
	};

	// Callback function to be called when the API response is returned
	function success(reviews) {
		var len = reviews.length;
		var html = [];
		for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
			html.push('<a href="'+reviews[i].link+'"><h2>'+reviews[i].title+'</h2></a>');
			html.push(	'<div class="body">'+reviews[i].content+'</div>');
		}
		var body = document.getElementById('review-body');
		body.innerHTML = html.join('');
	}

	// Oops, Houston we have a problem
	function fail() {
		console.log(data);
	}

	// Fire the API call
	res.api('/v1/content/', options, success, fail);

    // Additional initialization code goes here

};
