<h1>Node EC2</h1>

<p>Evended Node.js bindings to the EC2 Query API.</p>





<h2>Synopsis</h2>

<p>Node EC2 is a thin layer over the Amazon Query API.</p>

<p>Because <code>node-ec2</code> is a thin layer over the Amazon Query API, you can use the
<a href="http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/index.html?query-apis.html">Amazon API
Reference</a>
to find your way around. Node EC2 calls translate directly to Amazon Query API.</p>

<p>Other than converting parameter maps to signed query strings and converting the
XML responses to JSON objects, there is no syntactic sugar. See Rationale.</p>

<p>Here's an example using
<a href="http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/index.html?ApiReference-query-RunInstances.html">RunInstances</a>.</p>

<div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">ec2</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">require</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;ec2&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<h2>Installing</h2>

<p>The easiest way to install is using npm.</p>

<div class='highlight'><pre>npm install ec2</pre></div>

<p>You can also checkout the source code for incusion in your <code>NODE_PATH</code> using
<code>git</code>. </p>





<h2>Reference</h2>



<h3 class="namespace">ec2</h3>



<p>Node EC2 exports the ec2 namespace, which includes a single factory method to
crate the Amazon EC2 Query API client object.</p>

<div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kd">var</span> <span class="nx">ec2</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">require</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;ec2&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>







<h3 class="function">ec2.createClient()</h3>






<p>Creates an {{AmazonEC2Client}} object for use in </p>



<h3 class="class">ec2.AmazonEC2Client()</h3>





<p>Communicates with the Amazon Query API.</p>




<h3 class="function">call(name[, parameters][, callback])</h3>




<div class="parameter">
<h4>name</h4>

<p>The Amazon EC2 Query API action to perform.</p>

</div>

<div class="parameter">
<h4>parameters</h4>

<p>Named parameters for the Amazon EC2 Query API action.</p>

</div>

<div class="parameter">
<h4>callback</h4>

<p>A callback function that is called with JSON object containing the Amazon EC2

</div>



<p>Call an Amazon Query API action.</p>




<h3 class="function">poll(name[, parameters][, callback])</h3>

<h4>name</h4>

</div>

<div class="parameter">
<h4>parameters</h4>

<p>Named parameters for the Amazon EC2 Query API action.</p>

</div>

<div class="parameter">
<h4>callback</h4>

<p>A callback function that is called with JSON object containing the Amazon EC2
Query API repsonse when the Amazon EC2 Query API action completes. If the

</div>



<p>Call an Amazon Query API action while a condition is false.</p>




<h3 class="function">execute()</h3>

<h3 class="event">on("error", function (error, statusCode) {})</h3>



<div class="parameter">
<h4>error</h4>

<p>The error response structure.</p>

</div>

<div class="parameter">
<h4>statusCode</h4>

<p>The HTTP status code for the error response.</p>

</div>



<p>Called when there is any error, both network errors, and exceptions thrown by
