Usage

The library provides two auth ways, oauth client and api key client. Both have the same funcionallity and you should choose one of them depending on you requirements.

var CartoDB = require('cartodb');
var secret = require('./secret.js');


/* you could change this providing an api_key instead of consumer key / secret if you want to use oath
client = new CartoDB({
       user: secret.USER,
       password: secret.password,
       consumer_key: secret.CONSUMER_KEY, 
       consumer_secret: secret.CONSUMER_SECRET
});
*/
var client = new CartoDB({user: secret.USER,api_key: secret.API_KEY});


client.on('connect', function() {
    console.log("connected");
});

// Data if automatically parsed
client.on('data', function(data) {
    console.log(results.rows);
});

client.on('error', function(err) {
    console.log("some error ocurred");
});

// request two queries
client.query("select * from {table} limit 5", {table: 'tracker'}); // template can be used
client.query("select * from tracker limit 5 offset 5");
