Reading and Writing Data Using the Landingi API

Aug 18, 20245 minute read

Hey there, fellow JavaScript wizards! Ready to dive into the world of Landingi API integration? Let's roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty with some code.

Introduction

Landingi's API is your ticket to programmatically managing landing pages and form submissions. Whether you're building a custom dashboard or syncing data with your CRM, this guide will get you up and running in no time.

Authentication

First things first, let's get you authenticated. Head over to your Landingi account and grab your API credentials. We're using OAuth 2.0, so here's a quick snippet to get you started:

const axios = require('axios'); async function getAccessToken(clientId, clientSecret) { const response = await axios.post('https://api.landingi.com/oauth/token', { grant_type: 'client_credentials', client_id: clientId, client_secret: clientSecret }); return response.data.access_token; }

Reading Data

Now that we're in, let's fetch some data. Here's how you can grab your landing pages:

async function getLandingPages(accessToken) { const response = await axios.get('https://api.landingi.com/v2/landing-pages', { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}` } }); return response.data; }

Pro tip: Keep an eye on those rate limits! You don't want to get locked out just when things are getting interesting.

Writing Data

Time to flex those creative muscles. Let's create a new landing page:

async function createLandingPage(accessToken, pageData) { const response = await axios.post('https://api.landingi.com/v2/landing-pages', pageData, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}` } }); return response.data; }

Syncing Data

Real-time updates are the name of the game. Set up a webhook listener to stay in sync:

const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.post('/webhook', express.json(), (req, res) => { const event = req.body; // Handle the event console.log('Received event:', event); res.sendStatus(200); }); app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Webhook listener running on port 3000'));

Optimizing Performance

Keep it snappy! Cache when you can and batch those operations:

const cache = new Map(); async function getCachedLandingPage(accessToken, pageId) { if (cache.has(pageId)) { return cache.get(pageId); } const page = await getLandingPage(accessToken, pageId); cache.set(pageId, page); return page; }

Error Handling and Logging

Don't let those pesky errors catch you off guard. Wrap your API calls in try-catch blocks:

async function safeApiCall(apiFunction) { try { return await apiFunction(); } catch (error) { console.error('API call failed:', error.message); // Handle the error appropriately } }

Security Considerations

Keep those API keys under lock and key! Use environment variables and never, ever commit them to version control:

require('dotenv').config(); const clientId = process.env.LANDINGI_CLIENT_ID; const clientSecret = process.env.LANDINGI_CLIENT_SECRET;

Conclusion

And there you have it! You're now armed and ready to integrate Landingi into your JavaScript projects like a pro. Remember, the API is your oyster – so get out there and build something awesome!
