Botly API – Official Node.js SDK

This package provides a minimal and lightweight interface to interact with the Botly AI Chatbot API from your Node.js backend.

Supports secure server-side usage with built-in error handling and minimal dependencies.

Features

* 🌐 Simple API to send user messages
* 🔐 API key-based authentication
* ⚙️ Uses axios under the hood
* 💬 Optimized for server-side environments

---

Installation

``bash
npm install botlyapi
`

---

Usage

`js
const { Botly } = require('botlyapi');

Botly("What's the weather today?", "YOUR_BOTLY_API_KEY")
.then(response => {
console.log("Botly replied:", response);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error("Error calling Botly:", error.message);
});
`

> You must replace "YOUR_BOTLY_API_KEY" with a valid Botly API key.

---

Response Format

The Botly function returns a Promise that resolves to the chatbot's reply as a string:

`js
"Today looks sunny with a high of 28°C!"
`

In case of an error (e.g., invalid key, network failure), the Promise will reject with a descriptive error message.
