#PAGE-API-TO-STREAM

Consume any pageable API and convert it to a stream

Install via npm install page-api-to-stream

// Example (see tests for more):

// Create the paging function that gets the data in pages
// Trick: Use a closure to create a scoped page index (or whatever demarks pages e.g. dates)
function getPagingFunc() {
    var pageIndex = 0;
    function getDataFromApi(lastResponse, callback) {
        // Create url w/ pageIndex (incremented each time)
        // Retrieve page of data
        callback(null, {
            response: res,              // The full response. Will be pass in on next call as 'lastReponse' for own use during api request and paging
            items: res.items || []      // An array of items retrieved. Return 0 to end paging
        });
    }
}
// 'pageApi' will repeatedly call 'getDataFromApi' until zero items are returned
var pageApi = require('./page-api-to-stream');
pageApi(getPagingFunc()).pipe(outStream);
