Allow changing host and apikey on the fly.

Allow changing host and apikey on the fly.

So I got clarification from Blizzard that the old style host will be going away, so there is no point in allowing the host to be overridden. I still do have a problem that the new style host is not working for me. I think it must be something to do with the environment I am in (node webkit rather than node). I will try and investigate some more.

Edit: Apparently I fail at copy and pasting apikeys. Your library works great, looking forward to the ability to set the apikey on the fly.

I too would like the ability to set the API key on the fly. Do you still work on this?

Hi @Schamper I am still maintaining the repo and have started work on this issue. I've just been a bit slack since I've been involved in a work project. Sorry!

I'll get something out this weekend since I also need to check if there's anything to do to support the new Australian servers (yay!) and the features that have recently been released to the API.

@benweier great to hear!

Just an FYI on the delay - I found that simply adding an apikey option to the request object - while a serviceable solution - isn't going to cut it. I'm currently refactoring the parameters that get passed to the request module so that the requested data (character name/realm, achievement ID, etc) is separate from the request config (API key, custom timeout/gzip settings, or JSONP response).

This should provide a better solution overall for everyone using the module, but unfortunately will need a little more time to get right.

Good news, I've finalised the solution (technically it's two solutions) and will be releasing an update in the next couple days. The changes will be API-compatible with any existing usage aside from one minor detail in the require statement.

var bnet = require('battlenet-api')

will become

var bnet = require('battlenet-api')()

You may optionally pass your API key with the require like so

var bnet = require('battlenet-api')(BATTLENET_API_KEY)

or you may pass the API key to the request method like so

bnet.wow.character.profile({origin: a, realm: b, name: c}, {apikey: x}, callback)

Watch this space for the commit.
