# Node JS

## Sample Code in Node JS with Express Server

Here it goes the example of how to implement a very simple “parrot” bot (that replies exactly what has been said to it) using Node.js with an Express server:

The below sample code is shared by one of the picky assist customer based in Chile.

```javascript
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

// enable extended to let nested POST
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));

// webhook set up
// on production authenticate each POST - you could add a token to the URL
app.post('/webhook/', (req, res) => {
  // for development only - console log the post content
  console.log(req.body);

  // builds the answer replicating the message sent
  let reply = {
    'message-out': req.body['message-in'],
    'delay': 0,
  };

  // Sends the reply - ENSURE a JSON response add JSON.stringfy just to be safe
  res.status(200).send(JSON.stringify(reply));
});

// Sets server port and logs message on success
app.listen(process.env.PORT || 6000, () => console.log('server is listening'));
```

### Node Js - Push API -Http method

```javascript
var http = require("https");

var options = {
  "method": "POST",
  "hostname": "pickyassist.com",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/app/api/v2/push",
  "headers": {
    "content-type": "application/json",
  }
};

var req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  var chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
  });
});

req.write(JSON.stringify({
  token: 'c2a0b6221c5dd55ceb09ae1f74e46521756d',
  'priority ': 0,
  application: '2',
  sleep: 0,
  globalmessage: '',
  globalmedia: '',
  data: [{number: '1212', message: 'Test'}]
}));
req.end();
```

### Node Js - Unirest

```javascript
var unirest = require("unirest");

var req = unirest("POST", "https://pickyassist.com/app/api/v2/push");


req.headers({
  "content-type": "application/json"
});

req.type("json");
req.send({
  "token": "c2a0b6221c5dd55ceb09ae1f74e46521756d",
  "priority ": 0,
  "application": "2",
  "sleep": 0,
  "globalmessage": "",
  "globalmedia": "",
  "data": [
    {
      "number": "1212",
      "message": "Test"
    }
  ]
});

req.end(function (res) {
  if (res.error) throw new Error(res.error);

  console.log(res.body);
});

```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.pickyassist.com/~/changes/UIUApFI15X6M1wQJrFRy/api-documentation-v2/sample-codes/node-js.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
