Awesome

:warning: DISCONTINUATION NOTICE

HipChat itself is discontinued by Atlassian due to their partnership with Slack.

This Elixir library is therefore no longer maintained, and goes archive. Thanks for your interest though! :heart:

hipchat_elixir

HipChat client library for Elixir.

• API Documentation

Policy

• Using Erlang's built-in httpc as HTTP client, for easier dependency management.
• No state. Access tokens and other credentials should be retrieved/stored by caller applications.
• Relying on HipChat cloud for parameter validations.
• Covering APIs used in server side only.
• Generating codes from Swagger (OpenAPI) specifications in ymtszw/hipchat_swagger.
  • Read more in here.

Basic Usage

0. Add :hipchat_elixir as a dependency.
1. Create client struct (Hipchat.ApiClient.new/3).
   • Pass access_token if the targeted API requires authentication.
   • See here for details.
2. Pass the resultant client and other parameters to the targeted API function.

Hipchat.ApiClient.new("access_token")
|> Hipchat.V2.Rooms.send_room_notification("room_id", %{message: "Hello HipChat!"})
# {:ok, %Hipchat.Httpc.Response{body: "", headers: ..., status: 204}}

About Content-Type

Request bodies are sent as content-type: application/json or content-type: x-www-form-urlencoded depending on :serializer config value.

• See config/config.exs for example.
• Some HipChat APIs (implicitly) require content-type: application/json, so introducing JSON serializer is almost mandatory.
  • Currently only supports Poison.

Status

Basic chat related APIs (CRUD operation of rooms/users, sending messages/notifications, etc) are covered.

Many add-on (extension) related APIs are not covered. Since HipChat itself is sunsetting and moving toward Stride, I may not revisit to perfect these. If interested, contributions are welcomed.

Only supports HipChat cloud (not HipChat server).
