Description

node-oscar is an OSCAR protocol module for node.js.

Requirements

  • node.js -- tested with v0.2.6
  • An AIM or ICQ account -- Note: Only ICQ UINs will work and they must be a String when supplied as the username. For new ICQ accounts, they do not give you your ICQ UIN right away (you log in by email address). For these new accounts, you can find your UIN by: logging with the ICQ web client and editing your profile OR by going here (https://www.icq.com/karma/login_page.php), clicking the "Enable Log In With an Email" link, and logging in (your UIN will be displayed on the next page).

Example

See test.js for example API usage.

API

node-oscar exposes one object: OscarConnection.

Data types

  • User is an Object representing information about a particular user. The following are all valid properties but may not always be filled in:
    • name - A String containing the user (screen) name.
    • fullname - A String containing the user's personal full name.
    • warnLevel - An Integer representing the user's current warning level.
    • class - A bit field indicating the type of user (see the USER_CLASSES constants).
    • memberSince - A Date representing the date and time the user created their account.
    • onlineSince - A Date representing the date and time the user logged on.
    • idleMins - An Integer containing the number of minutes the user has been marked as idle. Note: the client actually tells AOL when to start and stop counting idle time, so this value could be unreliable.
    • flags - A bit field containing various flags for the user (see the USER_FLAGS constants).
    • status - A bit field containing the user's current status (see the USER_STATUSES constants).
    • IP - A String containing the user's IP address.
    • capabilities - An Array of Arrays that indicates what the user's client is capable of (see the CAPABILITIES constants).
    • instanceNum - An Integer that indicates which instance of the user this is. This is filled in if the user's client is allowing simultaneous log-ons and they are currently logged on more than once.
    • profileSetOn - A Date representing the date and time the user set their current profile.
    • awaySetOn - A Date representing the date and time the user set themselves as away.
    • countryCode - A String of length 2 indicating the user's country of origin.
    • statusMsg - A String representing the user's custom status message.
    • mood - A String containing a short extended status message for ICQ users.

OscarConnection Events

  • warn(Integer, Integer[, String, Integer]) - Fires when another user warns you. The first argument is your old warning level and the second is your new warning level. If the third and fourth arguments are supplied, then it was a non-anonymous warning, in which case the third and fourth arguments are the user name and user warning level respectively.
