iCloud / cloudkit API

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Motivation

This is an API for iCloud services.

API : login

var client = new iCloud();
client.login({
  apple_id : "your_apple_id",
  password : password,
}, function(err) {
  if(err)
    throw "nope";

  client.saveSession("session.json");//for future usage
});

//or
client.loadSessionFile("session.json", function(err) {
  if(err)
    throw "try refreshing your credentials (session has expired)";
});

API : contacts

// Fetch iCloud contacts
client.contact.fetchAll(function(err, contacts){
  //tada
});

API : photo (&videos)

//list icloud photo albums
client.photo.fetchAlbums(function(err, albums){
  //albums are like [{album:title}, {album:title}]
});

// list photo (&video) in an album
client.photo.fetchMedias(album, function(err, medias){
  //medias are like [{photo:title}, {photo:title}]
});


// download something
client.photo.downloadMedia(media, [quality = original], function(err, stream){
  var dest = fs.createWriteStream(photo.title);
  stream.pipe(dest).on("end", function(){
    console.log("TADAAAA");
  });
});

Notes

iCloud use well balanced GUID indexed JSON models for contacts & medias, so this API forward them unmodified (see examples above).

Disclaimer

iCloud is a property of Apple and they might do whatever they want with it, anytime. Use this - unofficial - module accordingly.
