In this case, the result of your insight request is posted to the callback URL as a webhook. For more details on webhooks see the Number Insight Advanced documentation.

There are two ways of generating a JWT. You can use the function that exists on the Nexmo definition:
const Nexmo = require('nexmo');
const jwt = Nexmo.generateJwt('path/to/private.key', {application_id: APP_ID});
Or via a Nexmo
instance where your supplied applicationId
and privateKey
credentials will be used:
const Nexmo = require('nexmo');
const nexmo = new Nexmo({
apiKey: API_KEY,
apiSecret: API_SECRET,
applicationId: APP_ID,
privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
});
const jwt = nexmo.generateJwt();
nexmo.voice.sendTTSMessage(<TO_NUMBER>,message,options,callback);
nexmo.sendTTSPromptWithCapture(<TO_NUMBER>,message,<MAX_DIGITS>, <BYE_TEXT>,options,callback);
nexmo.voice.sendTTSPromptWithConfirm(<TO_NUMBER>, message ,<MAX_DIGITS>,'<PIN_CODE>',<BYE_TEXT>,<FAILED_TEXT>,options,callback);
Run:
npm test
Or to continually watch and run tests as you change the code:
npm run-script test-watch
See examples/README.md.
Also, see the Nexmo Node Quickstarts repo.
This section uses internal APIs and should not be relied on. We make no guarantees that the interface is stable. Relying on these methods is not recommended for production applications
For endpoints that are not yet implemented, you can use the Nexmo HTTP Client to make requests with the correct authentication method.
In these examples, we assume that you've created a nexmo
instance as follows:
const nexmo = new Nexmo({
apiKey: 'API_KEY',
apiSecret: 'API_SECRET',
applicationId: 'APPLICATION_ID',
privateKey: './private.key',
});
- If your API endpoint is on
api.nexmo.com
, use thenexmo.options.api
object. - If your API endpoint is on
rest.nexmo.com
, use thenexmo.options.rest
object.
Both of these objects expose the following methods:
get(path, params, callback, useJwt)
(params
is the query string to use)post(path, params, callback, useJwt)
(params
is the POST body to send)postUseQueryString(path, params, callback, useJwt)
(params
is the query string to use)delete(path, callback, useJwt)
To make a request to api.nexmo.com/v1/calls?status=rejected
:
nexmo.options.api.get(
"/v1/calls",
{"status": "rejected"},
function(err, data){
console.log(err);
console.log(data);
},
true // Use JWT for authentication
);
To make a request to rest.nexmo.com/sms/json?from=Demo&to=447700900000&text=Testing
:
nexmo.options.rest.postUseQueryString(
"/sms/json",
{"from": "Demo", "to": "447700900000", "text": "Testing"},
function(err, data){
console.log(err);
console.log(data);
},
false // Don't use JWT, fall back to API key/secret
);
