Methods
getFull(input) → {Promise.<(Object|string)>}
Takes 'input' (which is either a string, or an object of parameters), runs it through
the Wolfram|Alpha Full Results API, and returns a Promise that
either resolves an Object or a string of XML, or rejects if there's an error.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
input |
string|Object
|
string or object of parameters |
Returns:
- Type:
-
Promise.<(Object|string)>
Example
// {success: true, error: false, numpods: 6, datatypes: 'Math', timedout: '', timing: 1.08 ...
waApi.getFull('2+2').then(console.log, console.error);
// "<queryresult success='true' error='false' numpods='7' ...
waApi.getFull({input:'nyc to la', output:'xml'}).then(console.log, console.error);
// { success: false, error: false, numpods: 0, datatypes: '', timedout: '', ...
waApi.getFull('F9TVlu5AmVzL').then(console.log, console.error)
// TypeError: method only receives string or object
waApi.getFull().then(console.log, console.error);getShort(input) → {Promise.<string>}
Takes 'input' (which is either a string, or an object of parameters), runs it through
the Wolfram|Alpha Short Answers API, and returns a Promise that
resolves a string of results, or rejects if there's an error.

// Error: Wolfram|Alpha did not understand your input
waApi.getShort('F9TVlu5AmVzL').then(console.log, console.error);
// TypeError: method only receives string or object
waApi.getShort().then(console.log, console.error);getSimple(input) → {Promise.<DataURI>}
Takes 'input' (which is either a string, or an object of parameters), runs it through
