Cleverbot client for node.js

cleverbot.io

Installation

To install this package, simply enter the following in your console

npm i NikoBotDev/cleverbot.io#master

Setup

Before using this module, please get your API keys at http://cleverbot.io/keys

To initialize cleverbot, require the module, then create a new instance of cleverbot

const cleverbot = require('cleverbot.io'),
const bot = new cleverbot('YOUR_API_USER', 'YOUR_API_KEY');

Creating Sessions

cleverbot.io allows you to save cleverbot sessions to access later If you've already created a session previously, simply add the following code to reference it

bot.setNick('nickname');

Or include in the constructor

  const bot = new cleverbot('YOUR_API_USER', 'YOUR_API_KEY', 'NICKNAME');

To create or access a cleverbot session, start with the following

bot.create('nick').then(() => {
    // session is your session name, it will either be as you set it previously, or cleverbot.io will generate one for you
  
    // Woo, you initialized cleverbot.io.  Insert further code here
})

Querying Cleverbot

Now querying cleverbot is simple, you pass the text to the .ask() method

bot.ask('Just a small town girl').then(response => {
    console.log(response); // Will likely be: "Living in a lonely world"
});

Well, that's it for now! Happy hacking!

Cleverbot.io is free and open source, and will remain so.
