Highly unofficial library for programmatic interaction with Krak people search

krax (deprecated)

Deprecation notice: As of June 2018, this library is no longer compatible with the current Krak people search UI. In a recent update, the site itself is now using a simple JSON API with a data representation similar to the one offered by krax and krax-client (example). This change effectively makes krax obsolete, so I currently have no intention to update this library.

Highly unofficial library for programmatic interaction with Krak people search.

It's available on npm.

Uses ES2015 features as well as JSDOM, which also uses ES2015 features. Based on screen scraping of the Krak people search, so it's pretty fragile.

Example usage:

let { Krax } = require('krax')
  , krax = new Krax();

krax.searchByRelevance('john smith', 5).then(results => {
  console.log(results);
});

krax.searchByDistance('john smith', 12.34, -12.34, 5).then(results => {
  console.log(results);
});

Each result is an object of the following form:

{
  rank: number;
  name: string;
  phone: string;
  address: string;
  zip: string;
  city: string;
  place: string;
  title: string;
  email: string;
  lat: number;
  lon: number;
}
