Usage

import { ClubhouseClient } from 'clubhouse-client'

const exampleUserId = '2481724'
const examplePhoneNumber = '+15555555555'
const exampleVerificationCode = '5555'

const clubhouse = new ClubhouseClient()

await clubhouse.startPhoneNumberAuth(examplePhoneNumber)

// NOTE: manually get the SMS verification code

await clubhouse.completePhoneNumberAuth(
  examplePhoneNumber,
  exampleVerificationCode
)

// you should now be authenticated with a userId and authToken
// you can alternatively auth directly via the ClubhouseClient constructor

const me = await clubhouse.getMe()

const profile = await clubhouse.getProfile(exampleUserId)

// get a single page of users that our example user is following
const following = await clubhouse.getFollowing(exampleUserId)

// get a single page of users who are following our example user
const followers = await clubhouse.getFollowers(exampleUserId)

// get all of the users that our example user is following
// (this will attempt to fetch all of the page results)
const allFollowing = await clubhouse.getAllFollowing(exampleUserId)

// get all of the users following our example user
// (this will attempt to fetch all of the page results)
const allFollowers = await clubhouse.getAllFollowers(exampleUserId)

See login.js for a basic Node.js example that logs you in using the Clubhouse API and gives you the environment variables that you'll need (put them in .env) to run the other examples.

See example.js for a basic Node.js example that uses a previously authenticated user.

See crawler.js for a more advanced Node.js app that will crawl the Clubhouse social graph.

Rate Limits

By default, the ClubhouseClient is set to make a maximum of one API call per 3.5 seconds, which empirically gets past most Clubhouse rate limits.

You'll definitely still run into some, and it's up to you how to best handle them. PLEASE DO NOT SPAM THE CLUBHOUSE API.

You can customize the default ClubhouseClient throttling via the throttle parameter which uses p-throttle under the hood.
