new Client(options)
- Source:
Constructor function for the Client base responsible for communicating with Challonge API
createClient takes one argument for configuration and returns an instance of the api client.
You should never need to call new Client(). Instead, call challonge.createClient() and it will create
a new instance and set defaults.
Example
const challonge = require('challonge');
const client = challonge.createClient({
apiKey: '***yourAPIKey***'
});

Sets the subdomain and automatically passes tournament[subdomain] and prefixes the subdomain to tournament urls. If you don't want to pass a subdomain to the constructor, and want to use an organization (or multiple organizations), you must use client.setSubdomain('subdomain') before making api calls. |
