Calling components is done using one, or more, "call objects". For simplicity, let's use the "Event.logEvent" component.
{
"app_id": 'test',
"session_id": null,
"call": {
"component": "Event.logEvent",
"parameters": {
"event_name": "test event",
"host": "www.somesite.com"
}
}
}In this example, you can see our call object has two properties, "component" and "parameters". The "component" property tells the API what class and method to call, and the "parameters" property tells it what parameters to use.
The Newgrounds.IO API will let you call up to 10 components in a single post. This can be done by simply putting your call objects into an array:
{
"app_id": 'test',
"session_id": null,
"call": [
{
"component": "Event.logEvent",
"parameters": {
"event_name": "test event",
"host": "www.somesite.com"
}
},{
"component": "Event.logEvent",
"parameters": {
"event_name": "test event 2",
"host": "www.somesite.com"
}
}
]
}In the above example we are logging two events, "test event" and "test event 2". You can mix any variety of events into one call as needed.
In cases like the above, when you want to call the same component multiple times, you can also use a single call object, and put your "parameters" objects into an array. The following example will do the exact thing as the example above:
{
"app_id": 'test',
"session_id": null,
"call": {
"component": "Event.logEvent",
"parameters": [
{
"event_name": "test event",
"host": "www.somesite.com"
},{
"event_name": "test event 2",
"host": "www.somesite.com"
}
]
}
}
