API

ask(data, callback)

Used to set the query and make a request to Wolfram | Alpha and returns the result in JSON

data

• query - The actual input to be queried to Wolfram | Alpha
• assumption - Applies an assumption to the query.
• translation - Used to set the automatic translation to English. Defaults to false
• reinterpret - Used to reinterpret the query if Wolfram | Alpha does not understand. Defaults to false
• primary - Used to display the closest thing to a simple "answer" that Wolfram|Alpha can provide. Defaults to true

getResults(callback)

Used to get the results for the given query in JSON

getQuery(callback)

Used to return the query that is currently being set

getPod(callback)

Used to return the Pod from the Query Results

Example Usage

You will need an application ID to access the Wolfram | Alpha API. You can get it by signing up on Wolfram | Alpha Developer

var wolfram = require('./').init('APPLICATION_ID');

var data = {
	
	query : 'pi',
	assumption: '*C.pi-_*Movie-'

};

wolfram.ask(data, function(err, results) {
	if(err)
		throw err;

	//Do something interesting with your data
	//or simply display it
	console.log(util.inspect(results, false, null));
});

wolfram.getPod(function(err, results) {
	if(err)
		throw err;

	//Access the Pods here
	console.log(util.inspect(results, false, null));
});

wolfram.getQuery(function(err, query) { 
	if(err)
		throw err;

	//Returns the Query currently being set
	//	{
	//		input: 'pi',
	// 		assumption: '*C.pi-_*Movie-',
	// 		translation: false,
	// 		reinterpret: false,
	// 		primary: true,
	// 		appid: '***********' 
	// 	}
	
});
