:comet: Node.js library to access IBM Watson services.

What it solves

This SDK provides a standardized way for Node.js developers to integrate IBM Watson AI services into their applications. It simplifies the process of making network requests to Watson's various AI APIs, handling authentication, and managing responses.

How it works

The library acts as a client-side wrapper around IBM Watson's REST APIs. It provides dedicated classes for different Watson services (like Assistant and Discovery), using Promises for asynchronous network calls. It includes built-in support for multiple authentication schemes, including IAM tokens, username/password, and specific authenticators for Cloud Pak for Data (ICP) and third-party cloud providers (MCSP).

Who it’s for

Node.js developers who want to build applications using IBM Watson's AI capabilities, such as conversational AI (Assistant) and data analysis (Discovery).

Highlights

  • Multi-service support: Integrates multiple Watson AI services within a single SDK.
  • Flexible Authentication: Supports IAM, Basic auth, Cloud Pak for Data, and MCSP authentication.
  • ** uma a credentials file**: Can automatically read credentials from an ibm-credentials.env file to simplify setup.
  • Browser Compatibility: Works with most bundlers for client-side usage.
  • Advanced Network Control: Allows full configuration of the HTTPS Agent for corporate proxies, custom certificates, and SSL verification settings.
