Our new API docs and Node library

I'm excited to announce the release of our rewritten and redesigned API docs at developer.gocardless.com.

We've rethought our documentation to provide more clarity and a better understanding of the core concepts of GoCardless. We've also added more example code for each of our official client libraries.

To help improve our documentation even more we're also making it open source.

New Node library

Swiftly following the joy of fresh, cleanly formatted docs I have the pleasure of introducing our new API library for Node.

Let's cut straight to creating a one off bill:

var url = gocardless.bill.newUrl({
  amount: '10.00',
  name: 'Coffee',
  description: 'One bag of single origin coffee'
});

// Now redirect to `url`

... or perhaps a subscription (we really like our coffee)

var url = gocardless.subscription.newUrl({
  amount: '30.00',
  interval_length: '1',
  interval_unit: 'month',
  name: 'Coffee',
  description: 'Fresh roast coffee subscription'
});

// Now redirect to `url`

Our Node library is currently in beta, so please get in touch if you experience any unexpected behaviour. For more example usage and documentation, please check out the Node library docs.
