JavaScript Bridge API and BTCA Files

Introduction

The purpose of the JavaScript Bridge API is to allow users to create BTCA files that can request data or perform actions in the Hub.

Important Changes from 2.0

JavaScript Bridge 3.0 brings support to Web App. Some actions have been removed and responses have been modified in order to provide support to all platforms. JavaScript Bridge 2.0 support will be phased out in the future. 

What are BTCA files?

BTCA files are sandboxed HTML5 applications. A regular XMLHttpRequest is not permitted to run when a BTCA file is loaded in the Hub. All requests must make use of the JavaScript Bridge API, see below for usage instructions.

Usage

The recommended method of interacting with the JavaScript Bridge is to include btca-client in your project. You can access the BTCA Client Library on NPM for further installation and usage instructions.


Actions

Below is a list of actions and available parameters. Parameters prefixed with an asterisk (*) are required.

Parameter defaults

Some parameters have a global default. These are not required to be passed when sending an action.

{
  limit:  5,  // Number of results, maximum is 100
  offset: 0   // Offset of results, used for pagination
}

addInterestArea

Add or remove Interest Area assigned to the current user’s account.

removeInterestArea should be set as the action if you wish to remove. id can be retrieved with getInterestAreas.

Parameters

{
  id:       *Integer   // Interest Area id
