A personal node project to enable webhooks between different services. Conforms the webhooks to the outbound apis. In this early stage only working with Rescuetime and Amazing Marvin.

Clone this repo then run npm run build followed by npm start. (Note: You will need to rebuild the project and update your webhook calls in Amazing Marvin).

Run from the directory of the app using npm start. It will either take a command line argument, an environment variable $PORT or will default to port 80.

If you'd like to specify a port please specify it as an argument npm start #portnum. If you use this method your url will be http://localhost:portnum where portnum is the port you chose. Be aware that using this method will only allow amazing marvin's timers to call rescuetime from the same device you run the server on. You need to host the code remotely in order to run it from a mobile device. Heroku, Google Cloud, Azure, etc are all viable options here.

NOTE: running in local mode may cause issues with safari and the marvin desktop app.

The package has been updated to work seamlessly with heroku. Currently it now supports quick deployment to heroku as well as support for enabling a secure mode. Follow the instructions here to deploy to git.

Please use the command $>heroku config:set SECURE=true to enable secure mode. This will require use of an api key for all future requests. Run npm run cycle-key to generate a new api key and upload the hashed one your heroku app. You will find the api-key generated into the keyfile in the package directory. To enable it for Amazing Marvin, make sure you add the header Automin-API-Key: %keygoeshere% to your header requests for webhooks.

You will need to enable the API strategy. Once you have the server running you will need webhooks for each of the possible timer settings. The following settings can be used as a template. The phrase https://yourUrlHere is where you would paste either localhost if utilizing it locally or the url of the hosted server. You will then need to get your API key from rescuetime here.

The local version has a lot of issues with the desktop version of Amazing Marvin, and the web version in Safari. For now these are considered unsupported platforms when runnng the server locally. Firefox is recommended.

The other major limitation is an api limitation from Rescuetime. Specifically, the api only works on multiples of 5. If you get a timer smaller then five we strongly reccomend leaving it on until your session ends, if only to prevent issues w/ synchronization later.
