Track payment events via NodeJs

When building a product or service that requires your users to pay for something, there are many ways that things can go wrong, such as delayed payments, fraud, or other such issues.

Thus, it is crucial to track these events in real-time and alert you and your team in the event of a problem.

LogSnag lets you track payment events such as User Subscription, User Purchase, User Cancellation, and User Redemption directly from your NodeJs application.

Using NodeJs with Axios

const axios = require('axios');
let data = JSON.stringify({
  "project": "my-saas",
  "channel": "payments",
  "event": "Successful Payment",
  "description": "john@example.com - ($19.99)",
  "icon": "💸",
  "notify": true
});

let config = {
  method: 'post',
  maxBodyLength: Infinity,
  url: 'https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log',
  headers: { 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json', 
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  },
  data : data
};

axios.request(config)
.then((response) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
});

Using NodeJs with Native

var https = require('follow-redirects').https;
var fs = require('fs');

var options = {
  'method': 'POST',
  'hostname': 'api.logsnag.com',
  'path': '/v1/log',
  'headers': {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  },
  'maxRedirects': 20
};

var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
  var chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function (chunk) {
    var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
  });

  res.on("error", function (error) {
    console.error(error);
  });
});

var postData = JSON.stringify({
  "project": "my-saas",
  "channel": "payments",
  "event": "Successful Payment",
  "description": "john@example.com - ($19.99)",
  "icon": "💸",
  "notify": true
});

req.write(postData);

req.end();

Using NodeJs with Request

var request = require('request');
var options = {
  'method': 'POST',
  'url': 'https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log',
  'headers': {

    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "project": "my-saas",
    "channel": "payments",
    "event": "Successful Payment",
    "description": "john@example.com - ($19.99)",
    "icon": "💸",
    "notify": true
  })

};
request(options, function (error, response) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);
  console.log(response.body);
});

Using NodeJs with Unirest

var unirest = require('unirest');
var req = unirest('POST', 'https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log')
  .headers({
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
  })
  .send(JSON.stringify({
    "project": "my-saas",
    "channel": "payments",
    "event": "Successful Payment",
    "description": "john@example.com - ($19.99)",
    "icon": "💸",
    "notify": true
