API reference

wigle.createClient(api_token)

Creates a new Client instance, and logs in to Wigle.net using the given credentials (token). The credentials are transmitted using an https connection.

client.query(parameters, callback)

Sends a query to Wigle.net with the given parameters, and passes the response on to the callback. The responses from Wigle.net are always limited to 100 per request, but an offset can be used to retrieve further results.

The parameters are:

• lat_north northern latitude range (between [-90, 90], max length 14)
• lat_south southern latitude range (between [-90, 90], max length 14)
• lng_east eastern longitude range (between [-180, 180], max length 14)
• lng_west western longitude range (between [-180, 180], max length 14)
• netid BSSID / AP Max Address, expects either just the colon delimited vendor code or a full MAC such as either 0A:2C:EF or 0A:2C:EF:3D:25:1B, max length 14
• ssid network SSID / Network Name
• offset search result offset

After the query is executed, a callback is called with the signature callback(err, result), where err is an Error
