This demonstrates how to connect to the bulk server with Node.js. Currently, HTTP and FTP are supported for connections. Unlike FTP, HTTP requires no username just the password (auth token). The apikey and password/auth token are found in the UI: API Keys -> Manage -> Actions -> Access Details. Once you have that you can try the main.js file for an upload demo. For example, using HTTP:

  
    ./main.js -f test.csv -l /tmp -p e261742d-fe2f-4569-95e6-312689d049 --poll 10
  

The CLI is described in more detail with ./main.js

It is recommended to require the operations file and use the functions in there to customize your process. The functions are described in file.
