dialog-data-usage

A module to measure and monitor your Dialog 4G/LTE data usage

Installation

npm install dialog-data-usage --save

Notes

I don't know if this is legal or not (since I'm using some of their internal APIs), but I hope no harm will come out with me releasing this module. Please don't sue me Dialog (^^").

Usage

var dialog = require('dialog-data-usage').create({
  connectionNumber: 114123456,
  type: 'LTE', // LTE, prepaid
  interval: 5000, // milliseconds
  limit: 80 // %
});

dialog.getDataUsage(function(error, data){
  if(error) throw error;
  console.log(data);
});

API

getDataUsage(error, data)

Responds with the current data usage of your connections, along with the packages. You can use pretty-bytes to convert the bytes into human-readable strings.

dialog.getDataUsage(function(error, data){
  if(error) throw error;
  console.log(data);
});

getDataUsageHistory(error, data)

Responds with your your data sessions over a certain time period.

Note: This doesn't seem to work anymore because they've patched their API, and actually started verifying data it receives. It now needs your IMSI (globally-unique code number that identifies a GSM subscriber to the network).

dialog.getDataUsageHistory(function(error, data){
  if(error) throw error;
  console.log(data);
});

listen() [ALPHA]

Polls the API and emits events. Currently emits 'update', 'limit', and 'finished'. Just note that this is a random feature I decided to add and is currently buggy (because there probably is a better way to do this).

dialog.listen();

var iteration = 0;
dialog.once('update', function(info){
  // Clears the screen.
  process.stdout.write('\033c');
  console.log('Iteration:', iteration++);
  console.log(
    'Package Name:',
    info.packageName
  );
  console.log(
    'Used:',
    bytes(info.usedQuota),
    'Remaining:',
    bytes(info.balanceQuota)
  );
});

listen.once('limit', function(info){
  console.log(info.packageName, 'package is almost over.');
});

listen.once('finished', function(info){
  console.log(info.packageName, 'package is over.');
});
