🔬 Installation

Before getting started, you must add the dependency to your project. Below you can find the dependency for both Maven and Gradle.

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>me.braydon</groupId>
  <artifactId>Pelican4J</artifactId>
  <version>VERSION</version>
</dependency>

Gradle (Kotlin DSL)

implementation("me.braydon:Pelican4J:VERSION")

🏃‍♂️ Getting Started

Below is an example on how to create a client for Pelican (Ptero is also supported), and send an action to the panel.

Pelican4J<PelicanPanelActions> client = Pelican4J.forPelican(ClientConfig.builder()
        .panelUrl("https://pelican.app")
        .apiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
        .build()); // Create a new Pelican client

// Queuing an action - this will get the node with the ID of 1, and print it's name.
ApplicationNodeActions nodeActions = client.actions().application().nodes();
nodeActions.getDetails(1).queue(node -> {
    System.out.println("Name of node: " + node.getName());
});

// Instantly sending an action
Node node = nodeActions.getDetails(1).execute();
System.out.println("Name of node: " + node.getName());

🔨 Panel Actions

Every action that is executed on the panel will return a PanelAction, this action has several different functions:

• queue(callback) - This will allow you to queue an action, and await its response asynchronously.
• execute() - This will immediately execute the action synchronously, and return the result.

⌛ Rate Limiting

When an action is being queued, it will try to immediately execute the action, and if a rate limit is hit, that action will be queued to be re-tried later once the rate limit has been lifted. If the action is re-tried more than 25 Times, it will respond with an error.

⚠️ Error Handling

When an error is raised by the panel API, an PanelAPIException exception will be thrown.

When queuing an action, errors are automatically handled and are printed to the terminal. To handle the error yourself, you can modify the callback function to contain both the response, and the exception:

ApplicationNodeActions nodeActions = client.actions().application().nodes();
nodeActions.getDetails(1).queue((node, ex) -> {
    if (ex != null) {
        // Handle the error...
        return;
    }
    // ...
});
