Utila API SDK

This SDK provides developers with tools to easily integrate Utila's API services into JavaScript applications. It simplifies authentication and interaction with Utila's APIs.

Features

• Easy authentication with service accounts
• Promise-based API methods for asynchronous operations
• Supports both JavaScript and TypeScript

Installation

Ensure Node.js (v18.x or later) is installed on your machine.

1. Create a Service Account:

   • Visit the Utila Console
   • Ensure you are logged in as an administrator
   • Create a new service account

2. Install the SDK:

   • Open your terminal
   • Execute the following command within your project directory:

npm install @utila/api

Configuration

Set up the SDK using the credentials from your service account:

1. Store your service account's private key file securely within your project
2. Reference the key file correctly in your environment settings or directly in the application code

Usage Example

import { createApiClient, serviceAccountAuthStrategy } from '@utila/api';
import { readFile } from 'fs/promises';

// Configure the API client
// This function initializes the client with a strategy to authenticate using a service account
const client = createApiClient({
  authStrategy: serviceAccountAuthStrategy({
    email: '[email protected]',
    privateKey: () =>
      readFile('path/to/your/private-key.pem', { encoding: 'utf-8' }),
  }),
});

// Define an asynchronous function to fetch balances
async function getBalances() {
  try {
    // Query balance information
    // This method fetches balance details from a specified 'parent' vault
    const { balances } = await client.balances.queryBalances({
      parent: 'vaults/vault_id',
    });
    // Output the fetched balances to the console
    console.log(balances);
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle errors gracefully
    console.error('Failed to fetch balances:', error);
  }
}

// Invoke the function to get balances
getBalances();

The SDK uses the credentials of a service account to authenticate API requests. This involves specifying the email associated with the service account and a function to read the private key file asynchronously.
