Omnivore API

Import the Omnivore class and create a new instance with your API Key and Base URL. Then you can use the instance to make requests to the Omnivore API.

import { Omnivore } from '@omnivore-app/api'

const omnivore = new Omnivore({
  apiKey: 'your api key',
  baseUrl: 'https://api-prod.omnivore.app',
})

const items = await omnivore.items.search({
  // ...
})

Error handling

The library will throw an error if the request fails. You can catch the error and handle it as needed.

try {
  const items = await omnivore.items.search({
    // ...
  })
} catch (error: unknown) {
  if (isOmnivoreError(error)) {
    switch (error.code) {
      case OmnivoreErrorCode.GraphQLError:
        // Handle GraphQL error
      case OmnivoreErrorCode.NetworkError:
        // Handle network error
      default:
        // Handle other errors
    }
  }
}

| Option | Default value | Type | Description | | ----------- | --------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | apiKey | undefined | string | API key required for authentication. | | baseUrl | "https://api-prod.omnivore.app" | string | The base URL for sending API requests.
