Unofficial Payday Node.js Library

The Payday Node.js library provides convenient access to the Payday API from Node.js applications. Most of the code in this library is generated from the Payday API specification

Important note: this library is meant for server-side usage only, as using it in client-side browser code will expose your secret API key.

Installation

npm install payday-node

Usage

To use payday-node API Client, you need to first create an instance of the PaydayApiClient class. You can then use this instance to make requests to the Payday API.

TypeScript:

import { PaydayAPIClient, PaydayAPIClientConfiguration } from 'payday-node';
import { CreateBearerTokenRequest } from 'payday-node/requests';
import { CreateBearerToken200Response } from 'payday-node/responses';

const config: PaydayAPIClientConfiguration = {
    environment: 'production'
};

const payday = new PaydayAPIClient(config);

const request: CreateBearerTokenRequest = {
    clientId: 'your_client_id',
    clientSecret: 'your_client_secret'
};

const response: CreateBearerToken200Response = await payday.createBearerToken(request);
console.log(response.token);

Error handling

API requests can potentially return errors due to invalid inputs or other issues. These errors can be handled with a try...catch statement, and the error details can be found in either error.response or error.message:

try {
  const response = await payday.createBearerToken({
        clientId: 'your_client_id',
        clientSecret: 'your_client_secret'
  });
  console.log(response.token);
} catch (error) {
  if (error.response) {
    console.log(error.response.status);
    console.log(error.response.data);
  } else {
    console.log(error.message);
  }
}
