SDK Reference

Introduction

Welcome to the SDK reference documentation. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of our Software Development Kits (SDKs) and how to integrate them into your applications. We aim to make interacting with our services as seamless as possible.

Our SDKs are designed to abstract away the complexities of direct API calls, offering a developer-friendly interface with support for popular programming languages.

Getting Started

Before you begin, ensure you have the necessary prerequisites:

Installation

To install the SDK, please refer to the specific instructions for your chosen language:

Node.js Example

npm install your-sdk-name

Python Example

pip install your-sdk-name

Basic Usage

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to initialize the SDK and make your first call:

JavaScript Example


import { Client } from 'your-sdk-name';

const client = new Client({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com'
});

async function getUsers() {
  try {
    const users = await client.users.list();
    console.log('Users:', users);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching users:', error);
  }
}

getUsers();

Authentication

Authentication is crucial for secure access to our services. We support API key-based authentication.

Your API key should be passed in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.

Example Header

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

When initializing the SDK, you can provide your API key during client instantiation.

Data Models

Understanding the data models used by the SDK is essential for effective data manipulation. Below are common data structures you'll encounter.

User Object

Field Type Description
id string Unique identifier for the user.
name string The full name of the user.
email string The user's email address.
createdAt string (ISO 8601) Timestamp of user creation.

Error Handling

Our SDKs provide robust error handling. API errors are typically returned with standard HTTP status codes and a JSON body containing error details.

Common error types include:

The SDK will throw exceptions or return specific error objects that you can catch and handle.

Error Handling Example (JavaScript)


try {
  // ... some SDK operation
} catch (error) {
  if (error.response && error.response.status === 401) {
    console.error('Authentication failed. Please check your API key.');
  } else {
    console.error('An unexpected error occurred:', error);
  }
}

Users API

List Users

GET /users

Retrieves a list of all users.

Query Parameters

Name Type Required Description
limit integer No Maximum number of users to return.
offset integer No Number of users to skip.

Response

Field Type Description
data array of User Object A list of user objects.
total integer Total number of users available.

Example Usage (Python)


# Assuming 'client' is an initialized SDK client instance
users_data = client.users.list(limit=10)
print(users_data)

Get User by ID

GET /users/{userId}

Retrieves a specific user by their unique ID.

Path Parameters

Name Type Required Description
userId string Yes The ID of the user to retrieve.

Response

Field Type Description
data User Object The requested user object.

Products API

Manage your product catalog with the Products API.

List Products

GET /products

Retrieves a list of all available products.

Orders API

Handle order creation, retrieval, and management.

Create Order

POST /orders

Creates a new order.

Request Body

Field Type Required Description
