Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:
`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";

const codatBankFeeds = new CodatBankFeeds({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});

async function run() {
const result = await codatBankFeeds.companies.create({
name: "Technicalium",
}, {
retries: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
});

console.log(result);
}

run();

`

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:
`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";

const codatBankFeeds = new CodatBankFeeds({
retryConfig: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});

async function run() {
const result = await codatBankFeeds.companies.create({
name: "Technicalium",
});

console.log(result);
}

run();

`





Error Handling

CodatBankFeedsError is the base class for all HTTP error responses. It has the following properties:

| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| error.message | string | Error message |
| error.statusCode | number | HTTP response status code eg 404 |
| error.headers | Headers | HTTP response headers |
| error.body | string | HTTP body. Can be empty string if no body is returned. |
| error.rawResponse | Response | Raw HTTP response |
| error.data$ | | Optional. Some errors may contain structured data. See Error Classes. |

`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";
import * as errors from "@codat/bank-feeds/sdk/models/errors";

const codatBankFeeds = new CodatBankFeeds({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});

async function run() {
try {
const result = await codatBankFeeds.companies.create({
name: "Technicalium",
});

console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
// The base class for HTTP error responses
if (error instanceof errors.CodatBankFeedsError) {
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
console.log(error.headers);

// Depending on the method different errors may be thrown
if (error instanceof errors.ErrorMessage) {
console.log(error.data$.statusCode); // number
console.log(error.data$.service); // string
console.log(error.data$.error); // string
console.log(error.data$.correlationId); // string
console.log(error.data$.validation); // shared.ErrorValidation
}
}
}
}

run();

Primary errors:
* CodatBankFeedsError: The base class for HTTP error responses.
* ErrorMessage: The request made is not valid.

Less common errors (6)

Network errors:
* ConnectionError: HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server.
* RequestTimeoutError: HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal.
* RequestAbortedError: HTTP request was aborted by the client.
* InvalidRequestError: Any input used to create a request is invalid.
* UnexpectedClientError: Unrecognised or unexpected error.


Inherit from CodatBankFeedsError:
* ResponseValidationError: Type mismatch between the data returned from the server and the structure expected by the SDK. See error.rawValue for the raw value and error.pretty() for a nicely formatted multi-line string.

Server Selection

$3

The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";

const codatBankFeeds = new CodatBankFeeds({
serverURL: "https://api.codat.io",
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});

async function run() {
const result = await codatBankFeeds.companies.create({
name: "Technicalium",
});

console.log(result);
}

run();

`





Custom HTTP Client

The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient that wraps the native
Fetch API. This
client is a thin wrapper around fetch and provides the ability to attach hooks
around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle
errors and response.

The HTTPClient constructor takes an optional fetcher argument that can be
used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out
the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.

The following example shows how to use the "beforeRequest" hook to to add a
custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError" hook
to log errors:

`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";
import { HTTPClient } from "@codat/bank-feeds/lib/http";

const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
// fetcher takes a function that has the same signature as native fetch.
fetcher: (request) => {
return fetch(request);
}
});

httpClient.addHook("beforeRequest", (request) => {
const nextRequest = new Request(request, {
signal: request.signal || AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
});

nextRequest.headers.set("x-custom-header", "custom value");

return nextRequest;
});

httpClient.addHook("requestError", (error, request) => {
console.group("Request Error");
console.log("Reason:", ${error});
console.log("Endpoint:", ${request.method} ${request.url});
console.groupEnd();
});

const sdk = new CodatBankFeeds({ httpClient: httpClient });
`





Authentication

$3

This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:

| Name | Type | Scheme |
| ------------ | ------ | ------- |
| authHeader | apiKey | API key |

To authenticate with the API the authHeader parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";

const codatBankFeeds = new CodatBankFeeds({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});

async function run() {
const result = await codatBankFeeds.companies.create({
name: "Technicalium",
});

console.log(result);
}

run();

`





Requirements

For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.





Standalone functions

All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These
functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless
runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary
concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused
functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.

To read more about standalone functions, check FUNCTIONS.md.

File uploads

Certain SDK methods accept files as part of a multi-part request. It is possible and typically recommended to upload files as a stream rather than reading the entire contents into memory. This avoids excessive memory consumption and potentially crashing with out-of-memory errors when working with very large files. The following example demonstrates how to attach a file stream to a request.

> [!TIP]
>
> Depending on your JavaScript runtime, there are convenient utilities that return a handle to a file without reading the entire contents into memory:
>
> - Node.js v20+: Since v20, Node.js comes with a native openAsBlob function in node:fs.
> - Bun: The native Bun.file function produces a file handle that can be used for streaming file uploads.
> - Browsers: All supported browsers return an instance to a File when reading the value from an element.
> - Node.js v18: A file stream can be created using the fileFrom helper from fetch-blob/from.js.

`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";
import { openAsBlob } from "node:fs";

const codatBankFeeds = new CodatBankFeeds({
authHeader: "Basic BASE_64_ENCODED(API_KEY)",
});

async function run() {
const result = await codatBankFeeds.sourceAccounts.generateCredentials({
companyId: "8a210b68-6988-11ed-a1eb-0242ac120002",
connectionId: "2e9d2c44-f675-40ba-8049-353bfcb5e171",
requestBody: await openAsBlob("example.file"),
});

console.log(result);
}

run();

`





Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass a logger that matches console's interface as an SDK option.

> [!WARNING]
> Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. It's recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.

`typescript
import { CodatBankFeeds } from "@codat/bank-feeds";

const sdk = new CodatBankFeeds({ debugLogger: console });
