npm install @mergeapi/merge-node-client
The Merge Node.js library provides access to the Merge API from JavaScript/TypeScript.
API reference documentation is available here.
```
npm install --save @mergeapi/merge-node-clientor
yarn add @mergeapi/merge-node-client
`typescript
import { MergeClient } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
`
This SDK contains the ATS, HRIS, CRM, Ticketing, Accounting, and File Storage categories. Even if you do not plan on using more than one Merge API category right now, the SDK provides upgrade-flexibility in case you find new Merge API categories useful in the future.
Each category is namespaced:
`typescript
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
merge.ats. // APIs specific to the ATS Category
merge.hris. // APIs specific to the HRIS Category
`
Below are code snippets of how you can use the Node SDK.
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
// accountToken may be omitted if necessary (e.g., during the initial Link session)
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
const linkTokenResponse = await merge.ats.linkToken.create({
endUserEmailAddress: "john.smith@gmail.com",
endUserOrganizationName: "acme",
endUserOriginId: "1234",
categories: [Merge.ats.CategoriesEnum.Ats],
linkExpiryMins: 30,
});
console.log("Created link token", linkTokenResponse.linkToken)
`
`ts
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});
const accountTokenResponse = await merge.ats.accountToken.retrieve(publicToken)
console.log("Retrieved account token", accountTokenResponse.accountToken)
`
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
employee = await merge.hris.employees.retrieve("0958cbc6-6040-430a-848e-aafacbadf4ae")
`
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
candidate = await merge.ats.candidates.retrieve(
"521b18c2-4d01-4297-b451-19858d07c133"
)
`
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
const candidatesResponse = await merge.ats.candidates.list({
createdAfter: "2030-01-01"
})
console.log(candidatesResponse.results)
`
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
contact = await merge.accounting.contacts.retrieve(
"c640b80b-fac9-409f-aa19-1f9221aec445"
)
`
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge, TicketStatusEnum } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
await merge.ticketing.tickets.create({
model: {
name: "Please add more integrations",
assignees: ["17a54124-287f-494d-965e-3c5b330c9a68"],
creator: "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6",
dueDate: "2022-10-11T00:00:00Z",
status: TicketStatusEnum.Open,
},
})
`
`typescript
import { MergeClient, Merge } from '@mergeapi/merge-node-client';
import * as fs from 'fs/promises';
const merge = new MergeClient({
apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
accountToken: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN',
});
const listResponse = await merge.filestorage.files.list({
name: "
})
const file = response.results[0]
const localFilepath =
const response = await merge.filestorage.files.downloadRetrieve(file.id)
const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(localFilepath);
await stream.pipeline(response, fileStream);
`
The SDK may return paginated results. Endpoints that return paginated results will
include a next and prev property on the response. To get the next page, you can next
pass in the value of to the cursor property on the request. Similarly, to prev
get the previous page, you can pass in the value of to the cursor property on
the request.
Below is an example of iterating over all pages:
`typescript
// response contains the first page
let response = merge.hris.employees.list({
createdAfter: "2030-01-01",
})
// if there is a next page, load it by passing next to the cursor argument``
while (response.next != null) {
response = merge.hris.employees.list({
cursor: response.next,
createdAfter: "2030-01-01",
})
}
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Additions made directly
to this library would have to be moved over to our generation code, otherwise they would be overwritten upon the next
generated release. Feel free to open a PR as a proof of concept, but know that we will not be able to merge it as-is.
We suggest opening an issue first to discuss with us!
On the other hand, contributions to the README are always very welcome!
