npm install @spicygolf/ghinghinâł An unofficial wrapper for the GHIN api
!Downloads
This TypeScript library provides a convenient and easy-to-use API wrapper for accessing the Golfer Handicap Index Network (GHIN) api unofficially. It allows you to interact with GHIN data, retrieve golfer handicaps, scores, and perform various operations related to golf handicaps.
This is a fork of n8io/ghin, originally created by Nate Clark. This fork includes additional features and improvements.
- Retrieve golfer handicap information.
- Calculate course handicaps for golfers.
- Search for golfers by name, ID, or other criteria.
- Access golfer scoring history.
- And more!
To use this library in your TypeScript project, you can install it via npm or bun:
``shell`
npm install @spicygolf/ghinor
bun add @spicygolf/ghin
Here's a quick example of how to use this library:
`typescript
import { GhinClient } from '@spicygolf/ghin'
// Initialize the client
const ghin = new GhinClient({
password: process.env.GHIN_PASSWORD,
username: process.env.GHIN_USERNAME,
})
// Get a golfer's handicap
const ghinNumber = '1234567'
const { handicap_index } = await ghin.handicaps.getOne(ghinNumber)
console.log(Golfer ${ghinNumber} has a handicap of ${handicap_index})``
