PowerPath API: TimeBack PowerPath 100 API
All endpoints require authentication using the Authorization: Bearer header.
The token can be obtained with:
```
curl -X POST https://alpha-auth-production-idp.auth.us-west-2.amazoncognito.com/oauth2/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=
Use the correct IDP server depending on the environment you're using:
- Production Server:
https://alpha-auth-production-idp.auth.us-west-2.amazoncognito.com
- Staging Server:
https://alpha-auth-development-idp.auth.us-west-2.amazoncognito.com
Reach out to the platform team to get a client/secret pair for your application.
Our API uses offset pagination for list endpoints. Paginated responses include the following fields:
- offset: Offset for the next page of resultslimit
- : Number of items per page (default: 100)
Example request:
``
GET /ims/oneroster/rostering/v1p2/users?offset=20&limit=20
All listing endpoints support offset pagination.
All listing endpoints support filtering using the filter query parameter, following 1EdTech's filtering specification.
The filter should be a string with the following format:
``
?filter=[field][operator][value]
Example request:
``
GET /ims/oneroster/rostering/v1p2/users?filter=status='active'
Example request with multiple filters:
``
GET /ims/oneroster/rostering/v1p2/users?filter=status='active' AND name='John'
Filtering by nested relations is not supported.
All listing endpoints support sorting using the sort and orderBy query parameters, following 1EdTech's sorting specification
Example request:
``
GET /ims/oneroster/rostering/v1p2/users?sort=lastName&orderBy=asc

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 { PowerPath } from "@superbuilders/powerpath";const powerPath = new PowerPath({
security: {
clientID: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_ID"] ?? "",
clientSecret: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_SECRET"] ?? "",
},
});
async function run() {
const result = await powerPath.powerPathPlacement.getAllPlacementTests({
student: "",
subject: "",
}, {
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 { PowerPath } from "@superbuilders/powerpath";const powerPath = new PowerPath({
retryConfig: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
security: {
clientID: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_ID"] ?? "",
clientSecret: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_SECRET"] ?? "",
},
});
async function run() {
const result = await powerPath.powerPathPlacement.getAllPlacementTests({
student: "",
subject: "",
});
console.log(result);
}
run();
`
Error Handling
PowerPathError 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. |$3
`typescript
import { PowerPath } from "@superbuilders/powerpath";
import * as errors from "@superbuilders/powerpath/models/errors";const powerPath = new PowerPath({
security: {
clientID: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_ID"] ?? "",
clientSecret: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_SECRET"] ?? "",
},
});
async function run() {
try {
const result = await powerPath.powerPathPlacement.getAllPlacementTests({
student: "",
subject: "",
});
console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
// The base class for HTTP error responses
if (error instanceof errors.PowerPathError) {
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
console.log(error.headers);
// Depending on the method different errors may be thrown
if (error instanceof errors.BadRequestResponseError) {
console.log(error.data$.imsxCodeMajor); // string
console.log(error.data$.imsxSeverity); // string
console.log(error.data$.imsxDescription); // string
console.log(error.data$.imsxCodeMinor); // errors.BadRequestResponseImsxCodeMinor
console.log(error.data$.imsxErrorDetails); // { [k: string]: string }[]
}
}
}
}
run();

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 { PowerPath } from "@superbuilders/powerpath";const powerPath = new PowerPath({
serverURL: "https://api.alpha-1edtech.com",
security: {
clientID: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_ID"] ?? "",
clientSecret: process.env["POWERPATH_CLIENT_SECRET"] ?? "",
},
});
async function run() {
const result = await powerPath.powerPathPlacement.getAllPlacementTests({
student: "",
subject: "",
});
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 { PowerPath } from "@superbuilders/powerpath";
import { HTTPClient } from "@superbuilders/powerpath/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 PowerPath({ httpClient });
`
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 { PowerPath } from "@superbuilders/powerpath";const sdk = new PowerPath({ debugLogger: console });
`You can also enable a default debug logger by setting an environment variable
POWERPATH_DEBUG` to true.This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage
to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally
looking for the latest version.
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation.
We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
