CircleCi API Client

A Node and Browser client for the CircleCI API, written in TypeScript.

  

  !npm bundle size !License


API wrapper for CircleCi API, usable in node and the browser. If used in a TypeScript project, you will get types, and auto-complete for all of the api responses. You will no longer need to tab back and fourth to the API documentation.

I recommend using this library if you are writing a tool or website in TypeScript. I have created definitions for each of the CircleCI endpoints. There may still be some errors, but I am open to contributions on making them better.

If there are any features you would like, please feel free to open up an issue.

Notes

$3

I did my best to correctly add types for all of the supported endpoints. However if you notice an incorrect payload type, or some missing properties, please open up an issue, or submit a pull request.

$3

CircleCI is going to be rolling out a new version of their api (see here). Currently this library does not support v2, but I will update it in the future, see #228 for updates.

Migrating from v3 to v4

There have been some breaking changes, please see MIGRATING.md for more info.

Installation

Add using yarn or npm

``bash
yarn add circleci-api

or

npm install circleci-api
`

Usage

Get your API token from CircleCi

There are two ways to use this library.

1. CircleCi class

Get instance of the factory.

`typescript
// Module
import { CircleCI, GitType, CircleCIOptions } from "circleci-api";

// Configure the factory with some defaults
const options: CircleCIOptions = {
// Required for all requests
token: "", // Set your CircleCi API token

// Optional
// Anything set here can be overriden when making the request

// Git information is required for project/build/etc endpoints
vcs: {
type: GitType.GITHUB, // default: github
owner: "worldturtlemedia",
repo: "circleci-api"
}

// Optional query params for requests
options: {
branch: "master", // default: master
filter: "completed"
}
}

// Create the api object
const api = new CircleCI(options)

// Use the api

/**
* Grab the latest artifacts from a successful build on a certain branch
* @param [branch="master"] - Artifacts for certain branch
* @return List of successfully built artifact objects
*/
export async function getLatestArtifacts(branch: string = "master"): Promise {
try {
// Will use the repo defined in the options above
const result: Aritfact[] = await api.latestArtifacts({ branch, filter: "successful" })
console.log(Found ${result.length} artifacts)
return result
} catch (error) {
console.log("No build artifacts found")
}

return []
}

getLatestArtifacts("develop")
.then(artifacts => {
artifacts
.forEach(({ path, url }: Artifact) => console.log(${path} -> ${url}))
})

// Or override settings set above
api
.latestArtifacts(
{ branch: "develop" },
{
vcs: { repo: "awesome-repo" },
options: { filter: "successful" }
}
)
.then((artifacts: Artifact[]) => console.log(Found ${artifacts.length} artifacts))
.catch(error => console.error(error))
`

2. Manually

The individual functions can also be imported if you only need one or two. To help with tree-shaking.

`typescript
import { getMe, getLatestArtifacts } from "circleci-api";

const CIRCLECI_TOKEN: string = "circle-ci-token";

getMe(CIRCLECI_TOKEN)
.then(me => console.log("token is valid"))
.catch(error => console.error("invalid token"));

getLatestArtifacts(CIRCLECI_TOKEN, {
vcs: {
owner: "billyBob",
repo: "super-cool-app"
},
options: {
filter: "failed",
branch: "feature-smith2"
}
})
.then(result => console.log(Found ${result.length} artifacts))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
`

Self-hosted CircleCI

To override the default API base url https://circleci.com/api/v1.1, you can pass a circleHost to the CircleCI constructor, or to the standalone functions.

`typescript
// Using the CircleCi class
new CircleCI({
token: "my-token",
vcs: { owner: "worldturtlemedia", repo = "circleci-api" },
circleHost: "https://my-selfhosted-circleci.com/"
}).getLatestArtifacts()

// Using the standalone functions
getLatestArtifacts("my-token", {
...
circleHost: "https://my-selfhosted-circleci.com/"
})
`

While all of the standalone functions support a custom circleHost property. Using the CircleCI class you _must_ specify it in the constructor.

Demo

There are three similar demos are available in the demo folder.

Note: I recommend VSCode for viewing and editing the examples. It will give you great intellisense about the library.

For the TypeScript & JavaScript follow the steps below:

`bash


Step 1 - Change into demo folder and install dependencies

cd demo
yarn

Javascript example:

node ./index.js

Typescript example:

npx ts-node --project ../tsconfig.base.json ./index.ts

To view Browser example, first build project

yarn build

Then open index.html in your browser

Supported endpoints

Using factory:

Optional properties:

`typescript
export interface CircleRequest {
token?: string;
vcs?: GitInfo;
options?: Options;
}
`

Any function with an _optional_ paramater of CircleRequest can override any of the values you assigned when using the circleci() factory.

| Name | Required | Optional | Returns |
| --------------------- | :-------------------------: | :---------------------------------: | --------------------------: |
| me() | none | none | Me |
| projects() | none | CircleRequest | Project[] |
| followProject() | { vcs: GitInfo } | none | FollowNewResult |
| recentBuilds() | none | { limit: number, offset: number } | BuildSummary[] |
| builds() | none | { limit: number, offset: number } | BuildSummary[] |
| buildsFor() | branch: string = "master" | { limit: number, offset: number } | BuildSummary[] |
| build() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | BuildWithSteps |
| artifacts() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | Artifact[] |
| latestArtifacts() | none | CircleRequest | Artifact[] |
| retry() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | BuildSummary |
| cancel() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | BuildSummary |
| triggerBuild() | none | CircleRequest | Build |
| triggerBuildFor() | branch: string = "master" | CircleRequest | Build |
| clearCache() | none | CircleRequest | ClearCacheResponse |
| listEnvVars() | none | CircleRequest | EnvVariable[] |
| addEnvVar() | variable: EnvVariable | CircleRequest | EnvVariable |
| getEnvVar() | envName: string | CircleRequest | EnvVariable |
| deleteEnvVar() | envName: string | CircleRequest | MessageResponse |
| checkoutKeys() | none | CircleRequest | CheckoutKeyResponse |
| createCheckoutKey() | type: CheckoutType | CircleRequest | CheckoutKeyResponse |
| checkoutKey() | fingerprint: string | CircleRequest | CheckoutKeyResponse |
| deleteCheckoutKey() | fingerprint: string | CircleRequest | DeleteCheckoutKeyResponse |
| getTestMetadata() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | TestMetadataResponse |
| addSSHKey() | key: SSHKey | CircleRequest | none |
| addHerokuKey() | key: HerokuKey | CircleRequest | none |

Missing endpoint

The last remaining endpoint probably won't be added unless there is demand.
