AvaCloud SDK TypeScript
The AvaCloud SDK is a powerful and flexible toolset designed to simplify the integration with AvaCloud's suite of blockchain services. Currently, this SDK is focused on providing robust support for Data APIs.
SDK Installation
The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.
NPM
npm add @avalabs/avacloud-sdk
PNPM
pnpm add @avalabs/avacloud-sdk
Bun
bun add @avalabs/avacloud-sdk
Yarn
yarn add @avalabs/avacloud-sdk zod
Requirements
For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.
SDK Example Usage
Example
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
const result = await avaCloudSDK.metrics.healthCheck.metricsHealthCheck();
console.log(result);
}
run();
Available Resources and Operations
Available methods
- listChains - Get a list of supported blockchains
- getChain - Get chain information for supported blockchain
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.
Available standalone functions
Global Parameters
Certain parameters are configured globally. These parameters may be set on the SDK client instance itself during initialization. When configured as an option during SDK initialization, These global values will be used as defaults on the operations that use them. When such operations are called, there is a place in each to override the global value, if needed.
For example, you can set chainId
to "43114"
at SDK initialization and then you do not have to pass the same value on calls to operations like listChains
. But if you want to do so you may, which will locally override the global setting. See the example code below for a demonstration.
Available Globals
The following global parameters are available.
Name | Type | Description |
---|
chainId | string | A supported EVM chain id, chain alias, or blockchain id. |
network | components.GlobalParamNetwork | A supported network type mainnet or testnet/fuji. |
Example
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
const result = await avaCloudSDK.metrics.evm.chains.listChains({
network: "mainnet",
});
for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}
run();
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you
make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned response object will also be an
async iterable that can be consumed using the for await...of
syntax.
Here's an example of one such pagination call:
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
const result = await avaCloudSDK.metrics.evm.chains.listChains({
network: "mainnet",
});
for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}
run();
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:
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
const result = await avaCloudSDK.metrics.healthCheck.metricsHealthCheck({
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:
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
retryConfig: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
const result = await avaCloudSDK.metrics.healthCheck.metricsHealthCheck();
console.log(result);
}
run();
Error Handling
All SDK methods return a response object or throw an error. By default, an API error will throw a errors.SDKError
.
If a HTTP request fails, an operation my also throw an error from the models/errors/httpclienterrors.ts
module:
HTTP Client Error | Description |
---|
RequestAbortedError | HTTP request was aborted by the client |
RequestTimeoutError | HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal |
ConnectionError | HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server |
InvalidRequestError | Any input used to create a request is invalid |
UnexpectedClientError | Unrecognised or unexpected error |
In addition, when custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may throw their associated Error type. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible error types for each operation. For example, the reindexNft
method may throw the following errors:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|
errors.BadRequest | 400 | application/json |
errors.Unauthorized | 401 | application/json |
errors.Forbidden | 403 | application/json |
errors.NotFound | 404 | application/json |
errors.TooManyRequests | 429 | application/json |
errors.InternalServerError | 500 | application/json |
errors.BadGateway | 502 | application/json |
errors.ServiceUnavailable | 503 | application/json |
errors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
import {
BadGateway,
BadRequest,
Forbidden,
InternalServerError,
NotFound,
SDKValidationError,
ServiceUnavailable,
TooManyRequests,
Unauthorized,
} from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk/models/errors";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
try {
await avaCloudSDK.data.nfts.reindexNft({
address: "0xB97EF9Ef8734C71904D8002F8b6Bc66Dd9c48a6E",
tokenId: "145",
});
} catch (err) {
switch (true) {
case (err instanceof SDKValidationError): {
console.error(err.pretty());
console.error(err.rawValue);
return;
}
case (err instanceof BadRequest): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof Unauthorized): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof Forbidden): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof NotFound): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof TooManyRequests): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof InternalServerError): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof BadGateway): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
case (err instanceof ServiceUnavailable): {
console.error(err);
return;
}
default: {
throw err;
}
}
}
}
run();
Validation errors can also occur when either method arguments or data returned from the server do not match the expected format. The SDKValidationError
that is thrown as a result will capture the raw value that failed validation in an attribute called rawValue
. Additionally, a pretty()
method is available on this error that can be used to log a nicely formatted string since validation errors can list many issues and the plain error string may be difficult read when debugging.
Server Selection
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:
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
import { HTTPClient } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk/lib/http";
const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
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 AvaCloudSDK({ httpClient });
Authentication
Per-Client Security Schemes
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme |
---|
apiKey | apiKey | API key |
To authenticate with the API the apiKey
parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const avaCloudSDK = new AvaCloudSDK({
apiKey: "<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
chainId: "43114",
network: "mainnet",
});
async function run() {
const result = await avaCloudSDK.metrics.healthCheck.metricsHealthCheck();
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.
import { AvaCloudSDK } from "@avalabs/avacloud-sdk";
const sdk = new AvaCloudSDK({ debugLogger: console });
Summary
Data API: The Data API provides web3 application developers with multi-chain data related to Avalanche's primary network, Avalanche subnets, and Ethereum. With Data API, you can easily build products that leverage real-time and historical transaction and transfer history, native and token balances, and various types of token metadata. The API is in Beta and may be subject to change.
If you have feedback or feature requests for the API, please submit them here. Bug reports can be submitted here, and any potential security issues can be reported here.

Verify Webhook Signature
The isValidSignature function is a utility function in the Avalanche SDK that verifies the authenticity and integrity of incoming webhook requests from AvaCloud. This function ensures that the requests are coming from a trusted source by validating the HMAC SHA-256 signature provided in the request header.Usage
Import and use the isValidSignature
function:
import { isValidSignature } from '@avalabs/avacloud-sdk/utils';
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
const signingSecret = 'your-signing-secret';
app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-signature'];
const payload = req.body;
if (isValidSignature(signingSecret, signature, payload)) {
console.log('Valid signature');
} else {
console.log('Invalid signature');
}
res.json({ received: true });
});
app.listen(8000, () => console.log('Server running on port 8000'));
Parameters
signingSecret
: The secret key for signing.signature
: The HMAC SHA-256 signature from the request header.payload
: The JSON payload of the request.
More Information
Use this function to securely validate webhooks from AvaCloud.

Development
Maturity
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.
Contributions
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.
