Then, import SAPI into your project:

import sapi from '@findhotel/sapi'

Create SAPI client:

const profileKey = 'profile-key'

const options = {
  anonymousId: 'fd9dbb5f-b337-4dd7-b640-1f177d1d3caa',
  language: 'en',
  currency: 'USD',

}

const sapiClient = await sapi(profileKey, options)

Now SAPI client is ready to be used in your application.
