2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
@findkit/fetch
Advanced tools
Low level read-only API for Findkit indices used by @valu/react-valu-search.
npm install @findkit/fetch
In browsers it uses the native fetch() but in Node.js you must provide it from
node-fetch and set it as global.
import { findkitFetch } from "@findkit/fetch";
// Returns SearchResponse[]
const responses = await findkitFetch({
// See FindkitFetchOptions below for more details
customer: "wikipedia",
terms: "genie",
apiKey: "your-api-key-here", // Contact your Findkit provider for api key
groups: [
{
tagQuery: [],
size: 10,
from: 0,
},
],
});
Each group will add a SearchResponse object to the resolved array. The array
order will correspond with the groups order.
findkitFetch() takes FindkitFetchOptions as request params and returns
Promise<SearchResponse[]>.
function findkitFetch(params: FindkitFetchOptions): Promise<SearchResponse[]>;
interface FindkitFetchOptions {
terms: string;
groups: SearchGroupParams[];
customer?: string;
searchEndpoint?: string;
apiKey: string;
staging?: boolean;
logResponseTimes?: boolean;
}
interface SearchGroupParams {
tagQuery: string[][];
createdDecay?: number;
modifiedDecay?: number;
decayScale?: string;
highlightLength?: number;
size: number;
from: number;
lang?: string;
}
interface SearchResponse {
total: number;
duration?: number;
hits: {
score: number;
title: string;
language: string;
url: string;
domain: string;
created: string;
modified: string;
highlight: string;
tags: string[];
customFields: CustomFields;
}[];
}
type CustomFields = {
[customField: string]:
| { type: "date"; value: string }
| { type: "keyword"; value: string }
| { type: "number"; value: number }
| undefined;
};
