Installation

1. Install with npm

This library is distributed on npm.

npm install @kintone/rest-api-client

You can then use require or import to import the library.

// CommonJS
const { KintoneRestAPIClient } = require("@kintone/rest-api-client");
// ES modules
import { KintoneRestAPIClient } from "@kintone/rest-api-client";

2. UMD files (for browser environment)

This library also provides two Universal Module Definition (UMD) files:

• https://unpkg.com/@kintone/rest-api-client@latest/umd/KintoneRestAPIClient.js
• minified one: https://unpkg.com/@kintone/rest-api-client@latest/umd/KintoneRestAPIClient.min.js

After loading this, you can use KintoneRestAPIClient directly. In Kintone customization, please add this URL in "JavaScript and CSS Customization" setting of your app.

NOTE: The UMD links are using the latest tag to point to the latest version of the library. This pointer is unstable, it shifts as we release new versions. You should consider pointing to a specific version, such as 1.0.0.

Usage

Here is a sample code that retrieves records of an app.

const client = new KintoneRestAPIClient({
  baseUrl: "https://example.cybozu.com",
  // Use password authentication
  auth: {
    username: process.env.KINTONE_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.KINTONE_PASSWORD,
  },
  // Use API token authentication
  // auth: { apiToken: process.env.KINTONE_API_TOKEN }
  // Use OAuth token authentication
  // auth: { oAuthToken: process.env.KINTONE_OAUTH_TOKEN }

  // Use session authentication if `auth` is omitted (in browser only)
});

client.record
  .getRecords({ app: "1" })
  .then((resp) => {
    console.log(resp.records);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });
