Getting started

Installation

This library has no special requirements. Install it with NPM:

npm install @lokalise/node-api

Initializing Client

In order to perform API requests, you require a special token that can be obtained in your personal profile (API tokens section). Note that the owner of the token must have admin access rights.

After you've obtained the token, initialize the client:

const { LokaliseApi } = require('@lokalise/node-api');

const lokaliseApi = new LokaliseApi({ apiKey: '<apiKey>'});

Now you may perform API requests, for example:

const projects = lokaliseApi.projects.list();
projects[0].name;

All object attributes may be found in the interfaces.

Pagination

Bulk fetches support pagination. There are two common parameters available:

• limit (defaults to 100, maximum is 5000) - number of records to display per page
• page (defaults to 1) - page to fetch

For instance:

lokaliseApi.translationProviders.list({team_id: team_id, page: 2, limit: 10});

Usage

Every request returns a promise with a corresponding object (or array of objects) as the result.

Additional Info

Error handling

Error codes are listed in the API docs.

API Rate Limits

Lokalise does not rate-limit API requests, however retain a right to decline the service in case of excessive use. Only one concurrent request per token is allowed. To ensure data consistency, it is not recommended to access the same project simultaneously using multiple tokens.

Running Tests

This library is tested with Node 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. To test locally:

1. Copypaste .env.example file as .env. Put your API token inside. The .env file is excluded from version control so your token is safe. All in all, we use pre-recorded cassettes, so the actual API requests won't be sent. However, providing at least some token is required.
2. Run npm test. Observe test results and coverage.

Building

1. Run npm run-script build
2. Browse dist/ folder
