Sinch Numbers SDK for Node.js
This package contains the Sinch Numbers SDK for Node.js for use with Sinch APIs. To use it, you will need a Sinch account. Please sign up or log in if you already have one.
Installation
We recommend to use this SDK as part of the @sinch/sdk-core
package in order to make the most out of all the Sinch products.
However, it's still possible to use this SDK standalone is you need to access the Numbers API only.
With NPM
npm install @sinch/numbers
With Yarn
yarn add @sinch/numbers
Usage
Credentials
The Numbers
API uses the Sinch unified authentication with OAuth2. You will need to provide the following credentials:
- projectId: can be found in the Account Dashboard
- keyId:: can be found in your Access key list in the Account Dashboard
- keySecret: can be found ONLY when generating a new access key: keep it safe!
As part of the Sinch SDK
If you are using this SDK as part of the Sinch SDK (@sinch/sdk-core
) you can access it as the numbers
property of the client that you would have instantiated.
import {
Numbers,
NumbersService,
SinchClient,
UnifiedCredentials,
} from '@sinch/sdk-core';
const credentials: UnifiedCredentials = {
projectId: 'PROJECT_ID',
keyId: 'KEY_ID',
keySecret: 'KEY_SECRET',
};
const sinch = new SinchClient(credentials);
const numbersService: NumbersService = sinch.numbers;
const requestData: Numbers.GetAvailableNumberRequestData = {
phoneNumber: '+17813334444',
};
const availabilityResult: Numbers.AvailableNumber
= await numbersService.availableNumber.checkAvailability(requestData);
Standalone
The SDK can be used standalone if you need to use only the Numbers APIs.
import {
UnifiedCredentials,
} from '@sinch/sdk-client';
import {
Numbers,
NumbersService,
} from '@sinch/numbers';
const credentials: UnifiedCredentials = {
projectId: 'PROJECT_ID',
keyId: 'KEY_ID',
keySecret: 'KEY_SECRET',
};
const numbersService = new NumbersService(credentials);
const requestData: Numbers.GetAvailableNumberRequestData = {
phoneNumber: '+17813334444',
};
const availabilityResult: Numbers.AvailableNumber
= await numbersService.availableNumber.checkAvailability(requestData);
Promises
All the methods that interact with the Sinch APIs use Promises. You can use await
in an async
method to wait for the response, or you can resolve them yourself with then()
/ catch()
.
let availabilityResult: Numbers.AvailableNumber;
try {
availabilityResult = await numbersService.availableNumber.checkAvailability(requestData);
console.log(`Phone number: ${availabilityResult.phoneNumber} - Type: ${availabilityResult.type}`);
} catch (error: any) {
console.error(`ERROR ${error.statusCode}: the phone number ${requestData.phoneNumber} is not available`);
}
numbersService.availableNumber.checkAvailability(requestData)
.then(response => console.log(`Phone number: ${response.phoneNumber} - Type: ${response.type}`))
.catch(error => console.error(`ERROR ${error.statusCode}: the phone number ${requestData.phoneNumber} is not available`));
