Advanced tools
SDK for the Socket API client, generated by api.
npm install @socketsecurity/sdk
import { SocketSdk } from '@socketsecurity/sdk'
const client = new SocketSdk('yourApiKeyHere')
const res = await client.getQuota()
if (res.success) {
// Will output { quota: 123 } if the quota you have left is 123
console.log(res.data)
}
const { SocketSdk } = require('@socketsecurity/sdk')

filePaths: An array of absolute or relative string paths to package.json and any corresponding package-lock.json filespathsRelativeTo: A string path that the absolute paths filePaths are relative to. This to calculate where in your project the package.json/package-lock.json files livesissueRules: An object that follows the format of the socket.yml issue rules. Keys being issue names, values being a boolean that activates or deactivates it. Is applied on top of default config and organization config.getReportList()getReportSupportedFiles()getReport(id)

pkgJson: The content of the package.json you want to create a User-Agent string forThe SocketSdk constructor accepts an options object as its second argument and there a userAgent key with a string value can be specified. If specified then that user agent will be prepended to the SDK user agent. See this example:
const client = new SocketSdk('yourApiKeyHere', {
userAgent: 'example/1.2.3 (http://example.com/)'
})
Which results in the HTTP User-Agent header:
User-Agent: example/1.2.3 (http://example.com/) socketsecurity-sdk/0.5.2 (https://github.com/SocketDev/socket-sdk-js)
To easily create a user agent for your code you can use the additional export createUserAgentFromPkgJson() like this, assuming pkgJson contains your parsed package.json:
const client = new SocketSdk('yourApiKeyHere', {
userAgent: createUserAgentFromPkgJson(pkgJson)
})
Specifying a custom user agent is good practice when shipping a piece of code that others can use to make requests. Eg. our CLI uses this option to identify requests coming from it + mentioning which version of it that is used.
