Using the Vonage Server-Client SDK

To create a client, you will need to pass in a @vonage/auth object.

const { Auth } = require('@vonage/auth');
const { Client } = require('@vonage/server-client');

const vonageClient = new Client (new Auth({
        apiKey: API_KEY,
        apiSecret: API_SECRET,
        applicationId: APP_ID,
        privateKey: PRIVATE_KEY_PATH,
    }),
    options,
);

You will now be able to send requests using the client:

const response = await vonageClient.sendGetRequest('https://rest.nexmo.com/account/numbers')

Options

The constructor for the client takes in two parameters credentials and options. credentials is either an Auth or an object containing the settings from AuthInterface.

options allows adjusting api endpoints and the request timeout.

• restHost: string (optional) - Allows overwriting the default https://rest.nexmo.com.
• apiHost: string (optional) - Allows overwriting the default https://api.nexmo.com.
• videoHost: string (optional) - Allows overwriting the default https://video.api.vonage.com.
• timeout: int (optional) - Set a custom timeout for requests to Vonage in milliseconds. Defaults to the standard for Node http requests, which is 120,000 ms.
