checkmarx-api-client

checkmarx-api-client

TypeScript client for the Checkmarx On-Premise REST API. Works in Node.js and the browser (isomorphic). Fully typed, zero runtime dependencies.

Installation

npm install checkmarx-api-client

Quick start

import { CheckmarxClient } from 'checkmarx-api-client';

const cx = new CheckmarxClient({
  apiUrl:  'https://checkmarx.example.com',
  apiPath: 'api',
  token:   'your-api-token',
});

API reference

Projects

// List all projects
const result = await cx.projects();
const result = await cx.projects({ limit: 50, name: 'my-app' });
const result = await cx.projects({ ids: 'uuid1,uuid2', tags: 'team:backend' });

result.projects            // CheckmarxProject[]
result.totalCount          // number
result.filteredTotalCount  // number

// Get a single project
const project = await cx.project('project-uuid');

// Get project branches
const branches = await cx.project('project-uuid').branches();
const branches = await cx.project('project-uuid').branches({ branchName: 'main' });
const branches = await cx.project('project-uuid').branches({ limit: 25, offset: 0 });

Scans

// List scans
const result = await cx.scans();
const result = await cx.scans({ 'project-id': 'project-uuid' });
const result = await cx.scans({
  'project-id': 'project-uuid',
  branch:       'main',
  status:       'Completed',
  limit:        25,
  offset:       0,
});

result.scans               // CheckmarxScan[]
result.totalCount          // number
result.filteredTotalCount  // number

Scan summary

// Get summary for one or more scans
const summaries = await cx.scanSummary({ 'scan-ids': 'scan-uuid-1,scan-uuid-2' });
const summaries = await cx.scanSummary({
  'scan-ids':               'scan-uuid',
  'include-queries':        true,
  'include-status-counters': true,
});

// summaries[0].sastCounters.highCounter
// summaries[0].scaCounters.totalCounter
// summaries[0].kicsCounters.mediumCounter

Reports

// Request a new report
const { reportId } = await cx.createReport({
  reportName: 'my-report',
  fileFormat: 'PDF',
  reportType: 'ui',
  data: {
    projectId:  'project-uuid',
    scanId:     'scan-uuid',
    branchName: 'main',
  },
});

// Download the report (returns ArrayBuffer — save to disk or stream)
const buffer = await cx.downloadReport(reportId);

Projects overview

// Overview across all projects
const result = await cx.projectsOverview();
const result = await cx.projectsOverview({
  'project-ids': 'uuid1,uuid2',
  'branch-name': 'main',
  limit:         50,
  offset:        0,
});

result.projectsOverviewItems   // CheckmarxProjectOverview[]
result.totalCount              // number
result.filteredTotalCount      // number

Chainable resource pattern

project(id) implements PromiseLike, so it can be awaited directly or chained to access sub-resources:

// Await directly → fetches the project
const project = await cx.project('project-uuid');

// Chain → fetches branches
const branches = await cx.project('project-uuid').branches({ branchName: 'main' });

Request events

Subscribe to every HTTP request for logging, monitoring, or debugging:

cx.on('request', (event) => {
  console.log(`[${event.method}] ${event.url} → ${event.statusCode} (${event.durationMs}ms)`);
  if (event.error) {
    console.error('Request failed:', event.error.message);
  }
});

The event object contains:

Field	Type	Description
url	string	Full URL that was requested
method	'GET' | 'POST'	HTTP method used
startedAt	Date	When the request started
finishedAt	Date	When the request finished
durationMs	number	Duration in milliseconds
statusCode	number | undefined	HTTP status code, if a response was received
error	Error | undefined	Present only if the request failed

Multiple listeners can be registered. The event is always emitted whether the request succeeded or failed.

Error handling

Non-2xx responses throw a CheckmarxApiError with the HTTP status code and status text:

import { CheckmarxApiError } from 'checkmarx-api-client';

try {
  await cx.project('nonexistent-uuid');
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof CheckmarxApiError) {
    console.log(err.status);     // 404
    console.log(err.statusText); // 'Not Found'
    console.log(err.message);    // 'Checkmarx API error: 404 Not Found'
    console.log(err.stack);      // full stack trace
  }
}

Authentication

The client uses Bearer token authentication. Pass your API key or JWT token directly:

const cx = new CheckmarxClient({
  apiUrl:  'https://checkmarx.example.com',
  apiPath: 'api',
  token:   'your-api-token',
});
