CircleCi API Client
A Node and Browser client for the CircleCI API, written in TypeScript.



API wrapper for CircleCi API, usable in node and the browser. If used in a TypeScript project, you will get types, and auto-complete for all of the api responses. You will no longer need to tab back and fourth to the API documentation.
I recommend using this library if you are writing a tool or website in TypeScript. I have created definitions for each of the CircleCI endpoints. There may still be some errors, but I am open to contributions on making them better.
If there are any features you would like, please feel free to open up an issue.
Notes
Types
I did my best to correctly add types for all of the supported endpoints. However if you notice an incorrect payload type, or some missing properties, please open up an issue, or submit a pull request.
CircleCI API v2
CircleCI is going to be rolling out a new version of their api (see here). Currently this library does not support v2, but I will update it in the future, see #228 for updates.
Migrating from v3 to v4
There have been some breaking changes, please see MIGRATING.md for more info.
Installation
Add using yarn or npm
yarn add circleci-api
npm install circleci-api
Usage
Get your API token from CircleCi
There are two ways to use this library.
1. CircleCi class
Get instance of the factory.
import { CircleCI, GitType, CircleCIOptions } from "circleci-api";
const options: CircleCIOptions = {
token: "",
vcs: {
type: GitType.GITHUB,
owner: "worldturtlemedia",
repo: "circleci-api"
}
options: {
branch: "master",
filter: "completed"
}
}
const api = new CircleCI(options)
export async function getLatestArtifacts(branch: string = "master"): Promise<Artifact[]> {
try {
const result: Aritfact[] = await api.latestArtifacts({ branch, filter: "successful" })
console.log(`Found ${result.length} artifacts`)
return result
} catch (error) {
console.log("No build artifacts found")
}
return []
}
getLatestArtifacts("develop")
.then(artifacts => {
artifacts
.forEach(({ path, url }: Artifact) => console.log(`${path} -> ${url}`))
})
api
.latestArtifacts(
{ branch: "develop" },
{
vcs: { repo: "awesome-repo" },
options: { filter: "successful" }
}
)
.then((artifacts: Artifact[]) => console.log(`Found ${artifacts.length} artifacts`))
.catch(error => console.error(error))
2. Manually
The individual functions can also be imported if you only need one or two. To help with tree-shaking.
import { getMe, getLatestArtifacts } from "circleci-api";
const CIRCLECI_TOKEN: string = "circle-ci-token";
getMe(CIRCLECI_TOKEN)
.then(me => console.log("token is valid"))
.catch(error => console.error("invalid token"));
getLatestArtifacts(CIRCLECI_TOKEN, {
vcs: {
owner: "billyBob",
repo: "super-cool-app"
},
options: {
filter: "failed",
branch: "feature-smith2"
}
})
.then(result => console.log(`Found ${result.length} artifacts`))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Self-hosted CircleCI
To override the default API base url https://circleci.com/api/v1.1
, you can pass a circleHost
to the CircleCI
constructor, or to the standalone functions.
new CircleCI({
token: "my-token",
vcs: { owner: "worldturtlemedia", repo = "circleci-api" },
circleHost: "https://my-selfhosted-circleci.com/"
}).getLatestArtifacts()
getLatestArtifacts("my-token", {
...
circleHost: "https://my-selfhosted-circleci.com/"
})
While all of the standalone functions support a custom circleHost
property. Using the CircleCI
class you must specify it in the constructor.
Demo
There are three similar demos are available in the demo
folder.
Note: I recommend VSCode for viewing and editing the examples. It will give you great intellisense about the library.
For the TypeScript & JavaScript follow the steps below:
cd demo
yarn
node ./index.js
npx ts-node --project ../tsconfig.base.json ./index.ts
yarn build
Supported endpoints
Using factory:
Optional properties:
export interface CircleRequest {
token?: string;
vcs?: GitInfo;
options?: Options;
}
Any function with an optional paramater of CircleRequest
can override any of the values you assigned when using the circleci()
factory.
me() | none | none | Me |
projects() | none | CircleRequest | Project[] |
followProject() | { vcs: GitInfo } | none | FollowNewResult |
recentBuilds() | none | { limit: number, offset: number } | BuildSummary[] |
builds() | none | { limit: number, offset: number } | BuildSummary[] |
buildsFor() | branch: string = "master" | { limit: number, offset: number } | BuildSummary[] |
build() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | BuildWithSteps |
artifacts() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | Artifact[] |
latestArtifacts() | none | CircleRequest | Artifact[] |
retry() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | BuildSummary |
cancel() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | BuildSummary |
triggerBuild() | none | CircleRequest | Build |
triggerBuildFor() | branch: string = "master" | CircleRequest | Build |
clearCache() | none | CircleRequest | ClearCacheResponse |
listEnvVars() | none | CircleRequest | EnvVariable[] |
addEnvVar() | variable: EnvVariable | CircleRequest | EnvVariable |
getEnvVar() | envName: string | CircleRequest | EnvVariable |
deleteEnvVar() | envName: string | CircleRequest | MessageResponse |
checkoutKeys() | none | CircleRequest | CheckoutKeyResponse |
createCheckoutKey() | type: CheckoutType | CircleRequest | CheckoutKeyResponse |
checkoutKey() | fingerprint: string | CircleRequest | CheckoutKeyResponse |
deleteCheckoutKey() | fingerprint: string | CircleRequest | DeleteCheckoutKeyResponse |
getTestMetadata() | buildNumber: number | CircleRequest | TestMetadataResponse |
addSSHKey() | key: SSHKey | CircleRequest | none |
addHerokuKey() | key: HerokuKey | CircleRequest | none |
Missing endpoint
The last remaining endpoint probably won't be added unless there is demand.
