Increase Node API Library

The Increase Node library provides convenient access to the Increase REST API from applications written in server-side JavaScript. It includes TypeScript definitions for all request params and response fields.

Documentation

The API documentation can be found here.

Installation

npm install --save increase
# or
yarn add increase

Usage

import Increase from 'increase';

const increase = new Increase({
  apiKey: 'my api key', // defaults to process.env["INCREASE_API_KEY"]
  environment: 'sandbox', // defaults to 'production'
});

async function main() {
  const account = await increase.accounts.create({
    name: 'My First Increase Account',
  });

  console.log(account.id);
}
main().catch(console.error);

Usage with TypeScript

Importing, instantiating, and interacting with the library are the same as above. If you like, you may reference our types directly:

import Increase from 'increase';

const increase = new Increase({
  apiKey: 'my api key', // defaults to process.env["INCREASE_API_KEY"]
  environment: 'sandbox', // defaults to 'production'
});

async function main() {
  const params: Increase.AccountCreateParams = { name: 'My First Increase Account' };
  const account: Increase.Account = await increase.accounts.create(params);
}
main().catch(console.error);

Documentation for each method, request param, and response field are available in docstrings and will appear on hover in most modern editors.

File Uploads

Request parameters that correspond to file uploads can be passed as either a FormData.Blob or a FormData.File instance.

We provide a fileFromPath helper function to easily create FormData.File instances from a given class.

import ModernTreasury, { fileFromPath } from 'increase';

const increase = new Increase();

const file = await fileFromPath('/my/file.txt');
await increase.files.create({ file: file, purpose: 'other' });

Handling errors

When the library is unable to connect to the API, or if the API returns a non-success status code (i.e., 4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of APIError will be thrown:

async function main() {
  const account = await increase.accounts.create({ naem: 'Oops' }).catch((err) => {
    if (err instanceof Increase.APIError) {
      console.log(err.status); // 400
      console.log(err.name); // BadRequestError
      console.log(err.error?.type); // missing_param
      console.log(err.error?.title); // Missing param "name"
      console.log(err.error?.detail); // Looks like "naem" may have been a typo?
      console.log(err.error?.status); // 400
      console.log(err.headers); // {server: 'nginx', ...}
    }
  });
}
main().catch(console.error);

Error codes are as followed:

Status Code	Error Type
400	BadRequestError
401	AuthenticationError
403	PermissionDeniedError
404	NotFoundError
422	UnprocessableEntityError
429	RateLimitError
>=500	InternalServerError
N/A	APIConnectionError

Retries

Certain errors will be automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff. Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors will all be retried by default.

You can use the maxRetries option to configure or disable this:

// Configure the default for all requests:
const increase = new Increase({
  maxRetries: 0, // default is 2
});

// Or, configure per-request:
increase.accounts.create({ name: 'Jack' }, {
  maxRetries: 5,
});

Timeouts

Requests time out after 60 seconds by default. You can configure this with a timeout option:

// Configure the default for all requests:
const increase = new Increase({
  timeout: 20 * 1000, // 20 seconds (default is 60s)
});

// Override per-request:
increase.accounts.list({ status: 'open' }, {
  timeout: 5 * 1000,
});

On timeout, an APIConnectionTimeoutError is thrown.

Note that requests which time out will be retried twice by default.

Auto-pagination

List methods in the Increase API are paginated. Use for await … of syntax to iterate through items across all pages.

async function fetchAllAccounts(params) {
  const allAccounts = [];
  // Automatically fetches more pages as needed.
  for await (const account of increase.accounts.list()) {
    allAccounts.push(account);
  }
  return allAccounts;
}

Configuring an HTTP(S) Agent (e.g., for proxies)

By default, this library uses a stable agent for all http/https requests to reuse TCP connections, eliminating many TCP & TLS handshakes and shaving around 100ms off most requests.

If you would like to disable or customize this behavior, for example to use the API behind a proxy, you can pass an httpAgent which is used for all requests (be they http or https), for example:

import http from 'http';
import HttpsProxyAgent from 'https-proxy-agent';

// Configure the default for all requests:
const increase = new Increase({
  httpAgent: new HttpsProxyAgent(process.env.PROXY_URL),
});

// Override per-request:
increase.accounts.list({ status: 'open' }, {
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:8080/test-api',
  httpAgent: new http.Agent({ keepAlive: false }),
})

Status

This package is in beta. Its internals and interfaces are not stable and subject to change without a major semver bump; please reach out if you rely on any undocumented behavior.

We are keen for your feedback; please email us at [e-mail] or open an issue with questions, bugs, or suggestions.

Requirements

The following runtimes are supported:

• Node.js version 12 or higher.
• Deno v1.28.0 or higher (experimental). Use import Increase from "npm:increase".
