api
  .get('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2')
  .then(({ status, data }) => console.log(status, data));

var api = require('nordnet-next-api');
var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/', function (req, res) {
  api.get('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2')
    .then(function(response) {
      res.send(response);

Authentication is required to be able to use nExt API. Authorization header can be used to pass session token when communicating to the API. See nExt API documentation for more details on how to get test account and authenticate against nExt API.

API

• api.get(url, params = {}, headers = {})
• api.post(url, params = {}, headers = {})
• api.postJson(url, params = {}, headers = {}) — api.post with { 'Content-type': 'application/json;' } in headers
• api.put(url, params = {}, headers = {})
• api.del(url, params = {}, headers = {})

Each method returns a Promise, which resolves or rejects with Object { response, data, status } where

• response, Type Object, Fetch API Response
• data, Type Object || String || (undefined if HTTP status === 204)
• status, Type Number, HTTP status code

Promise is rejected when HTTP status code is greater or equal 400.

url

Required
Type: String Example:

• /api/2/login
• /api/2/accounts/{accno}
• /api/2/instruments/{instrument_id}?positions={positions}

Note: interpolated url params are taken from params argument. If url contains a key, which doesn't exist in params, promise will be rejected with Error.

params

Required
Type: Object
Default: {}

Object params is used to

• interpolate url params.
• if headers contains "Content-type": "application/json" for constructing request payload.
• otherwise for constructing request body.

headers

Required
Type: Object
Default: {}

See Fetch API Headers

Basic usage

import api from 'nordnet-next-api';

api
  .get('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2/accounts/{accno}', { accno: 123456789 })
  .then(({ status, data, response }) => console.log(status, data, response));

Returned response contains

• status (HTTP response status)
• data (either JSON or plain string depending on Content-type header)
• response (Response interface of Fetch API)

Setting root URL before querying

import api from 'nordnet-next-api';

api.setConfig({ root: 'https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2' });

api.get('/accounts/{accno}', { accno: 123456789 })
  .then(response => console.log(response));

The following config keys are supported:

• root sets base root URL
• nTag set initial nTag value

Passing path parameters

import { get } from 'nordnet-next-api';

get('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2/accounts/{accno}', { accno: 123456789 })
  .then(({ status, data }) => console.log(status, data));

Passing query parameters

import { get } from 'nordnet-next-api';

get('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2/news?days={days}', { days: 0 })
  .then(({ status, data }) => console.log(status, data));

Passing POST parameters

import { post } from 'nordnet-next-api';

post('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2/user/{key}', { key: 'foo', value: { bar: 'bar' }})
  .then(({ status, data }) => console.log(status, data));

Passing additional headers

import { get } from 'nordnet-next-api';

get('https://api.test.nordnet.se/next/2/markets/{market_id}', { market_id: 11 }, { 'Accept-Language': 'sv' })
  .then(({ status, data }) => console.log(status, data));
