Node.js Client Library for SynapseFI REST V3.1 API
Please refer to samples.md and our API documentation for examples.
We are proud to release a new major version (2.0.0
) in beta, written in typescript to improve developer experience. These changes were designed to be backwards compatible. Though this is a major version upgrade, there should be no impact to upgrading. We recommend test these in a sandbox environment before deploying to a live production environment.
to try out the newest version:
npm install synapsenode@latest
To update to the most recent version of synapsenode
npm update synapsenode
Require and configure dotenv:
require('dotenv').config()
Create a .env file at the root directory and add the following variables to it:
CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
FINGERPRINT=<YOUR_FINGERPRINT>
Initialize new Client:
const Synapse = require('synapsenode');
const Client = Synapse.Client;
const client = new Client({
client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
fingerprint: process.env.FINGERPRINT,
ip_address: '<ip_address>',
// isProduction boolean determines if production (true) or sandbox (false) endpoint is used
isProduction: false
});
Run the following command from the root package directory after the .env file is set up and '<OBJ_ID>' values are replaced in the test files:
npm test
