Learn how to integrate Airstack APIs to your Node.js application using the Airstack Node SDK. |
|
In this tutorial, you will learn how to start integrating Airstack API into your Node.js application.
- Step 0: Pre-requisites
- Step 1: Install Airstack Node SDK
- Step 2: Set Environment Variable
- Step 3: Initialize SDK
- Step 4: Call Your Query
- Completed Get API Key
- Git
- Node v.16+
Use a package manager to install the Airstack Node SDK into your Node.js project:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="npm" %}
npm install @airstack/node
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="yarn" %}
yarn add @airstack/node
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="pnpm" %}
pnpm install @airstack/node
{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
Create a new .env
file:
touch .env
Add the Airstack API key as the environment variable:
AIRSTACK_API_KEY=YOUR_AIRSTACK_API_KEY
If you are using Node version 20.6.0+, then you can simply import the environment variable to you Node.js app. Thus, directly proceed to the next step.
If you are using Node version earlier than 20.6.0, then you need to install the dotenv
package:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="npm" %}
npm install dotenv
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="yarn" %}
yarn add dotenv
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="pnpm" %}
pnpm install dotenv
{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
and import the package to be able to inject the environment variable to your application:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="JavaScript" %} {% code title="index.js" %}
import { config } from "dotenv";
config();
{% endcode %} {% endtab %}
{% tab title="TypeScript" %} {% code title="index.ts" %}
import { config } from "dotenv";
config();
{% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
You can use init
from the SDK to initialize it with the Airstack API key:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="TypeScript" %} {% code title="index.ts" %}
import { init } from "@airstack/node";
init(process.env.AIRSTACK_API_KEY);
{% endcode %} {% endtab %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %} {% code title="index.js" %}
import { init } from "@airstack/node";
init(process.env.AIRSTACK_API_KEY);
{% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
Once you have initialized the SDK, you can use the fetchQuery
to call the Airstack API.
Below you have been provided with Airstack query to fetch the 0x address and Farcaster owned by vitalik.eth
:
{% tabs %} {% tab title="TypeScript" %} {% code title="index.ts" %}
import { fetchQuery } from "@airstack/node";
interface QueryResponse {
data: Data;
error: Error;
}
interface Data {
Wallet: Wallet;
}
interface Error {
message: string;
}
interface Wallet {
socials: Social[];
addresses: string[];
}
interface Social {
dappName: "farcaster";
profileName: string;
}
const query = `
query MyQuery {
Wallet(input: {identity: "vitalik.eth", blockchain: ethereum}) {
socials {
dappName
profileName
}
addresses
}
}
`;
const main = async () => {
const { data, error }: QueryResponse = await fetchQuery(query);
if (error) {
throw new Error(error.message);
}
console.log(data);
};
main();
{% endcode %} {% endtab %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %} {% code title="index.js" %}
import { fetchQuery } from "@airstack/node";
const query = `
query MyQuery {
Wallet(input: {identity: "vitalik.eth", blockchain: ethereum}) {
socials {
dappName
profileName
}
addresses
}
}
`;
const main = async () => {
const { data, error } = await fetchQuery(query);
if (error) {
throw new Error(error.message);
}
console.log(data);
};
main();
{% endcode %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
The data
variable will return and logged into your terminal as follows:
{
"data": {
"Wallet": {
"socials": [
{
"dappName": "farcaster",
"profileName": "vitalik.eth"
}
],
"addresses": ["0xd8da6bf26964af9d7eed9e03e53415d37aa96045"]
}
}
}
