Welcome to the installation guide for our Developer API. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up and integrating our API into your application.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

  • A valid API key
  • Node.js installed on your system
  • npm (Node Package Manager) installed

Installation Steps

  1. Create a New Project Directory

    • Open your terminal and navigate to the desired location.
    • Run mkdir my-api-project to create a new directory for your project.

  2. Navigate to the Project Directory

    • Change into the new directory using cd my-api-project.

  3. Initialize a New Node.js Project

    • Run npm init -y to create a package.json file with default settings.

  4. Install the API Client Library

    • Run npm install my-api-client to install the API client library for your project.

  5. Configure Your API Key

    • Open your package.json file and add the following line under the scripts section:
      "config": "node config.js"
    • Create a new file named config.js in the root of your project directory.
    • Add the following code to config.js to set your API key:
      module.exports = {
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
};

  6. Write Your Application Code

    • Use the API client library to make requests to the API and handle the responses.

  7. Run Your Application

    • Run your application using npm start or the command specified in your package.json file.

Example Usage

Here's an example of how you can use the API client library to retrieve data from the API:

const apiClient = require('my-api-client');

apiClient.get('/data', { apiKey: process.env.API_KEY })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

For more detailed examples and usage scenarios, please refer to the API Documentation.
