Finbud Data TypeScript API Library

This library provides convenient access to the Finbud Data REST API from server-side TypeScript or JavaScript.

The full API of this library can be found in api.md.

It is generated with Stainless.

Installation

npm install finbud-data

Usage

The full API of this library can be found in api.md.

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';

const client = new FinbudData({
  apiKey: process.env['FINBUD_DATA_API_KEY'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

async function main() {
  const response = await client.analysts.retrieveEstimates('REPLACE_ME');
}

main();

Request & Response types

This library includes TypeScript definitions for all request params and response fields. You may import and use them like so:

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';

const client = new FinbudData({
  apiKey: process.env['FINBUD_DATA_API_KEY'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

async function main() {
  const response: FinbudData.AnalystRetrieveEstimatesResponse = await client.analysts.retrieveEstimates(
    'REPLACE_ME',
  );
}

main();

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

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 response = await client.analysts.retrieveEstimates('REPLACE_ME').catch(async (err) => {
    if (err instanceof FinbudData.APIError) {
      console.log(err.status); // 400
      console.log(err.name); // BadRequestError
      console.log(err.headers); // {server: 'nginx', ...}
    } else {
      throw err;
    }
  });
}

main();

Error codes are as followed:

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), 408 Request Timeout, 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 client = new FinbudData({
  maxRetries: 0, // default is 2
});

// Or, configure per-request:
await client.analysts.retrieveEstimates('REPLACE_ME', {
  maxRetries: 5,
});

Timeouts

Requests time out after 1 minute by default. You can configure this with a timeout option:

// Configure the default for all requests:
const client = new FinbudData({
  timeout: 20 * 1000, // 20 seconds (default is 1 minute)
});

// Override per-request:
await client.analysts.retrieveEstimates('REPLACE_ME', {
  timeout: 5 * 1000,
});

On timeout, an APIConnectionTimeoutError is thrown.

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

Advanced Usage

Accessing raw Response data (e.g., headers)

The "raw" Response returned by fetch() can be accessed through the .asResponse() method on the APIPromise type that all methods return. This method returns as soon as the headers for a successful response are received and does not consume the response body, so you are free to write custom parsing or streaming logic.

You can also use the .withResponse() method to get the raw Response along with the parsed data. Unlike .asResponse() this method consumes the body, returning once it is parsed.

const client = new FinbudData();

const response = await client.analysts.retrieveEstimates('REPLACE_ME').asResponse();
console.log(response.headers.get('X-My-Header'));
console.log(response.statusText); // access the underlying Response object

const { data: response, response: raw } = await client.analysts
  .retrieveEstimates('REPLACE_ME')
  .withResponse();
console.log(raw.headers.get('X-My-Header'));
console.log(response);

Logging

[!IMPORTANT] All log messages are intended for debugging only. The format and content of log messages may change between releases.

Log levels

The log level can be configured in two ways:

1. Via the FINBUD_DATA_LOG environment variable
2. Using the logLevel client option (overrides the environment variable if set)

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';

const client = new FinbudData({
  logLevel: 'debug', // Show all log messages
});

Available log levels, from most to least verbose:

• 'debug' - Show debug messages, info, warnings, and errors
• 'info' - Show info messages, warnings, and errors
• 'warn' - Show warnings and errors (default)
• 'error' - Show only errors
• 'off' - Disable all logging

At the 'debug' level, all HTTP requests and responses are logged, including headers and bodies. Some authentication-related headers are redacted, but sensitive data in request and response bodies may still be visible.

Custom logger

By default, this library logs to globalThis.console. You can also provide a custom logger. Most logging libraries are supported, including pino, winston, bunyan, consola, signale, and @std/log. If your logger doesn't work, please open an issue.

When providing a custom logger, the logLevel option still controls which messages are emitted, messages below the configured level will not be sent to your logger.

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';
import pino from 'pino';

const logger = pino();

const client = new FinbudData({
  logger: logger.child({ name: 'FinbudData' }),
  logLevel: 'debug', // Send all messages to pino, allowing it to filter
});

Making custom/undocumented requests

This library is typed for convenient access to the documented API. If you need to access undocumented endpoints, params, or response properties, the library can still be used.

Undocumented endpoints

To make requests to undocumented endpoints, you can use client.get, client.post, and other HTTP verbs. Options on the client, such as retries, will be respected when making these requests.

await client.post('/some/path', {
  body: { some_prop: 'foo' },
  query: { some_query_arg: 'bar' },
});

Undocumented request params

To make requests using undocumented parameters, you may use // @ts-expect-error on the undocumented parameter. This library doesn't validate at runtime that the request matches the type, so any extra values you send will be sent as-is.

client.foo.create({
  foo: 'my_param',
  bar: 12,
  // @ts-expect-error baz is not yet public
  baz: 'undocumented option',
});

For requests with the GET verb, any extra params will be in the query, all other requests will send the extra param in the body.

If you want to explicitly send an extra argument, you can do so with the query, body, and headers request options.

Undocumented response properties

To access undocumented response properties, you may access the response object with // @ts-expect-error on the response object, or cast the response object to the requisite type. Like the request params, we do not validate or strip extra properties from the response from the API.

Customizing the fetch client

By default, this library expects a global fetch function is defined.

If you want to use a different fetch function, you can either polyfill the global:

import fetch from 'my-fetch';

globalThis.fetch = fetch;

Or pass it to the client:

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';
import fetch from 'my-fetch';

const client = new FinbudData({ fetch });

Fetch options

If you want to set custom fetch options without overriding the fetch function, you can provide a fetchOptions object when instantiating the client or making a request. (Request-specific options override client options.)

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';

const client = new FinbudData({
  fetchOptions: {
    // `RequestInit` options
  },
});

Configuring proxies

To modify proxy behavior, you can provide custom fetchOptions that add runtime-specific proxy options to requests:

import FinbudData from 'finbud-data';
import * as undici from 'undici';

const proxyAgent = new undici.ProxyAgent('http://localhost:8888');
const client = new FinbudData({
  fetchOptions: {
    dispatcher: proxyAgent,
  },
});
