xfarr-api

library3.0.1jsnpmunverified

xfarr-api is a JavaScript/TypeScript module providing a full implementation of the `api.xfarr.com` REST API, designed for use in Node.js environments. It currently stands at version 3.0.1, indicating active development, though a specific release cadence is not detailed. The library acts as a client for various web scraping and utility features exposed by the xfarr.com service, such as 'stalking' npm package information. Its primary differentiator is providing a structured, promise-based interface to a third-party API, simplifying interaction and abstracting HTTP requests, requiring an API key for all operations.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

APIWrapper

✓ import APIWrapper from 'xfarr-api';

✗ import { APIWrapper } from 'xfarr-api';

Main class/function, imported as a default export in ECMAScript Modules (ESM).

APIWrapper

✓ const APIWrapper = require('xfarr-api');

✗ const { APIWrapper } = require('xfarr-api');

Main class/function, imported via CommonJS `require`. The package exports a default/module.exports value.

APIWrapperType

✓ import type { APIWrapperType } from 'xfarr-api';

✗ import { APIWrapperType } from 'xfarr-api';

Type import for TypeScript users to ensure correct type inference for the `APIWrapper` class or instance. Assumes types are exported alongside the main module.

Demonstrates initializing the API wrapper with an API key and making two example API calls using the promise-based interface.

import APIWrapper from 'xfarr-api'; const API_KEY = process.env.XFARR_API_KEY ?? ''; // Ensure your API key is set as an environment variable if (!API_KEY) { console.error('Error: XFARR_API_KEY environment variable is not set.'); process.exit(1); } const xfar = new APIWrapper(API_KEY); // Example of an API call: fetching npm package information xfar.stalking.npmjs("xfarr-api") .then(response => { console.log('NPM Stalking Result:', response); }) .catch(error => { console.error('Error during NPM stalking:', error.message); }); // Another example: (assuming 'random' feature exists and takes no params) xfar.random.meme() .then(response => { console.log('Random Meme:', response); }) .catch(error => { console.error('Error fetching random meme:', error.message); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaAn API key is strictly required for all interactions with the xfarr.com API. Operations will fail without a valid key.

fix

Obtain an API key from https://api.xfarr.com/auth/signin and pass it during `APIWrapper` instantiation, or set it as an environment variable (e.g., `XFARR_API_KEY`).

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe underlying xfarr.com API may have rate limits or usage quotas. Exceeding these limits can lead to temporary or permanent blocking of your API key.

fix

Refer to the official API documentation at https://api.xfarr.com/ for rate limit specifics. Implement exponential backoff or caching mechanisms in your application to manage request frequency.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaAs a wrapper around a third-party API, `xfarr-api`'s functionality is dependent on the stability and feature set of `api.xfarr.com`. Changes to the upstream API could introduce breaking changes not reflected in the `xfarr-api`'s major version bumps.

fix

Monitor the `xfarr-api` GitHub repository and the `api.xfarr.com` service announcements for updates. Thoroughly test your application after updating `xfarr-api` or if you observe unexpected API behavior.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Unauthorized

The provided API key is invalid, expired, or missing in the request.

fix

Ensure you are using a correct and active API key. Double-check for typos and confirm it has not expired on the xfarr.com dashboard. Pass the key to the `APIWrapper` constructor: `new APIWrapper('YOUR_API_KEY')`.

xfar.[feature].[name] is not a function

Attempting to call a non-existent feature or method, or the API feature may have been removed or renamed.

fix

Consult the latest `xfarr-api` documentation or the `api.xfarr.com` documentation to verify the correct feature and method names. Ensure you are using a supported version of the library.

TypeError: APIWrapper is not a constructor

The `APIWrapper` class was not instantiated with the `new` keyword.

fix

Always create an instance of the wrapper using `new APIWrapper(apiKey);` before attempting to call its methods.
