@banksnussman/venmo v0.1.22

Venmo 💳

Venmo API for Typescript

The people making desisons at Venmo are a bunch of cowards because they do not provide a way for developers to easily automate payments and transations with Venmo 🤬. This package exists because Venmo chose to be anti-developer. This package is intended to be used in Node.js backends, but will run in the browser if you want to it.

Implimentation ⌨️

This project is a Typescript port of the implimentation in venmo-auto-transfer.

Warning: This package is working as of January 22, 2023. It may not work in the future.

Example Usage 💻

This exmaple below shows an end-to-end flow of how you to authenticate, view transactions, find a user, and pay that user.

import { Venmo } from "@banksnussman/venmo";

const v = new Venmo({
  username: "your-username",
  password: "your-password",
  bankAccountNumber: "you-bank-account-number"
});

const token = await v.login();

const identities = await v.getIdentities();

const me = identities.find(i => i.identityType === 'personal');

if (!me) {
  throw new Error("Unable to find my identity");
}

const stories = await v.getStories('me', me.externalId);

const ian = await v.getPerson("ian-murphy-35");

if (!ian) {
  throw new Error("Unable to find Ian");
}

const funding = await v.getFundingInstruments();

const debitCard = funding.profile.wallet.find(walletItem => walletItem.instrumentType === 'debitCard');

if (!debitCard) {
  throw new Error("Could not find debit card");
}

const balance = v.pay({
  username: "ian-murphy-35",
  amount: 0.01,
  note: "if venmo is going to be lame, we can just use playwright",
});

console.log("New Balance", balance);

/*

Somone please help
const payment = await v.brokenPay({
  targetUserDetails: { userId: ian.id },
  amountInCents: 1,
  audience: 'private',
  note: "venmo sucks for making this so hard",
  type: "pay",
  fundingSourceID: debitCard.id,
});

console.log("Payment", payment)
