• Auto-generated API Docs
• API analytics
• Treblle API Score
• API Lifecycle Collaboration
• Native Treblle Apps

How Treblle Works

Once you’ve integrated a Treblle SDK in your codebase, this SDK will send requests and response data to your Treblle Dashboard.

In your Treblle Dashboard you get to see real-time requests to your API, auto-generated API docs, API analytics like how fast the response was for an endpoint, the load size of the response, etc.

Treblle also uses the requests sent to your Dashboard to calculate your API score which is a quality score that’s calculated based on the performance, quality, and security best practices for your API.

Visit https://docs.treblle.com for the complete documentation.

Security

Masking fields

Masking fields ensure certain sensitive data are removed before being sent to Treblle.

To make sure masking is done before any data leaves your server we built it into all our SDKs.

This means data masking is super fast and happens on a programming level before the API request is sent to Treblle. You can customize exactly which fields are masked when you’re integrating the SDK.

Visit the Masked fields section of the docs for the complete documentation.

Get Started

1. Sign in to Treblle.
2. Create a Treblle project.
3. Setup the SDK for your platform.

Install the SDK

To install the Treblle SDK for the Sails.js Framework, run the command below in your project directory via the terminal

npm i @octanelabs/treblle-sails-sdk

Next, open your local.js config file and add a new treblle object. This will contain your project's credentials: API Key and Project ID, which will be used to hook up your project's data to your Treblle dashboard.

  /**
 * Local environment settings
 *
 * Use this file to specify configuration settings for use while developing
 * the app on your personal system.
 *
 * For more information, check out:
 * https://sailsjs.com/docs/concepts/configuration/the-local-js-file
 */

module.exports = {

  // Any configuration settings may be overridden below, whether it's built-in Sails
  // options or custom configuration specifically for your app (e.g. Stripe, Sendgrid, etc.)

  treblle: {
    credentials: {
      apiKey: '<YOUR_TREBLLE_API_KEY>',
      projectId: '<YOUR_TREBLLE_PROJECT_ID>',
    }
  }

};

Enabling the SDK on your project

To enable the SDK, you need to import and register the middleware in your project's middleware stack. You can find this stack in your http.js config file's order array. N.B: Ensure treblle comes before router in the order stack. This allows the req and res to be set so the Treblle SDK can access it later.

/**
 * HTTP Server Settings
 * (sails.config.http)
 *
 * Configuration for the underlying HTTP server in Sails.
 * (for additional recommended settings, see `config/env/production.js`)
 *
 * For more information on configuration, check out:
 * https://sailsjs.com/config/http
 */

// Import the SDK function
const TreblleMiddleware = require('@octanelabs/treblle-sails-sdk')



module.exports.http = {

  /****************************************************************************

  //  Register the middleware function
    treblle: (() => {
      return function (request, response, next) {
        TreblleMiddleware(request, response)
        next()
      }
    })()

  },

};

And that's it! Your project has been hooked with your Treblle account and you can now enjoy the many benefits of API observability and monitoring tooling that Treblle provides.

Custom Masked Fields

The SDK provides the ability to mask custom fields you do not want to send to the Treblle dashboard. You need to open the custom.js config file and add a treblle object which contains the fields you want to mask.

  treblle: {
    mask: ['field1', 'field2']
  }

This will intelligently scan your request, response and headers for these fields and mask them for you.

Securing API Keys

The SDK also masks any API keys that may be contained in your API request and masks them for you as well. For example, if the API key you supplied in your authorization header is "Bearer abcd123456", it becomes "Bearer **" and reflects the exact length of your API key.

Enabling Debug Mode

Debug mode is useful for debugging the data your are sending to Treblle in case you encounter errors sending data to your dashboard. To enable it, add a debug: true option to the custom.js config file as shown below:

  treblle: {
    mask: ['field1', 'field2'],
    debug: true
  }

To disable debug mode, set debug to false.
