@sekmet/unkey-api v0.26.2

Installation

npm install @unkey/api

Quickstart

1. Create a new Unkey Root Key in the settings.
2. Use the root key to initialize the client:

import { Unkey } from "@unkey/api";

const unkey = new Unkey({ rootKey: "<UNKEY_ROOT_KEY>" });

Important: Always keep your root key safe and reset it if you suspect it has been compromised.

Usage

Verifying a Key

import { verifyKey } from "@unkey/api";

const { result, error } = await verifyKey("key_123");

if (error) {
  console.error(error.message);
  // Handle potential network or bad request error
  // A link to our docs will be in the `error.docs` field
  return;
}

if (!result.valid) {
  // Do not grant access
  return;
}

// Process request
console.log(result);

Response Format

All methods return either an error or a result field, never both and never none. This approach helps with proper error handling.

Success Response

{
  result: T; // The result depends on what method you called
}

Error Response

{
  error: {
    message: string;
    docs: string; // URL to relevant documentation
  }
}

Configuration Options

Base URL

You can customize the base URL for all requests:

const unkey = new Unkey({
  rootKey: "<UNKEY_ROOT_KEY>",
  baseUrl: "https://my.domain",
});

Retries

Configure retry behavior for network errors:

const unkey = new Unkey({
  rootKey: "<UNKEY_ROOT_KEY>",
  retry: {
    attempts: 3,
    backoff: (retryCount) => retryCount * 1000,
  },
});

Disable Telemetry

To opt out of anonymous telemetry data collection:

const unkey = new Unkey({
  rootKey: "<UNKEY_ROOT_KEY>",
  disableTelemetry: true,
});
