Arena-typed
Unofficial are.na API wrapper for TypeScript
Installation
npm install arena-typed
Quick start
To get started, create a new Arena instance and use its methods.
Note: Some actions require authentication. To obtain an access token:
- Create a new application on are.na
- Copy the value named
Personal access token - Pass it to the
Arena constructor ex. new Arena('your-access-token')
import { Arena } from 'arena-typed';
const arena = new Arena();
const channel = await arena.channels.get('arena-influences');
console.log(channel.title);
// or using promises
arena.channels.get('arena-influences').then((channel) => {
console.log(channel.title);
});
Usage
The Arena class has four properties which are instances of subclasses with their own methods:
- users
- search
- blocks
- channels
Params
Some methods support pagination (optional), specified by pagination. Pass as an object like so:
{ page: 2, per: 15 }

| following(username: string) | Promise<User[]> | Get a list of the specified user's followed channels and users |
Examples
arena.users.get('testing-arena').then((users) => console.log('result', users));
arena.users.channels('testing-arena').then((channels) => console.log('result', channels));
arena.users.followers('testing-arena').then((followers) => console.log('result', followers));
arena.users.following('testing-arena').then((following) => console.log('result', following));
Search
| Method | Returns | Description |

| blocks(blocks: string) | Promise<Block[]> | Search for blocks |
Examples
arena.search.all('testing').then((search) => console.log('result', search));
arena.search.users('testing-arena').then((search) => console.log('result', search));
arena.search.channels('arena-influences').then((search) => console.log('result', search));
arena.search.blocks('testing').then((search) => console.log('result', search));
Blocks
| Method | Returns | Description |

Examples
arena.blocks.channels(1234).then((channels) => console.log('channels', channels));
arena.blocks.create('new-channel-name', { source: 'new title' }).then((blocks) => console.log('result', blocks));
arena.blocks
.update(123456, { title: 'updated title', description: 'updated description' })
.catch((error) => console.log(error.message));
arena.blocks.delete('channel-name', 12345).catch((error) => console.log(error.message));
Channels
| Method | Returns | Description |
|---|
| get (channel: string, pagination?: PaginationParams) | Promise<Channel> | Get a channel |
| thumb(channel: string) | Promise<Channel | Get basic information about a channel |
| connections(channel: string, pagination?: PaginationParams) | Promise<Connection> | Get all the connections within a channel |
| contents(channel: string, pagination?: PaginationParams) | Promise<(Channel \| Block)[]> | Get only the contents of a channel (ex. no collaborators) |
| create(data: ChannelCreationData) | Promise<Channel> | Create a channel |

| addCollaborators(channel: string, users: CollaboratorData) | Promise<User[]> | Add collaborators to the specified channel |
| removeCollaborators(channel: string, users: CollaboratorData) | Promise<User[]> | Delete specified collaborators from the specified channel. Note: On the official documentaion, this request is supposed to remove users that are not specified in users. However, it currently works the other way around |
Examples
arena.channels.get('channel-name').then((channel) => console.log('channel', channel));
arena.channels.thumb('channel-name').then((channel) => console.log('channel', channel));
arena.channels.connections('channel-name', { per, 20, page: 2 }).then((channels) => console.log('channel', channels));
arena.channels.contents('channel-name', { per: 3 }).then((contents) => console.log('contents', contents));
arena.channels
.create({ title: 'new channel name', status: 'public' })
.then((channel) => console.log('result', channel));
arena.channels
.update('current-channel-name', { title: 'updated channel name' })
.then((channel) => console.log('result', channel));
arena.channels
.delete('channel-name')
.then(() => console.log('success'))
.catch((error) => console.log(error.message));
arena.channels
.createBlock('channel-name', { source: 'new title' })
.then((channels) => console.log('result', channels));
arena.channels.collaborators('channel-name').then((users) => console.log('collaborators', users));
arena.channels
.addCollaborators('channel-name', { ids: [12345] })
.then((channels) => console.log('result', channels));
arena.channels
.removeCollaborators('updated-channel-name', { ids: [12345] })
.then((channels) => console.log('result', channels));
