# @jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk [![@latest](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk)

The `appstore-connect-sdk` is a Node.js module written in TypeScript that provides a convenient way for developers to interact with the [App Store Connect API](https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/api/). The module is built using [@hey-api/openapi-ts](https://github.com/hey-api/openapi-ts) and provides support for all APIs based on the OpenAPI specification.

## Kickstart information on the API

- [Automate your workflow with the App Store Connect API](https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/api/)
- [App Store Connect API Official Documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi)
- [WWDC 2018 303 - Automating App Store Connect](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/303/) (Video)

## Included in this SDK

The `appstore-connect-sdk` module includes the following features:

- [x] **JWT Authentication** - Configure with your API Key and let the SDK handle JWT token signing
- [x] **Smart Token Management** - Tokens are automatically generated, cached, and refreshed before expiration (within 2 minutes of expiry)
- [x] **Full API Coverage** - Support for all App Store Connect API endpoints through OpenAPI-generated code
- [x] **Cross-Platform** - Compatible with both Node.js and **Deno** environments

## Examples

- [Deno Example](https://github.com/jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk/tree/main/deno_example)
- [Node Example](https://github.com/jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk/tree/main/node_example)

## Installation

```bash
npm install @jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk
```

## Usage

#### 1. Import `appstore-connect-sdk`

```typescript
import { createClient, appsGetCollection } from "@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk";
```

#### 2. Create a client

Go to [App Store Connect -> Users and Access -> Keys](https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/api) and create your own key. This is also the page to find your `private key ID` and the `issuer ID`.

The SDK supports both **Team API Keys** and **Individual API Keys**:

- **Team API Keys**: Used by teams, requires `issuerId`
- **Individual API Keys**: Used by individual developers, `issuerId` is not required

After downloading your private key, open the `.p8` file containing the private key in a text editor. It should look like this:

```
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
AIGTAgEAMBMGByqGSM49AgEGCCqGSM49AwEHBHkwdwIBAQQgKEn1VBakCdHIEcdS
aBWr/9laASzaAbF2LP7wTYjHK52gCgYIKoZIzj0DAQehRANCAAQ/jf2sxRvXEhjn
srw8kJcHvO0dQ1KmUlxZvATsFsjJbdQ1yAENAWItUoeTV0rhdajcdOQxKl1OPse0
nNdXXbA4
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
```

**For Team API Keys:**

```typescript
const client = createClient({
  issuerId: "<YOUR ISSUER ID>",
  privateKeyId: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY ID>",
  privateKey: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY>",
});
```

**For Individual API Keys:**

```typescript
const client = createClient({
  // No issuerId required for Individual API Keys
  privateKeyId: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY ID>",
  privateKey: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY>",
});
```

For more information on how JWT works with the App Store Connect API, check out Apple's authentication guides:

- [Creating API Keys for App Store Connect API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/creating_api_keys_for_app_store_connect_api)
- [Generating Tokens for API Requests](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/generating_tokens_for_api_requests)
- [Revoking API Keys](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/revoking_api_keys)

**Configuration Options:**

| Option | Type | Required | Description |
|--------|------|----------|-------------|
| `issuerId` | `string` | For Team keys | Your issuer ID from App Store Connect |
| `privateKeyId` | `string` | Yes* | The ID of your private key |
| `privateKey` | `string` | Yes* | The private key content in PEM format |
| `bearerToken` | `string` | No | Provide your own JWT token instead of having the SDK generate one |
| `expirationDuration` | `number` | No | Token expiration in seconds (default: 1200 = 20 minutes, max: 20 minutes) |
| `baseUrl` | `string` | No | Override the API base URL (default: `https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com`) |

*Required unless `bearerToken` is provided.

#### 3. Make API calls

All API functions are exported from the SDK. Pass the client to each API call.

```typescript
const res = await appsGetCollection({ client });
console.log(res.data);
```

Here's the complete code example:

**For Team API Keys:**

```typescript
import { createClient, appsGetCollection } from "@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk";

const client = createClient({
  issuerId: "<YOUR ISSUER ID>",
  privateKeyId: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY ID>",
  privateKey: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY>",
});

const res = await appsGetCollection({ client });
console.log(res.data);
```

**For Individual API Keys:**

```typescript
import { createClient, appsGetCollection } from "@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk";

const client = createClient({
  // No issuerId for Individual API Keys
  privateKeyId: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY ID>",
  privateKey: "<YOUR PRIVATE KEY>",
});

const res = await appsGetCollection({ client });
console.log(res.data);
```

### Available API Functions

All API functions follow the naming convention from the OpenAPI spec. Some common examples:

```typescript
import {
  createClient,
  appsGetCollection,
  appsGetInstance,
  buildsGetCollection,
  betaTestersGetCollection,
} from "@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk";

const client = createClient({ /* your config */ });

// Get all apps
const apps = await appsGetCollection({ client });

// Get a specific app
const app = await appsGetInstance({ client, path: { id: "app-id" } });

// Get builds for an app
const builds = await buildsGetCollection({ client, query: { "filter[app]": "app-id" } });
```

### Advanced Usage

For advanced use cases, you can use the client directly for custom requests:

```typescript
import { createClient } from "@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk";

const client = createClient({ /* your config */ });

// Use the client directly for custom requests
const response = await client.get({ url: "/v1/apps" });
```

### Overriding the base URL

For integration testing purposes, you can override the base URL of the App Store Connect API by setting the `baseUrl` option. For example, you can use this to point to a local mock server.

```typescript
import { createClient } from "@jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk";

const client = createClient({
  // ...
  baseUrl: "http://localhost:3000", // All network requests are made to http://localhost:3000
});
```

## Updating OpenAPI generated code

To update the OpenAPI-generated code, run the following command:

```bash
$ sh gen-openapi.sh
```

This will generate TypeScript code through [@hey-api/openapi-ts](https://github.com/hey-api/openapi-ts) based on the OpenAPI specification file (`app_store_connect_api_4.2_openapi.json`) officially released by Apple.

## Deno Compatibility

The `appstore-connect-sdk` module is fully compatible with Deno. An example of using the `appstore-connect-sdk` module in a Deno environment can be found in the [deno_example](https://github.com/jasperaelvoet/appstore-connect-sdk/tree/main/deno_example).

We are committed to ensuring that the `appstore-connect-sdk` module remains fully compatible with both Node.js and Deno, and we will continue to work on improving its compatibility with Deno as the Deno runtime evolves.
