Foil Node Library

The Foil Node library provides convenient access to the Foil API from applications running in Node.js. It includes a typed client for Sessions, Fingerprints, Organizations, organization API key management, webhook endpoints, and sealed token verification.

The library also provides:

• a fast configuration path using FOIL_SECRET_KEY
• helpers for cursor-based pagination
• structured API errors and built-in sealed token verification
• webhook endpoint management, test sends, event delivery history, and webhook signature verification

Documentation

See the Foil docs and API reference.

Installation

You don't need this source code unless you want to modify the package. If you just want to use the package, run:

npm install @abxy/foil-server

Requirements

• Node 18+

Usage

Use FOIL_SECRET_KEY or an explicit secretKey:

import { Foil } from "@abxy/foil-server";

const client = new Foil({
  secretKey: process.env.FOIL_SECRET_KEY,
});

const page = await client.sessions.list({ verdict: "bot", limit: 25 });
const session = await client.sessions.get("sid_123");
await client.sessions.attachClientUser("sid_123", "user_123");
await client.sessions.clearClientUser("sid_123");

console.log(page.has_more, page.next_cursor);
console.log(session.decision.risk_score, session.highlights[0]?.summary);

Sealed token verification

import { safeVerifyFoilToken } from "@abxy/foil-server";

const result = safeVerifyFoilToken(
  sealedToken,
  process.env.FOIL_SECRET_KEY,
);

if (!result.ok) {
  console.error(result.error);
  return;
}

console.log(result.data.decision.verdict, result.data.decision.risk_score);

Pagination

for await (const session of client.sessions.iter({ search: "signup" })) {
  console.log(session.id, session.latest_decision.verdict);
}

Fingerprints

const page = await client.fingerprints.list({ sort: "seen_count" });
const fingerprint = await client.fingerprints.get("vid_123");

console.log(fingerprint.lifecycle.last_seen_at);

Organizations

const organization = await client.organizations.get("org_123");
const updated = await client.organizations.update("org_123", { name: "New Name" });

Organization API keys

const created = await client.organizations.apiKeys.create("org_123", {
  name: "Production",
  type: "secret",
  environment: "live",
  scopes: ["sessions:list", "sessions:read"],
});

await client.organizations.apiKeys.revoke("org_123", created.id);

Webhooks

const endpoint = await client.webhooks.createEndpoint("org_123", {
  name: "Production alerts",
  url: "https://example.com/foil/webhook",
  event_types: ["session.result.persisted"],
});

const events = await client.webhooks.listEvents("org_123", {
  endpoint_id: endpoint.id,
  type: "session.result.persisted",
});

console.log(events.items[0]?.webhook_deliveries[0]?.status);

Verifying webhook deliveries

Every webhook delivery is signed with your endpoint's signing secret. Verify the X-Foil-Timestamp and X-Foil-Signature headers against the raw request body before trusting the payload:

import { parseWebhookEvent, verifyAndParseWebhookEvent, verifyWebhookSignature } from "@abxy/foil-server";

const valid = verifyWebhookSignature({
  secret: process.env.FOIL_WEBHOOK_SECRET!,
  timestamp: request.headers["x-foil-timestamp"],
  rawBody,
  signature: request.headers["x-foil-signature"],
});

// Verify and parse in one step. Throws if the signature is invalid or expired.
const event = verifyAndParseWebhookEvent({
  secret: process.env.FOIL_WEBHOOK_SECRET!,
  timestamp: request.headers["x-foil-timestamp"],
  rawBody,
  signature: request.headers["x-foil-signature"],
});

if (event.type === "session.result.persisted") {
  console.log(event.data);
}

// Parse a payload you have already verified.
const parsed = parseWebhookEvent(rawBody);

Signatures older than five minutes are rejected by default. Pass maxAgeSeconds to change the tolerance.

Error handling

import { FoilApiError } from "@abxy/foil-server";

try {
  await client.sessions.list({ limit: 999 });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof FoilApiError) {
    console.error(error.status, error.code, error.message);
  }
}
