Acronis REST API client for Node.js

How to Install

$ npm i @apihawk-private/acronis-sdk

Prerequisites

In order to use this library (and the REST API on its own), you must have a registered client application in Acronis Cloud. You need to obtain the API client ID and API client secret key for that application and provide them in the constructor.

How to register a client application

You must have an administrator account in Acronis Cloud. You will need its username and password in order to authenticate for this endpoint.

Headers:

> POST /api/2/clients HTTP/1.1
> Host: eu2-cloud.acronis.com
> Content-Type: application/json
> Authorization: Basic base64(admin_username:admin_password)
> Accept: application/json

Body:

{
  "type": "agent",
  "tenant_id": "<YOUR_TENANT_ID>",
  "token_endpoint_auth_method": "client_secret_basic",
  "data": {
    "name": "Billia",
    "company": "Apihawk"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "tenant_id": "<TENANT_ID>",
  "client_id": "<CLIENT_ID>", // save this
  "client_secret": "<CLIENT_SECRET>", // save this
  "data": {
    "name": "Billia",
    "company": "Apihawk"
  },
  "token_endpoint_auth_method": "client_secret_basic",
  "type": "agent",
  "client_secret_expires_at": 0,
  "registration_access_token": "<SECRET>"
}

Example

Basic example:

import { AcronisClient } from '@apihawk-private/acronis-sdk';

// initialize the SDK
const acronis = new AcronisClient({
  api: 'https://eu2-cloud.acronis.com/api/2'
  clientId: '<your_client_id>',
  clientSecret: '<your_client_secret>'
});

// authenticate yourself with the Acronis API server
await acronis.authorize();

// you can now call methods which require authorization
const users = await acronis.User.getUsers();
const tenant = await acronis.Tenant.getTenantById('<tenant ID>');

You can run the example scripts which are located in the /examples folder in the following way:

$ npx ts-node examples/provision.ts

You need to provide the following environmental variables:

export ACRONIS_API=https://eu2-cloud.acronis.com/api/2
export ACRONIS_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
export ACRONIS_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>

Please use a test/demo account!

Test

You can run the integration tests:

$ npm test

Logging

You can turn on HTTP requests logging by setting the DEBUG environmental variable:

export DEBUG=acronis-sdk*
