Installation

1. Install with npm

This library is distributed on npm.

npm install @kintone/rest-api-client

You can then use require or import to import the library.

// CommonJS
const { KintoneRestAPIClient } = require("@kintone/rest-api-client");
// ES modules
import { KintoneRestAPIClient } from "@kintone/rest-api-client";

2. Load UMD files from CDN (for browser environment)

[!IMPORTANT] To avoid cascading failures from the CDN, we recommend using the npm package and bundling it to your plugin/customization.

You can also load Universal Module Definition (UMD) files directly from Cybozu CDN:

• https://cybozu.dev/ja/kintone/sdk/library/cybozu-cdn/#kintone-rest-api-client

Regarding restrictions and availability, please check Cybozu CDN Policy:

• https://cybozu.dev/ja/policy/cybozu-cdn-policy/

After loading the UMD file, you can use KintoneRestAPIClient in your environment. In Kintone customization, please add the UMD file URL in the "JavaScript and CSS Customization" setting of your app.
