The official TypeScript/JavaScript SDK for the Kombo Unified API
Readme
@kombo-api/sdk
Developer-friendly & type-safe TypeScript SDK for the Kombo Unified API.
[!NOTE] The Kombo TypeScript SDK is currently in beta. The core API structure, methods, and input/output objects are considered stable. We may still make minor adjustments such as renames to exported type classes or fixes for code generator oddities, but all changes will be clearly documented in the changelog. We do not foresee any blockers for production use.

SDK Installation
The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.
NPM
npm add @kombo-api/sdkPNPM
pnpm add @kombo-api/sdkBun
bun add @kombo-api/sdkYarn
yarn add @kombo-api/sdk[!NOTE] This package is published as an ES Module (ESM) only. For applications using CommonJS, use
await import("@kombo-api/sdk")to import and use this package.
SDK Example Usage
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const kombo = new Kombo({
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
});
async function run() {
const result = await kombo.general.checkApiKey();
console.log(result);
}
run();Specifying an integration ID
The majority of Kombo API endpoints are for interacting with a single "integration" (i.e., a single connection to one your customers' systems). For using these, make sure to specify the integration_id parameter when initializing the SDK:
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const kombo = new Kombo({
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
integration_id: "workday:HWUTwvyx2wLoSUHphiWVrp28",
});
async function run() {
const result = await kombo.hris.getEmployees();
console.log(result);
}
run();Region Selection
The Kombo platform is available in two regions: Europe and United States.
By default, the SDK will use the EU region. If you're using the US region (hosted under api.us.kombo.dev), make sure to specify the server parameter when initializing the SDK.
Example
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const kombo = new Kombo({
server: "us",
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",

Pagination
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support pagination. To use pagination, you
make your SDK calls as usual, but the returned response object will also be an
async iterable that can be consumed using the for await...of
syntax.
Here's an example of one such pagination call:
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const kombo = new Kombo({
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
});
async function run() {
const result = await kombo.general.getIntegrationFields({
integration_id: "<id>",
});
for await (const page of result) {
console.log(page);
}
}
run();
Error Handling
KomboError is the base class for all HTTP error responses. It has the following properties:
| Property | Type | Description |
| ------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| error.message | string | Error message |
| error.statusCode | number | HTTP response status code eg 404 |
| error.headers | Headers | HTTP response headers |
| error.body | string | HTTP body. Can be empty string if no body is returned. |
| error.rawResponse | Response | Raw HTTP response |
| error.data$ | | Optional. Some errors may contain structured data. See Error Classes. |
Example
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
import * as errors from "@kombo-api/sdk/models/errors";
const kombo = new Kombo({
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
});
async function run() {
try {
const result = await kombo.general.checkApiKey();
console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
// The base class for HTTP error responses
if (error instanceof errors.KomboError) {
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.statusCode);
console.log(error.body);
console.log(error.headers);
// Depending on the method different errors may be thrown
if (error instanceof errors.KomboGeneralError) {
console.log(error.data$.status); // models.KomboGeneralErrorStatus
console.log(error.data$.error); // models.KomboGeneralErrorError
}
}
}
}
run();
Error Classes
Primary error:
KomboError: The base class for HTTP error responses.
Network errors:
ConnectionError: HTTP client was unable to make a request to a server.RequestTimeoutError: HTTP request timed out due to an AbortSignal signal.RequestAbortedError: HTTP request was aborted by the client.InvalidRequestError: Any input used to create a request is invalid.UnexpectedClientError: Unrecognised or unexpected error.
Inherit from KomboError:
KomboAtsError: The standard error response with the error codes for the ATS use case. Applicable to 27 of 58 methods.*KomboHrisError: The standard error response with the error codes for the HRIS use case. Applicable to 17 of 58 methods.*KomboGeneralError: The standard error response with just the platform error codes. Applicable to 14 of 58 methods.*ResponseValidationError: Type mismatch between the data returned from the server and the structure expected by the SDK. Seeerror.rawValuefor the raw value anderror.pretty()for a nicely formatted multi-line string.
* Check the method documentation to see if the error is applicable.
Retries
Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.
To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a retryConfig object to the call:
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const kombo = new Kombo({
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
});
async function run() {
const result = await kombo.general.checkApiKey({
retries: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
});
console.log(result);
}
run();
If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can provide a retryConfig at SDK initialization:
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const kombo = new Kombo({
retry_config: {
strategy: "backoff",
backoff: {
initialInterval: 1,
maxInterval: 50,
exponent: 1.1,
maxElapsedTime: 100,
},
retryConnectionErrors: false,
},
api_key: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
});
async function run() {
const result = await kombo.general.checkApiKey();
console.log(result);
}
run();
Standalone functions
All the methods listed above are available as standalone functions. These functions are ideal for use in applications running in the browser, serverless runtimes or other environments where application bundle size is a primary concern. When using a bundler to build your application, all unused functionality will be either excluded from the final bundle or tree-shaken away.
To read more about standalone functions, check FUNCTIONS.md.

Custom HTTP Client
The TypeScript SDK makes API calls using an HTTPClient that wraps the native
Fetch API. This
client is a thin wrapper around fetch and provides the ability to attach hooks
around the request lifecycle that can be used to modify the request or handle
errors and response.
The HTTPClient constructor takes an optional fetcher argument that can be
used to integrate a third-party HTTP client or when writing tests to mock out
the HTTP client and feed in fixtures.
The following example shows how to:
- route requests through a proxy server using undici's ProxyAgent
- use the
"beforeRequest"hook to add a custom header and a timeout to requests - use the
"requestError"hook to log errors
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
import { ProxyAgent } from "undici";
import { HTTPClient } from "@kombo-api/sdk/lib/http";
const dispatcher = new ProxyAgent("http://proxy.example.com:8080");
const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
// 'fetcher' takes a function that has the same signature as native 'fetch'.
fetcher: (input, init) =>
// 'dispatcher' is specific to undici and not part of the standard Fetch API.
fetch(input, { ...init, dispatcher } as RequestInit),
});
httpClient.addHook("beforeRequest", (request) => {
const nextRequest = new Request(request, {
signal: request.signal || AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
});
nextRequest.headers.set("x-custom-header", "custom value");
return nextRequest;
});
httpClient.addHook("requestError", (error, request) => {
console.group("Request Error");
console.log("Reason:", `${error}`);
console.log("Endpoint:", `${request.method} ${request.url}`);
console.groupEnd();
});
const sdk = new Kombo({ http_client: httpClient });Debugging
You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.
You can pass a logger that matches console's interface as an SDK option.
[!WARNING] Beware that debug logging will reveal secrets, like API tokens in headers, in log messages printed to a console or files. It's recommended to use this feature only during local development and not in production.
import { Kombo } from "@kombo-api/sdk";
const sdk = new Kombo({ debug_logger: console });Requirements

Contributions
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
