ThrustCurve.org API Client

A TypeScript client for the ThrustCurve.org API. This client provides type-safe access to the ThrustCurve.org motor and simulator file database.

For details, see the API documentation.

Installation

npm install @thrustcurve/api1

Usage

First, import and instantiate the API client:

import { ThrustCurveAPI } from '@thrustcurve/api1';

const api = new ThrustCurveAPI();

Examples

Motor Metadata

// Get metadata for all motors
const metadata = await api.metadata();

// Get metadata for motors that match the criteria
const filteredMetadata = await api.metadata({
  manufacturer: 'Estes',
  impulseClass: 'C',
  type: 'SU'
});

Search Motors

const searchResults = await api.searchMotors({
  manufacturer: 'Estes',
  impulseClass: 'C',
  diameter: 18,
  type: 'SU',
  availability: 'regular'
});

Download Motor Data

const motorData = await api.downloadMotorData({
  motorIds: ['5f4294d20002310000000015'],
  format: 'RASP',
  data: 'both'
});

Saved Rockets

// Get rockets from account
const rockets = await api.getRockets({
  username: '[email protected]',
  password: 'password'
});

// Save rockets to account
const savedRockets = await api.saveRockets({
  username: '[email protected]',
  password: 'password',
  rockets: [{
    name: 'Alpha III',
    bodyDiameterM: 0.025,
    mmtDiameterMm: 18,
    mmtLengthMm: 70,
    weightKg: 0.045,
    cd: 0.25,
    guideLengthM: 1.0
  }]
});

Motor Recommendations

const recommendations = await api.motorGuide({
  rocket: {
    name: 'Alpha III',
    bodyDiameterM: 0.025,
    mmtDiameterMm: 18,
    mmtLengthMm: 70,
    weightKg: 0.045,
    cd: 0.25,
    guideLengthM: 1.0
  },
  manufacturer: 'Estes',
  type: 'SU',
  availability: 'regular'
});

Error Handling

The API client throws errors for non-200 responses. You should wrap API calls in try/catch blocks:

try {
  const data = await api.searchMotors({ /* ... */ });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('API request failed:', error);
}

API Reference

The client provides the following methods:

• metadata(params?: MetadataRequest): Get metadata about motors
• searchMotors(criteria: SearchRequest): Search for motors
• downloadMotorData(request: DownloadRequest): Download motor data files
• getRockets(credentials: GetRocketsRequest): Get saved rockets
• saveRockets(request: SaveRocketsRequest): Save rockets
• motorGuide(request: MotorGuideRequest): Get motor recommendations
