LearnWorlds SDK

A TypeScript SDK for integrating with the LearnWorlds API in Node.js backends with full OAuth2 support.

Installation

pnpm install

Authentication

The SDK supports OAuth2 authentication with multiple grant types:

Client Credentials Grant (Server-to-Server)

Best for server-side applications that need to access the API without user context:

import { LearnWorldsClient } from 'learnworlds-sdk';

const client = new LearnWorldsClient({
  schoolDomain: 'yourschool',
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
  apiHost: 'api.yourschool.learnworlds.com', // Your unique API host
});

// Authenticate with client credentials
const tokens = await client.auth.authenticateWithClientCredentials('read_courses');

// Now you can make API calls
const courses = await client.getAllCourses();

Authorization Code Grant (Web Apps)

Best for web applications where users log in through LearnWorlds:

import { LearnWorldsClient } from 'learnworlds-sdk';

const client = new LearnWorldsClient({
  schoolDomain: 'yourschool',
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
  apiHost: 'api.yourschool.learnworlds.com', // Your unique API host
  redirectUri: 'https://yourapp.com/callback',
});

// Step 1: Get authorization URL
const authUrl = client.auth.getAuthorizationUrl('read_user_profile');
// Redirect user to authUrl

// Step 2: After user authorizes, exchange code for token
const tokens = await client.auth.exchangeAuthorizationCode({
  code: 'authorization-code-from-callback',
  redirectUri: 'https://yourapp.com/callback',
});

Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant (Trusted Apps)

Best for trusted applications where you collect username/password directly:

const tokens = await client.auth.authenticateWithPassword({
  username: '[email protected]',
  password: 'user-password',
  scope: 'read_user_profile',
});

Using Existing Tokens

const client = new LearnWorldsClient({
  schoolDomain: 'yourschool',
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
  apiHost: 'api.yourschool.learnworlds.com', // Your unique API host
  accessToken: 'existing-access-token',
  refreshToken: 'existing-refresh-token',
});

Token Management

// Get current tokens (for persistence)
const tokens = client.auth.getTokens();

// Set tokens (for session restoration)
client.auth.setTokens({
  accessToken: 'stored-access-token',
  refreshToken: 'stored-refresh-token',
  expiresAt: new Date('2024-12-31T00:00:00Z'),
});

// Check if authenticated
if (client.auth.isAuthenticated()) {
  // Make API calls
}

// Manually refresh token
const newTokens = await client.auth.refreshAccessToken();

// Revoke token
await client.auth.revokeToken();

Automatic Token Refresh

The SDK automatically refreshes expired tokens if a refresh token is available. You can also provide a callback to persist updated tokens:

const client = new LearnWorldsClient({
  schoolDomain: 'yourschool',
  clientId: 'your-client-id',
  clientSecret: 'your-client-secret',
  apiHost: 'api.yourschool.learnworlds.com', // Your unique API host
  onTokenRefresh: async (tokens) => {
    // Save tokens to database/storage
    await saveTokensToDatabase(tokens);
  },
});

API Usage

Once authenticated, you can use the API methods:

// Get all courses
const courses = await client.getAllCourses({ page: 1, per_page: 10 });

// Get all bundles
const bundles = await client.getAllBundles();

// Create a user
const newUser = await client.createUser({
  email: '[email protected]',
  first_name: 'John',
  last_name: 'Doe',
  tags: ['premium'],
});

// Update a user
const updatedUser = await client.updateUser('user-id', {
  first_name: 'Jane',
  bio: 'Updated bio',
});

// Update user tags
await client.updateUserTags('user-id', {
  tags: ['premium', 'active'],
  action: 'add',
});

// Enroll user to product
const enrollment = await client.enrollUserToProduct({
  user_id: 'user-id',
  product_id: 'course-id',
  product_type: 'course',
  enrollment_type: 'free',
});

// Unenroll user from product
await client.unenrollUserFromProduct({
  user_id: 'user-id',
  product_id: 'course-id',
  product_type: 'course',
});

API Methods

Courses

• getAllCourses(params?: PaginationParams): Promise<Course[]>
• getCourse(courseId: string): Promise<Course>

Bundles

• getAllBundles(params?: PaginationParams): Promise<Bundle[]>
• getBundle(bundleId: string): Promise<Bundle>

Users

• createUser(userData: CreateUserRequest): Promise<User>
• updateUser(userId: string, userData: UpdateUserRequest): Promise<User>
• updateUserTags(userId: string, tagData: UpdateUserTagsRequest): Promise<User>
• getUser(userId: string): Promise<User>
• getUserEnrollments(userId: string): Promise<Enrollment[]>

Enrollments

• enrollUserToProduct(enrollmentData: EnrollUserRequest): Promise<Enrollment>
• unenrollUserFromProduct(unenrollmentData: UnenrollUserRequest): Promise<void>

Error Handling

The SDK throws LearnWorldsError instances with detailed error information:

try {
  const courses = await client.getAllCourses();
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof LearnWorldsError) {
    console.error('Status:', error.status);
    console.error('Code:', error.code);
    console.error('Message:', error.message);
    console.error('Details:', error.details);
  }
}

Development

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the project
pnpm run build

# Run tests
pnpm run test

# Run tests in watch mode
pnpm run test:watch

# Type checking
pnpm run typecheck

# Linting
pnpm run lint

Authentication

The SDK uses Bearer token authentication. You need to provide your LearnWorlds API key when creating a client instance.

TypeScript Support

The SDK is written in TypeScript and provides full type definitions for all API methods, request/response objects, and error types.

Important Note on URLs

The LearnWorlds API uses two different base URLs:

• OAuth2 endpoints (authorization, token exchange): https://yourschool.learnworlds.com
• API endpoints (courses, users, etc.): https://your-unique-api-host/v2

Each user gets a unique API host from LearnWorlds. You must provide both the schoolDomain (for OAuth2) and apiHost (for API calls) in the configuration.

Getting Your API Host

When you request API credentials from LearnWorlds (under Settings → Developers → API), you'll receive:

• Client ID and Client Secret
• Your unique API host URL (e.g., api.xyz123.learnworlds.com)

API Version

This SDK uses LearnWorlds API v2. Version 1 is no longer supported.
