Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

npm version install size npm downloads Known Vulnerabilities GitHub top language GitHub Sponsors

Welcome to the comprehensive interface for the Rotowire API Client!

This package provides a seamless integration with the Rotowire API, allowing developers to fetch sports data with ease. It's been refactored and optimized to provide a straightforward experience. It is derived in part from the Rotowire API using Open API v3 Open API Generator.

🚨 Disclaimer

While this package provides comprehensive access to the Rotowire API, due to the vastness and complexity of the APIs, not all use cases have been exhaustively tested or verified. Users are encouraged to test the package in their specific contexts and report any issues they encounter. Contributions and feedback are always welcome!

🌟 Why Use This?

  • Full Coverage: This package offers complete access to the Rotowire API. No more partial implementations or missing features.
  • Optimized for Use: The refactoring ensures that accessing and using the API is as intuitive and straightforward as possible.
  • Full documentation: See full documentation of the API Specification.

🛠 Installation

npm install rotowire-api-client --save

⚡ Quick Start

Here's a minimal example to get you started:

import { RotowireApiClientModule } from "rotowire-api-client";

@Module({
  imports: [
    RotowireApiClientModule.forRoot({
      apiKey: process.env.ROTOWIRE_API_KEY,
      basePath: process.env.ROTOWIRE_BASE_PATH,
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

🔧 Environment Variables

Create a .env file in your project root:

ROTOWIRE_API_KEY=your_rotowire_api_key
ROTOWIRE_BASE_PATH=https://api.rotowire.com/v1

🚀 Getting Started

NestJS Implementation

To begin, you'll need your Rotowire API key.

Synchronous Configuration - Using forRoot

You can configure the RotowireApiClientModule synchronously using the forRoot method:

import { RotowireApiClientModule } from "rotowire-api-client";

@Module({
  imports: [
    RotowireApiClientModule.forRoot({
      mlb: {
        apiKey: "YOUR_MLB_API_KEY",
        basePath: "YOUR_MLB_BASE_PATH",
      },
      nba: {
        apiKey: "YOUR_NBA_API_KEY",
        basePath: "YOUR_NBA_BASE_PATH",
      },
      nfl: {
        apiKey: "YOUR_NFL_API_KEY",
        basePath: "YOUR_NFL_BASE_PATH",
      },
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Asynchronous Configuration with ConfigService - Using forRootAsync

If you're using NestJS's ConfigModule and ConfigService to manage your application's configuration, you can configure the RotowireApiClientModule asynchronously:

import { RotowireApiClientModule } from "rotowire-api-client";
import { ConfigModule, ConfigService } from "@nestjs/config";

@Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.forRoot(),
    RotowireApiClientModule.forRootAsync({
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) => ({
        mlb: {
          apiKey: configService.get<string>("MLB_API_KEY"),
          basePath: configService.get<string>("MLB_BASE_PATH"),
        },
        nba: {
          apiKey: configService.get<string>("NBA_API_KEY"),
          basePath: configService.get<string>("NBA_BASE_PATH"),
        },
        nfl: {
          apiKey: configService.get<string>("NFL_API_KEY"),
          basePath: configService.get<string>("NFL_BASE_PATH"),
        },
      }),
      inject: [ConfigService],
    }),
  ],
  exports: [RotowireApiClientModule],
})
export class AppModule {}

Using the Client in Your Service or Controller

After configuration, you can import RotowireApiClientModule into your module, then import the appropriate API and inject the service into your services or controllers. Here is an example accessing some of the Rotowire API endpoints in a controller:

import { Controller, Get, HttpException, HttpStatus } from "@nestjs/common";
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import { catchError, map } from "rxjs/operators";
import { RotowireApi } from "rotowire-api-client";

@Controller("rotowire")
export class RotowireController {
  constructor(
    private readonly rotowireService: RotowireApi.DefaultRotowireApiService
  ) {}

  @Get("news")
  getNews(): Observable<any> {
    return this.rotowireService.getNews().pipe(
      map((apiResponse) => {
        if (apiResponse.status !== 200) {
          throw new HttpException(apiResponse.data, apiResponse.status);
        }
        return apiResponse.data;
      }),
      catchError((err) => {
        throw new HttpException(err.message, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
      })
    );
  }
}

Regular Node.js Implementation

For a non-NestJS implementation, you can directly use the services provided by the package.

import { DefaultRotowireApiService } from "rotowire-api-client";

const config = {
  apiKey: "YOUR_ROTOWIRE_API_KEY",
  basePath: "https://api.rotowire.com/v1",
};

const rotowireService = new DefaultRotowireApiService(config);

// Use rotowireService to access all the Rotowire endpoint APIs

📌 Features

  • Easy Initialization: Set up and start using the client in no time.
  • Comprehensive API Access: Access every aspect of the Rotowire API.
  • Efficient Error Handling: Built-in logging and error handling mechanisms for smoother development.
  • Regular Updates: Stay in sync with the official Rotowire API.
  • TypeScript Support: Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions.

🔍 TypeScript Types and Interfaces

The package provides comprehensive TypeScript types and interfaces for all API responses. Here's an example of how to use them:

import { RotowireApi, RotowireApiTypes } from "rotowire-api-client";

@Controller("rotowire")
export class RotowireController {
  constructor(
    private readonly rotowireService: RotowireApi.DefaultRotowireApiService
  ) {}

  @Get("news")
  getNews(): Observable<RotowireApiTypes.NewsResponse> {
    return this.rotowireService
      .getNews()
      .pipe(map((apiResponse) => apiResponse.data));
  }
}

⚠️ Error Handling and Rate Limiting

The package includes built-in error handling and rate limiting support:

import { HttpException, HttpStatus } from "@nestjs/common";
import { catchError, retry } from "rxjs/operators";

@Controller("rotowire")
export class RotowireController {
  @Get("data")
  getData() {
    return this.rotowireService.someEndpoint().pipe(
      retry(3), // Retry failed requests up to 3 times
      catchError((err) => {
        if (err.response?.status === 429) {
          throw new HttpException(
            "Rate limit exceeded",
            HttpStatus.TOO_MANY_REQUESTS
          );
        }
        throw new HttpException(err.message, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
      })
    );
  }
}

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

  1. API Key Issues

    • Ensure your API key is correctly set in your environment variables
    • Check if your API key has the necessary permissions
    • Verify the API key is active and not expired
  2. Rate Limiting

    • Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
    • Cache frequently accessed data
    • Monitor your API usage
  3. Type Errors

    • Make sure you're using the correct type imports
    • Check the API documentation for the expected response types
    • Use TypeScript's type inference to help catch errors early
