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 🙏

servicem8

Developer-friendly & type-safe Typescript SDK specifically catered to leverage servicem8 API.

Summary

ServiceM8 API: Move your app forward with the ServiceM8 API

Limits and Throttling

To ensure continuous quality of service, API usage can be subject to throttling. The throttle will be applied once an API consumer reaches a certain threshold in terms of a maximum number of requests per minute. Most clients will never hit this threshold, but those that do, will get met by a HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response code.

There is a limit of 180 requests per minute, if you reach this you will receive a HTTP 429 with a text body of "Number of allowed API requests per minute exceeded". There is a limit of 20000 requests per day, if you reach this you will receive a HTTP 429 with a text body of "Number of allowed API requests per day exceeded".

We encourage all API developers to anticipate this error, and take appropriate measures like e.g. using a cached value from a previous call, or passing on a message to the end user that gets subjected to this behaviour (if any).

Limits are per Addon per account.

Table of Contents

SDK Installation

The SDK can be installed with either npm, pnpm, bun or yarn package managers.

NPM

npm add servicem8

PNPM

pnpm add servicem8

Bun

bun add servicem8

Yarn

yarn add servicem8

[!NOTE] This package is published with CommonJS and ES Modules (ESM) support.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

This SDK is also an installable MCP server where the various SDK methods are exposed as tools that can be invoked by AI applications.

Node.js v20 or greater is required to run the MCP server from npm.

Add the following server definition to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ServiceM8": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "--package", "servicem8",
        "--",
        "mcp", "start",
        "--api-key", "...",
        "--oauth2", "..."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root with the following content:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ServiceM8": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "--package", "servicem8",
        "--",
        "mcp", "start",
        "--api-key", "...",
        "--oauth2", "..."
      ]
    }
  }
}

You can also run MCP servers as a standalone binary with no additional dependencies. You must pull these binaries from available Github releases:

curl -L -o mcp-server \
    https://github.com/{org}/{repo}/releases/download/{tag}/mcp-server-bun-darwin-arm64 && \
chmod +x mcp-server

If the repo is a private repo you must add your Github PAT to download a release -H "Authorization: Bearer {GITHUB_PAT}".

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Todos": {
      "command": "./DOWNLOAD/PATH/mcp-server",
      "args": [
        "start"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For a full list of server arguments, run:

npx -y --package servicem8 -- mcp start --help

Requirements

For supported JavaScript runtimes, please consult RUNTIMES.md.

SDK Example Usage

Example

import { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";

const serviceM8 = new ServiceM8({
  security: {
    apiKey: process.env["SERVICEM8_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await serviceM8.allocationWindows.listAllocationWindows();

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security schemes globally:

| Name | Type | Scheme | Environment Variable | | -------- | ------ | ------------ | -------------------- | | apiKey | apiKey | API key | SERVICEM8_API_KEY | | oauth2 | oauth2 | OAuth2 token | SERVICEM8_OAUTH2 |

You can set the security parameters through the security optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected scheme will be used by default to authenticate with the API for all operations that support it. For example:

import { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";

const serviceM8 = new ServiceM8({
  security: {
    apiKey: process.env["SERVICEM8_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await serviceM8.allocationWindows.listAllocationWindows();

  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.

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 { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";

const serviceM8 = new ServiceM8({
  security: {
    apiKey: process.env["SERVICEM8_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await serviceM8.allocationWindows.listAllocationWindows({
    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 { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";

const serviceM8 = new ServiceM8({
  retryConfig: {
    strategy: "backoff",
    backoff: {
      initialInterval: 1,
      maxInterval: 50,
      exponent: 1.1,
      maxElapsedTime: 100,
    },
    retryConnectionErrors: false,
  },
  security: {
    apiKey: process.env["SERVICEM8_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await serviceM8.allocationWindows.listAllocationWindows();

  console.log(result);
}

run();

Error Handling

ServiceM8Error 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 { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";
import * as errors from "servicem8/models/errors";

const serviceM8 = new ServiceM8({
  security: {
    apiKey: process.env["SERVICEM8_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  try {
    const result = await serviceM8.allocationWindows.listAllocationWindows();

    console.log(result);
  } catch (error) {
    // The base class for HTTP error responses
    if (error instanceof errors.ServiceM8Error) {
      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.ErrorT) {
        console.log(error.data$.errorCode); // number
        console.log(error.data$.message); // string
      }
    }
  }
}

run();

Error Classes

Primary errors:

Network errors:

Inherit from ServiceM8Error:

  • NotFoundError: Status code 404. Applicable to 108 of 193 methods.*
  • ResponseValidationError: Type mismatch between the data returned from the server and the structure expected by the SDK. See error.rawValue for the raw value and error.pretty() for a nicely formatted multi-line string.

* Check the method documentation to see if the error is applicable.

Server Selection

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the serverURL: string optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";

const serviceM8 = new ServiceM8({
  serverURL: "https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0",
  security: {
    apiKey: process.env["SERVICEM8_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  },
});

async function run() {
  const result = await serviceM8.allocationWindows.listAllocationWindows();

  console.log(result);
}

run();

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 use the "beforeRequest" hook to to add a custom header and a timeout to requests and how to use the "requestError" hook to log errors:

import { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";
import { HTTPClient } from "servicem8/lib/http";

const httpClient = new HTTPClient({
  // fetcher takes a function that has the same signature as native `fetch`.
  fetcher: (request) => {
    return fetch(request);
  }
});

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 ServiceM8({ httpClient: 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 { ServiceM8 } from "servicem8";

const sdk = new ServiceM8({ debugLogger: console });

You can also enable a default debug logger by setting an environment variable SERVICEM8_DEBUG to true.

Development

Maturity

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.

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.
