SuperSaaS NodeJS SDK

Online bookings/appointments/calendars in NodeJS using the SuperSaaS scheduling platform - https://supersaas.com

The SuperSaaS API provides services that can be used to add online booking and scheduling functionality to an existing website or CRM software.

NOTE: Versions 2+ uses promises instead of callbacks and thus use the old API client or update your code using promises.

Prerequisites

1. Register for a (free) SuperSaaS account, and
2. get your account name and API key on the Account Info page.

Dependencies

NodeJS 20.11.1 or greater.

No external packages. Only the native http/https modules are used.

Installation

The SuperSaaS NodeJS API Client is available as a module from the NPM Registry and can be included in your project package. Note, the supersaas-api-client may update major versions with breaking changes, so it's recommended to use a major version when expressing the gem dependency. e.g.

{
    "dependencies": {
        "supersaas-api-client": "^2.0"
    }
}

$ npm install supersaas-api-client

Configuration

Require the module.

let supersaas = require('supersaas-api-client');
let Client = supersaas.Client;

The Client can be used either (1) through the singleton Instance property, e.g.

Client.configure({
  accountName: 'account',
  api_key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  host: 'http://test',
  dryRun: true,
  verbose: true
})
Client.Instance.accountName; //=> 'account'

Or else by (2) simply creating a new client instance manually, e.g.

let client = new Client({accountName: 'account', api_key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'});

Note, ensure that configure is called before Instance, otherwise the client will be initialized with configuration defaults.

If the client isn't configured explicitly, it will use default ENV variables for the account name, api key, and user name.

process.env.SSS_API_ACCOUNT_NAME = 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';
process.env.SSS_API_KEY = 'your-supersaas-account-api-key';
SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.accountName; //=> 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';
SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.api_key; //=> 'your-env-supersaas-account-name';

All configuration options can be individually set on the client.

SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
SuperSaaS.Client.Instance.verbose = true;
...

API Methods

Details of the data structures, parameters, and values can be found on the developer documentation site:

https://www.supersaas.com/info/dev

The client returns a Promise, and you can either use await in an async function:

let userUrl = await Client.Instance.users.create(attributes, userId, webhook);

Or another option is to use then, catch, finally

Client.Instance.users.create(attributes).then(userUrl => { })

List Schedules

Get all account schedules:

Definition:

Client.Instance.schedules.list()

Example:

Client.Instance.schedules.list().then(data => { 
    console.log(data); //=> ["Schedule", ...]
});

List Resource

Get all services/resources by scheduleId:

Definition:

Client.Instance.schedules.resources(scheduleId)

Example:

Client.Instance.schedules.resources(12345).then(data => { 
    console.log(data); //=> ["Resource", ...]
});

Note: does not work for capacity type schedules.

List Fields of a Schedule

Get all the available fields of a schedule by scheduleId:

Definition:

Client.Instance.schedules.resources(scheduleId)

Example

Client.Instance.schedules.fieldList(12345).then(data => {
    console.log(data); //=> ["FieldList", ...]
});

Create User

Create a user with user attributes params. If webhook=true is present it will trigger any webhooks connected to the account. To avoid a ‘create’ action from being automatically interpreted as an ‘update’, you can add the parameter duplicate=raise, then error 422 Unprocessable Entity will be raised. If in your database your user has id 1234 then you can supply a foreign key in format 1234fk in userId (optional) which you can use to identify user: If validation fails for any field then error 422 Unprocessable Entity will be raised and any additional information will be printed to your log. Data fields that you can supply can be found here.

Definition:

Client.Instance.users.create(attributes, userId = null, webhook = false, duplicate = null)

Example:

Client.Instance.users.create({"name": ..., ...}, null, true).then(data => { 
    console.log(data); //=> 'https://www.supersaas.com/api/users/12345678.json'
});

Update User

Update a user by userId with user attributes params. If webhook=true is present it will trigger any webhooks connected to the account. To avoid automatically creating a new record, you can add the parameter notfound=error or notfound=ignore to return a 404 Not Found or 200 OK respectively. If the userId does not exist 404 error will be raised. You only need to specify the attributes you wish to update:

Definition:

Client.Instance.users.update((userId, attributes, webhook = null, notFound = null))

Example:

Client.Instance.users.update(12345, {"name": ..., ...}, null).then(data => { 
    console.log(data); //=> null
});

Get User

Examples

The ./examples folder contains npm executable scripts demonstrating how to use the API Client for common requests.

The examples will require your account name and api key. These can be set in the example files. To run the examples use:

node example.js

Testing

The HTTP requests can be stubbed by configuring the client with the dryRun option, e.g.

Client.Instance.dryRun = true;

Note, stubbed requests always invoke callbacks with an empty Array.

The Client also provides a lastRequest attribute containing the options object from the last performed request, e.g.

Client.Instance.lastRequest; //=> {"method": ..., "headers": ..., "path": ...}

The headers, body, path, etc. of the last request can be inspected for assertion in tests, or for troubleshooting failed API requests.

For additional troubleshooting, the client can be configured with the verbose option, which will log any JSON contents in the request and response to the console, e.g.

Client.Instance.verbose = true;

To run the client tests, you will need to install mocha:

npx mocha

Error Handling

The API Client throws errors to indicate success or failure status, use try-catch

try {
    await Client.Instance.appointments.create(12345, 67890, {bad_field_name: ''});
} catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message); //=> Request failed with status 400

}

Explanation of the error codes returned:

422 HTTP Request Error: Unprocessable Content, check the parameters are correct
400 HTTP Request Error: Bad Request, usually a malformed request
401 HTTP Request Error: Unauthorised, check that you have the rights to make the request
404 HTTP Request Error: Not Found (non existent user id for example)
501 Not yet implemented for service type schedule
403 Unauthorized, check your credentials
405 Not available for capacity type schedule
