README

Typescript / Javascript library to interaction with the Cognigy.AI 4 RESTful API.

Installing

npm i @cognigy/rest-api-client

Usage

Once the client has been installed into your Typescript / Javascript project, you have to require the client and create a new instance from it:

Typescript

import { RestAPIClient } from "@cognigy/rest-api-client";

const client = new RestAPIClient({
    baseUrl: "<api-hostname-cognigy-ai-installation>"
});

Javascript (Node.JS)

const { RestAPIClient } = require("@cognigy/rest-api-client");

const client = new RestAPIClient({
    baseUrl: "<api-hostname-cognigy-ai-installation>"
});

Authentication

In order to authenticate your client, you have to use the setCredentials function. Our client supports multiple ways to authenticate, such as:

  • API-key
  • Basic auth
  • OAuth 2

The following example shows how you can use a long-lived API key to authenticate and authorize:

Typescript / Javascript (Node.JS)

client.setCredentials({
    type: "ApiKey",
    apiKey: "<your-api-key>"
});

Making your first call

Let's assume that you have the permissions to create a new agent / project within Cognigy.AI and that you are using an API-key to authenticate and authorize calls. This is the minimal example which you can use to create a new virtual agent within Cognigy.AI:

Typescript / Javascript (Node.JS)

const project = await client.createProject({
    locale: "en-US",
    name: "My new agent"
});

This will create the new virtual agent project and return it.
