DocScout

NodeJS client for HelpScout Docs API written in TypeScript

Install

$ npm install docscout

Usage

Functional

import { listCollections } from 'docscout/collections'
 
const apiToken = process.env.HELPSCOUT_DOCS_API_TOKEN;
 
(async () => {
  try {
    const collectionsEnvelope = await listCollections(apiToken, { visibility: 'private', sort: 'createdAt', order: 'asc'  });
    console.log(JSON.stringify(collectionsEnvelope, null, 2));
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

OOP Client Instance

The OOP Client has two subtle differences from the functional approach:

• Stores the API token internally so that you don't have to pass it in every single function call.
• Unboxes the envelope data from the API responses. More info about HS Docs Data Envelopes

import DocscoutClient from 'docscout'
 
const apiToken = process.env.HELPSCOUT_DOCS_API_TOKEN;
 
(async () => {
  try {
    const docscoutClient = new DocscoutClient(apiToken);
    const collections = await docscoutClient.listCollections({
      visibility: 'private',
      sort: 'createdAt',
      order: 'desc'
    });
    console.log(JSON.stringify(collections, null, 2));
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();
 

API

Version 1 of this client focuses on fetching data, i.e. the API Reads.
We'll happily welcome your PRs to improve this client.
