flotiq-api

Node.js CommonJS client for working with the Flotiq API. The package wraps Flotiq content type, content object, and media operations behind a single class built on top of axios, with request throttling and automatic retry handling for HTTP 429 responses.

Features

• Fetch and update content type definitions
• Read, publish, create, patch, and delete content objects
• Download and upload media files
• Reuse cached API clients with getFlotiqApi(...)
• Throttle write traffic with writePerSecondLimit
• Retry requests after rate limiting using the Retry-After header when present

Requirements

• Node.js
• Yarn

Installation

Install dependencies in the repository root:

yarn install flotiq-api

Usage

Create a client

const FlotiqApi = require('flotiq-api');

const api = new FlotiqApi('https://api.flotiq.com/api', 'YOUR_API_KEY', {
  batchSize: 100,
  batchSizeRead: 1000,
  writePerSecondLimit: 10,
});

Reuse a cached client

const { getFlotiqApi } = require('flotiq-api');

const api = getFlotiqApi('https://api.flotiq.com/api', 'YOUR_API_KEY', {
  batchSize: 100,
});

Clients created through getFlotiqApi(...) are cached by API URL, API key, and options.

Fetch content objects

const objects = await api.fetchContentObjects(
  'article',
  1,
  50,
  { field: 'internal.createdAt', direction: 'asc' },
  { status: { type: 'equals', filter: 'published' } }
);

Create or update content objects in batches

await api.persistContentObjectBatch('article', [
  {
    id: 'article-1',
    title: 'Hello Flotiq',
  },
]);

Upload media from a remote URL

const media = await api.uploadMediaFromUrl({
  fileName: 'hero.png',
  mime_type: 'image/png',
  url: 'https://example.com/hero.png',
});

API Overview

Constructor

new FlotiqApi(flotiqApiUrl, flotiqApiKey, options)

Supported options:

• batchSize: write batch size, defaults to 100
• batchSizeRead: read page size, defaults to 1000 or batchSize when provided
• writePerSecondLimit: maximum write throughput, defaults to 10

Content type definitions

• fetchContentTypeDefinition(name)
• fetchContentType(internal = false)
• fetchContentTypeDefs()
• updateContentTypeDefinition(name, definition)
• deleteContentTypeDefinition(name)
• checkIfClear(ctds)
• createOrUpdate(remoteCtd, contentTypeDefinition)

Content objects

• fetchContentObject(contentType, id, hydrate = 0)
• fetchContentObjects(contentType, hydrate = 0, limit, order, filters)
• persistContentObjectBatch(contentType, objects)
• patchContentObjectBatch(contentType, objects)
• deleteContentObjectBatch(contentType, objects)
• publishContentObject(contentType, object)

Media

• fetchMediaFile(mediaUrl)
• uploadMedia(form)
• uploadMediaFromUrl(contentObject, existingImages = {})

Utilities

The repository also exposes helper utilities in ./src/util.js:

• camelize(str)
• readCTDs(directory)
• shouldUpdate(relatedContentObject, replacements)
• rateLimitInterceptor(axios, logger, defaultDelay)
• throttleInterceptor(axios, delay)

Logging is handled with Winston in ./src/logger.js.

Development

Run the test suite:

yarn test

Run tests in watch mode:

yarn test:watch

Notes

• The client sends the X-Auth-Token header for authentication.
• Requests are created with the x-mode: preview header.
• Batch writes show a terminal progress bar using the progress package.
