@atproto/xrpc: atproto HTTP API Client

TypeScript client library for talking to atproto services, with Lexicon schema validation.

[!NOTE]

We recommend using lex, our type-safe SDK with Lexicon code generation, for all new projects.

Usage

import { LexiconDoc } from '@atproto/lexicon'
import { XrpcClient } from '@atproto/xrpc'

const pingLexicon = {
  lexicon: 1,
  id: 'io.example.ping',
  defs: {
    main: {
      type: 'query',
      description: 'Ping the server',
      parameters: {
        type: 'params',
        properties: { message: { type: 'string' } },
      },
      output: {
        encoding: 'application/json',
        schema: {
          type: 'object',
          required: ['message'],
          properties: { message: { type: 'string' } },
        },
      },
    },
  },
} satisfies LexiconDoc

const xrpc = new XrpcClient('https://ping.example.com', [
  // Any number of lexicon here
  pingLexicon,
])

const res1 = await xrpc.call('io.example.ping', {
  message: 'hello world',
})
res1.encoding // => 'application/json'
res1.body // => {message: 'hello world'}

With a custom fetch handler

import { XrpcClient } from '@atproto/xrpc'

const session = {
  serviceUrl: 'https://ping.example.com',
  token: '<my-token>',
  async refreshToken() {
    const { token } = await fetch('https://auth.example.com/refresh', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.token}` },
    }).then((res) => res.json())

    this.token = token

    return token
  },
}

const sessionBasedFetch: FetchHandler = async (
  url: string,
  init: RequestInit,
) => {
  const headers = new Headers(init.headers)

  headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${session.token}`)

  const response = await fetch(new URL(url, session.serviceUrl), {
    ...init,
    headers,
  })

  if (response.status === 401) {
    // Refresh token, then try again.
    const newToken = await session.refreshToken()
    headers.set('Authorization', `Bearer ${newToken}`)
    return fetch(new URL(url, session.serviceUrl), { ...init, headers })
  }

  return response
}

const xrpc = new XrpcClient(sessionBasedFetch, [
  // Any number of lexicon here
  pingLexicon,
])
