SDK JS-Client
Introduction
The Knowledge js-client allows you to call an Inbenta API endpoint quickly and easily with javascript.
Note
All examples shown are set in a Production environment.
Setup
There are two ways you can set up the JS Client: when a SDK is already initialized, or standalone.
With a SDK initialized
If a SDK is already initialized, this means that you already have a client that you can use. As a consequence, there is no need to initialize it again. To access the JS-Client, insert the following before the closing <body> tag of your HTML:
var client = sdk.clientStandalone
Insert the following code in the <head> section of your HTML. If you need compatibility with IE11 browsers, use the version with polyfills:
<script src="https://sdk.inbenta.io/km/<version>/inbenta-km-client.js" integrity="<hash-type>-<hash>" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>If you do not need compatibility with IE11 browsers, you can use the version without polyfills:
<script src="https://sdk.inbenta.io/km/<version>/inbenta-km-client-no-polyfills.js" integrity="<hash-type>-<hash>" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>Then, insert the following before your closing <body> tag (See full example in Demonstration below):
var client = InbentaKmClient.createFromDomainKey(<your_Domain_key>, <your_API_Key>);Versions
When you set up the SDK for your Inbenta product, you need to specify the version like this:
<script src="https://sdk.inbenta.io/km/<version>/inbenta-km-client.js" integrity="<hash-type>-<hash>" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
Versions are written in MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
Important
Inbenta strongly recommends that you use a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version.
Examples
- If only MAJOR is set, this script will use the highest available MINOR version.
<script src="https://sdk.inbenta.io/km/1/inbenta-km-client.js"></script> - If MAJOR.MINOR are set, this script will use the highest available PATCH version.
<script src="https://sdk.inbenta.io/km/1.2/inbenta-km-client.js"></script> - If you specify the full version, only this exact version will be used.
<script src="https://sdk.inbenta.io/km/1.2.3/inbenta-km-client.js" integrity="sha384-549ni4+Y7QvqPcjqufrsbnQALdf0r62sYlmL15ZqIQBkwoWM9NKPEf6uDOBwIXmu" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
Note
An SRI check is available for this SDK. For more information, see the SDK Subresource Integrity page. Remember that SRI only works with full versions.
Demonstration
<body>
<div id="inbenta">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var access_token = "<your_access_token>"; //Get it from /auth endpoint with the secret and API Key
var options = {
userType:'2',
environment:'preproduction'
};
var inbentaKey = "<your_API_Key>";
var client = InbentaKmClient.createFromAccessToken(<your_access_token>, <your_API_Key>, options);
client.search('This is my test query', {}).then( function (response) {
// Do something with the results
});
</script>
</body>Options
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| userType | integer | 0 | Defines the profile identifier from the Knowledge instance knowledge base. It will be used in client as x-inbenta-user-type header to make API requests. For more information about this header, see the API Routes. |
| environment | String | production | Defines source environment from the Knowledge instance knowledge base. It will be used in client as x-inbenta-env header. For more information about this header, see the API docs. |
Methods
All JS Client methods are described in the following page: JS Client Methods.
Handling Errors
Click here to see a list of API error codes.
// Search example
client.search('movies').then(function(response){
response.data.results.forEach(function(result) {
console.log(`Result(${result.id}): ${result.title}`);
});
}).catch(function (error) {
if (error.response) {
// The request was made and the server responded with a status code
// that falls out of the range of 2xx
console.log(error.response.data);
console.log(error.response.status);
console.log(error.response.headers);
} else if (error.request) {
// The request was made but no response was received
// `error.request` is an instance of XMLHttpRequest in the browser and an instance of
// http.ClientRequest in node.js
console.log(error.request);
} else {
// Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error
console.log('Error', error.message);
}
console.log(error.config);
