Introduction

⚡️ Superface will help you to quickly use and manage integrations, so you can focus on your application.

💸 Developing integrations over and over is expensive. Use integrations developed by others as you'd use npm packages or crates.

🔐 You data is safe, Superface isn't proxy.

🎓 This approach gives you a framework to decouple the lifecycle of your application and integrations it uses.

💥 Ready for more? Use advanced features like provider failover and monitoring.

🧐 Superface is a language and a protocol for abstracting integrations to application use-cases. It allows use-case discovery and distribution of integration code at runtime.

Fast track ⏱️

The easiest way to start is with OneSDK for Node.js and with an existing use-case. Let's say, you want to see what repositories Superface has on GitHub.

Install Node.js and create a new project with OneSDK:

mkdir my_project
cd my_project
npm init -y
npm install --save @superfaceai/one-sdk

Install vcs/user-repos profile and configure GitHub as a provider:

npx @superfaceai/cli install vcs/user-repos --providers github

Create index.js file, and insert the following code:

const { SuperfaceClient } = require('@superfaceai/one-sdk');

const sdk = new SuperfaceClient();

async function run() {
// Load the installed profile
const profile = await sdk.getProfile('vcs/user-repos');

// Use the profile
const result = await profile.getUseCase('UserRepos').perform({
user: 'superfaceai',
});

return result.unwrap();
}

run();

Run it:

node index.js
