The backend SDK lets you interact with the Nango API. It is available on NPM as @nangohq/node.

​
Instantiate the backend SDK

Install it with your favorite package manager, e.g.:

npm i -S @nangohq/node

Instantiate the Nango class:

import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<SECRET-KEY>' });

Parameters

​
Rate limits

The Nango SDK is rate-limited to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage across all clients. The rate limit is enforced on a per-account basis, with a fixed window of time and a maximum number of requests allowed within that window.

If a client exceeds the rate limit, the API will respond with a 429 Too Many Requests status code. In this case, the Retry-After header is included, indicating the number of seconds the client should wait before making another request to avoid being rate-limited.

To handle rate limiting gracefully, clients should monitor for the 429 status code and honor the Retry-After header value provided in the response.

// Example:
try {
    const res = await nango.listIntegrations();
    ...
} catch(err) {
    if (err.response.status === 429) {
        const retryAfter = err.response.headers['retry-after'];
        // wait and retry
        ...
    }
    ...
}

​
Providers

​
List all providers

Returns a list of providers.

await nango.listProviders()

Example Response

​
Get a provider

Returns a specific provider.

await nango.getProvider({ provider: <NAME> })

Example Response

​
Integrations

​
List all integrations

Returns a list of integrations.

await nango.listIntegrations()

Example Response

​
Get an integration

Returns a specific integration.

await nango.getIntegration({ uniqueKey: <UNIQUE_KEY> });

// Deprecated
await nango.getIntegration(<INTEGRATION-ID>);

Parameters

Example Response

​
Create an integration

Create a new integration.

await nango.createIntegration(<PROVIDER-ID>, <INTEGRATION-ID>);

Parameters

Example Response

​
Update an integration

Edits an integration (only for OAuth APIs).

await nango.updateIntegration(<PROVIDER-ID>, <INTEGRATION-ID>);

Parameters

Example Response

​
Delete an integration

Deletes a specific integration.

await nango.deleteIntegration(<INTEGRATION-ID>);

Parameters

Example Response

​
Connections

​
List connections

Returns a list of connections without credentials.

await nango.listConnections();

Parameters

Example Response

​
Get a connection (with credentials)

Returns a specific connection with credentials.

await nango.getConnection(<INTEGRATION-ID>, <CONNECTION-ID>);

The response content depends on the API authentication type (OAuth 2, OAuth 1, API key, Basic auth, etc.).

If you do not want to deal with collecting & injecting credentials in requests for multiple authentication types, use the Proxy (step-by-step guide).

When you fetch the connection with this API endpoint, Nango will check if the access token has expired. If it has, it will refresh it.

We recommend not caching tokens for longer than 5 minutes to ensure they are fresh.

Parameters

Example Response

​
Get connection metadata

Returns a connection’s metadata.

await nango.getMetadata('<INTEGRATION-ID>', 'CONNECTION-ID');

If you know the structure of the metadata, you can specify a type;

interface CustomMetadata {
    anyKey: Record<string, string>;
}
const myTypedMetadata = await nango.getMetadata<CustomMetadata>('<INTEGRATION-ID>', '<CONNECTION-ID>');

Parameters

Example Response

​
Set connection metadata

Set custom metadata for the connection or connections (overrides existing metadata).

await nango.setMetadata('<INTEGRATION-ID>', 'CONNECTION-ID', { 'CUSTOM_KEY1': 'CUSTOM_VALUE1' });

# set an array of connection ids
await nango.setMetadata('<INTEGRATION-ID>', ['CONNECTION-ID', 'CONNECTION-ID-TWO'], { 'CUSTOM_KEY1': 'CUSTOM_VALUE1' });

Parameters

Response

​
Edit connection metadata

Edit custom metadata for the connection or connections. Only overrides specified properties, not the entire metadata.

await nango.updateMetadata('<INTEGRATION-ID>', 'CONNECTION-ID', { 'CUSTOM_KEY1': 'CUSTOM_VALUE1' });

# update an array of connection ids
await nango.updateMetadata('<INTEGRATION-ID>', ['CONNECTION-ID', 'CONNECTION-ID-TWO'], { 'CUSTOM_KEY1': 'CUSTOM_VALUE1' });

Parameters

Response

​
Delete a connection

Deletes a specific connection.

await nango.deleteConnection('<INTEGRATION-ID>', 'CONNECTION-ID');

Parameters

Response

Empty response.

​
