See the GoCardless docs for a list of valid resources.

Usage

Constructor

new GoCardless() => GoCardlessClient

Creates a new client instance using your GoCardless access token

const gocardless = new GoCardless(YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN)

Client Methods

.request(options) => Promise(GoCardlessResource)

Makes an API request, then returns the resulting resource.

const GoCardless = require('gocardless-api')
const gocardless = new GoCardless(YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN)
gocardless.request({
    method: 'GET',
    resource: 'customers'
    query: {
        limit: 10,
        after: 'CU123'
    }
})
.then(customers => {
    // customers => {
    //  "meta": {
    //      "cursors": {
    //        "before": "CU000",
    //        "after": "CU456",
    //      },
    //      "limit": 10
    //    },
    //    "customers": [{
    //      "id": "CU123",
    //      "created_at": "2014-05-08T17:01:06.000Z",
    //      "email": "[email protected]",
    //      "given_name": "Frank",
    //      "family_name": "Osborne",
    //      "address_line1": "27 Acer Road",
    //      "address_line2": "Apt 2",
    //      "address_line3": null,
    //      "city": "London",
    //      "region": null,
    //      "postal_code": "E8 3GX",
    //      "country_code": "GB",
    //      "language": "en",
    //      "metadata": {
    //        "salesforce_id": "ABCD1234"
    //      }
    //    }, {
    //    ...
    //    }]
    //  }
})

The request will automatically add the following headers:

• Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>
• GoCardless-Version: 2015-07-06

You can override these headers using options.headers (see below)

request options Object:

• method (String): HTTP request method. One of GET, PUT, PATCH or DELETE
• resource (String): Path to the requested resource (e.g. customers, mandates/123)
• data (Object): Data to accompany PUT or PATCH requests
• query (Object): Query string as key=>value pairs (e.g. { limit: 10, after: ID789 } becomes ?limit=10&after=ID789)
• options (Object): Additional request options. Passed directly to needle.
