Bankr Client Patterns

Reusable client code and common files for Bankr API projects.

bankr-client.ts

The core API client module for all Bankr projects:

import "dotenv/config";

const API_URL = process.env.BANKR_API_URL || "https://api.bankr.bot";
const API_KEY = process.env.BANKR_API_KEY;

Usage Patterns

Basic Usage

import { execute } from "./bankr-client";

const result = await execute("What is the price of ETH?", (msg) => {
  console.log("Progress:", msg);
});

console.log(result.response);

With Error Handling

import { execute } from "./bankr-client";

try {
  const result = await execute("Buy $50 of ETH on Base");

  if (result.status === "completed") {
    console.log("Success:", result.response);

    // Handle transactions
    if (result.transactions) {
      for (const tx of result.transactions) {
        console.log(`${tx.type}:`, tx.metadata.__ORIGINAL_TX_DATA__?.humanReadableMessage);
      }
    }
  } else if (result.status === "failed") {
    console.error("Failed:", result.error);
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Error:", error.message);
}

Manual Control

import { submitPrompt, waitForCompletion, cancelJob } from "./bankr-client";

// Submit
const { jobId } = await submitPrompt("Analyze ETH market");

// Set up timeout
const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
  cancelJob(jobId);
}, 120000);

// Wait with custom options
const result = await waitForCompletion(jobId, console.log, {
  pollInterval: 2000,
  maxAttempts: 60,
});

clearTimeout(timeout);
