How it works

1. Create a Link

Add one or more vendors and define the APIs you want using natural language

// Import the Sparkles SDK
import { Sparkles } from 'sparkles-sdk';
// Create a sparkles client
const sparkles = new Sparkles(apiKey);
// Create a link with utility vendors
const link = await sparkles.createLink({
name: "Utility Connector",
vendors: ["coned.com", "eversource.com", "pge.com"]
});
// Define APIs using natural language
const api = await sparkles.createAPI({
linkId: link.id,
name: "getUpcomingBill",
description: "Get the next bill for this account",
output: {
amount: { type: "number" },
dueDate: { type: "string", format: "date" },
account: { type: "string" }
}
});
// API created successfully
console.log(api.id); // "api_abc123"

2. Embed a login into your app

Add our login widget to your application. Users authenticate directly with their vendors.

// Front-end code
import { useSparklesLink } from 'react-sparkles-link';
const { open, ready } = useSparklesLink({
token: '<GENERATED_LINK_TOKEN>',
onSuccess: (access_token, metadata) => {
// send access_token to server
},
});
return (
<button onClick={() => open()} disabled={!ready}>
Connect To Your Power Bill
</button>
);
User

3. Call your APIs

Start making API calls to access data and perform actions on your users' connected apps.

// Call your API with the user's access token
const bills = await sparkles.callApi({
accessToken: "usr_token_123",
apiId: "api_abc123"
});
// Returns: [{ amount: 156.23, dueDate: "2024-02-15", ... }]

The possibilities are endless
