| 3 | +description: Creating API clients with OpenAPI specs, authentication, and OAuth scopes for SCAPI and similar APIs |
| 4 | +--- |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +# API Client Development |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This skill covers creating typed API clients using OpenAPI specifications, with proper authentication and OAuth scope handling. It builds on the patterns in [SDK Module Development](../sdk-module-development/SKILL.md). |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Overview |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +API clients in this project use: |
| 13 | +- **openapi-fetch**: Type-safe HTTP client generated from OpenAPI specs |
| 14 | +- **openapi-typescript**: Generates TypeScript types from OpenAPI specs |
| 15 | +- **Middleware pattern**: Auth and logging injected via openapi-fetch middleware |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Creating a New API Client |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +### 1. Add the OpenAPI Spec |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Place the spec in `packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/specs/`: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | +specs/ |
| 25 | +├── custom-apis-v1.yaml # YAML or JSON |
| 26 | +├── slas-admin-v1.yaml |
| 27 | +└── ods-api-v1.json |
| 28 | +``` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### 2. Update Type Generation Script |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +In `packages/b2c-tooling-sdk/package.json`, add to the generate script: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```json |
| 35 | +{ |
| 36 | + "scripts": { |
| 37 | + "generate:types": "openapi-typescript specs/data-api.json -o src/clients/ocapi.generated.ts && openapi-typescript specs/newapi-v1.yaml -o src/clients/newapi.generated.ts" |
| 38 | + } |
| 39 | +} |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Run generation: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```bash |
| 45 | +pnpm --filter @salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk run generate:types |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### 3. Create the Client Module |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +```typescript |
| 51 | +// src/clients/newapi.ts |
| 52 | +import createClient, {type Client} from 'openapi-fetch'; |
| 53 | +import type {AuthStrategy} from '../auth/types.js'; |
| 54 | +import type {paths, components} from './newapi.generated.js'; |
| 55 | +import {createAuthMiddleware, createLoggingMiddleware} from './middleware.js'; |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +// Re-export generated types for consumers |
| 58 | +export type {paths, components}; |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +// Client type alias |
| 61 | +export type NewApiClient = Client<paths>; |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +// Config interface |
| 64 | +export interface NewApiClientConfig { |
| 65 | + hostname: string; |
| 66 | + // Add API-specific config here |
| 67 | +} |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +// Factory function |
| 70 | +export function createNewApiClient( |
| 71 | + config: NewApiClientConfig, |
| 72 | + auth: AuthStrategy |
| 73 | +): NewApiClient { |
| 74 | + const client = createClient<paths>({ |
| 75 | + baseUrl: `https://${config.hostname}/api/v1`, |
| 76 | + }); |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + // Middleware order: auth first (runs last), logging last (sees complete request) |
| 79 | + client.use(createAuthMiddleware(auth)); |
| 80 | + client.use(createLoggingMiddleware('NEWAPI')); |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | + return client; |
| 83 | +} |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +### 4. Export from Clients Barrel |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +```typescript |
| 89 | +// src/clients/index.ts |
| 90 | +export {createNewApiClient, type NewApiClient, type NewApiClientConfig} from './newapi.js'; |
| 91 | +export type {paths as NewApiPaths, components as NewApiComponents} from './newapi.js'; |
| 92 | +``` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +--- |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +## SCAPI Client Pattern (OAuth Scope Injection) |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +SCAPI APIs require specific OAuth scopes. Instead of requiring CLI commands to manage scopes, **encapsulate scope logic in the client factory**. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +### The Problem |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +Without encapsulation, CLI commands leak auth implementation details: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +```typescript |
| 105 | +// BAD: CLI command manages scopes |
| 106 | +class MyCommand extends OAuthCommand { |
| 107 | + protected override loadConfiguration(): ResolvedConfig { |
| 108 | + const config = super.loadConfiguration(); |
| 109 | + config.scopes = ['sfcc.custom-apis', `SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:${tenantId}`]; |
| 110 | + return config; |
| 111 | + } |
| 112 | +} |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### The Solution |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Use `OAuthStrategy.withAdditionalScopes()` in the client factory: |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +```typescript |
| 120 | +// GOOD: Client encapsulates scope requirements |
| 121 | +import {OAuthStrategy} from '../auth/oauth.js'; |
| 122 | +import type {AuthStrategy} from '../auth/types.js'; |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +/** Default OAuth scopes required for this API */ |
| 125 | +export const MY_API_DEFAULT_SCOPES = ['sfcc.my-api']; |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +export interface MyApiClientConfig { |
| 128 | + shortCode: string; |
| 129 | + tenantId: string; // Required for tenant-specific scope |
| 130 | + scopes?: string[]; // Optional override |
| 131 | +} |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +export function createMyApiClient( |
| 134 | + config: MyApiClientConfig, |
| 135 | + auth: AuthStrategy |
| 136 | +): MyApiClient { |
| 137 | + const client = createClient<paths>({ |
| 138 | + baseUrl: `https://${config.shortCode}.api.commercecloud.salesforce.com/my-api/v1`, |
| 139 | + }); |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | + // Build required scopes: domain scope + tenant-specific scope |
| 142 | + const requiredScopes = config.scopes ?? [ |
| 143 | + ...MY_API_DEFAULT_SCOPES, |
| 144 | + buildTenantScope(config.tenantId), |
| 145 | + ]; |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | + // If OAuth strategy, add required scopes; otherwise use as-is (e.g., for testing) |
| 148 | + const scopedAuth = auth instanceof OAuthStrategy |
| 149 | + ? auth.withAdditionalScopes(requiredScopes) |
| 150 | + : auth; |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | + client.use(createAuthMiddleware(scopedAuth)); |
| 153 | + client.use(createLoggingMiddleware('MY-API')); |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | + return client; |
| 156 | +} |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +This pattern: |
| 160 | +1. Keeps scope knowledge in the SDK, not the CLI |
| 161 | +2. Allows scope override for special cases via `config.scopes` |
| 162 | +3. Works with non-OAuth auth strategies (for testing/mocking) |
| 163 | +4. CLI commands just pass the auth strategy through unchanged |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +--- |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +## SCAPI Tenant ID Utilities |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +SCAPI APIs use an `organizationId` path parameter with the `f_ecom_` prefix, but OAuth scopes use the raw tenant ID. Use these utilities: |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +```typescript |
| 172 | +// From @salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk (or clients/custom-apis.ts) |
| 173 | +import {toOrganizationId, toTenantId, buildTenantScope} from '@salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk'; |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +// Convert tenant ID to organization ID (adds f_ecom_ prefix) |
| 176 | +toOrganizationId('zzxy_prd') // Returns 'f_ecom_zzxy_prd' |
| 177 | +toOrganizationId('f_ecom_zzxy_prd') // Returns 'f_ecom_zzxy_prd' (unchanged) |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +// Extract raw tenant ID (strips f_ecom_ prefix) |
| 180 | +toTenantId('f_ecom_zzxy_prd') // Returns 'zzxy_prd' |
| 181 | +toTenantId('zzxy_prd') // Returns 'zzxy_prd' (unchanged) |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +// Build tenant-specific OAuth scope |
| 184 | +buildTenantScope('zzxy_prd') // Returns 'SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:zzxy_prd' |
| 185 | +buildTenantScope('f_ecom_zzxy_prd') // Returns 'SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:zzxy_prd' |
| 186 | +``` |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +### Constants |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +```typescript |
| 191 | +/** Prefix required for SCAPI organizationId path parameter */ |
| 192 | +export const ORGANIZATION_ID_PREFIX = 'f_ecom_'; |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +/** Prefix for tenant-specific SCAPI OAuth scopes */ |
| 195 | +export const SCAPI_TENANT_SCOPE_PREFIX = 'SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:'; |
| 196 | +``` |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +--- |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +## OAuthStrategy.withAdditionalScopes() |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +The `OAuthStrategy` class has a method for scope injection: |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +```typescript |
| 205 | +// Creates a new OAuthStrategy with merged scopes |
| 206 | +const scopedAuth = auth.withAdditionalScopes(['sfcc.custom-apis', 'SALESFORCE_COMMERCE_API:zzxy_prd']); |
| 207 | +``` |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +Key behaviors: |
| 210 | +- Returns a **new** `OAuthStrategy` instance (immutable pattern) |
| 211 | +- Merges scopes with deduplication (uses `Set`) |
| 212 | +- The new strategy shares token cache with the original (keyed by clientId) |
| 213 | +- If cached token doesn't have required scopes, it re-authenticates |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +--- |

| 291 | + |
| 292 | +## CLI Command Integration |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +With scope encapsulation in the client, CLI commands become simple: |
| 295 | + |
| 296 | +```typescript |
| 297 | +// packages/b2c-cli/src/commands/scapi/custom/status.ts |
| 298 | +import {OAuthCommand} from '@salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk/cli'; |
| 299 | +import {createCustomApisClient, toOrganizationId} from '@salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk'; |
| 300 | + |
| 301 | +export default class ScapiCustomStatus extends OAuthCommand<typeof ScapiCustomStatus> { |
| 302 | + static flags = { |
| 303 | + ...OAuthCommand.baseFlags, |
| 304 | + 'tenant-id': Flags.string({ |
| 305 | + description: 'Organization/tenant ID', |
| 306 | + env: 'SFCC_TENANT_ID', |
| 307 | + required: true, |
| 308 | + }), |
| 309 | + }; |
| 310 | + |
| 311 | + async run() { |
| 312 | + this.requireOAuthCredentials(); |
| 313 | + |
| 314 | + const {'tenant-id': tenantId} = this.flags; |
| 315 | + const {shortCode} = this.resolvedConfig; |
| 316 | + |
| 317 | + // Auth strategy from base class - no scope configuration needed! |
| 318 | + const oauthStrategy = this.getOAuthStrategy(); |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | + // Client handles scope injection internally |
| 321 | + const client = createCustomApisClient({shortCode, tenantId}, oauthStrategy); |
| 322 | + |
| 323 | + const {data, error} = await client.GET('/organizations/{organizationId}/endpoints', { |
| 324 | + params: { |
| 325 | + path: {organizationId: toOrganizationId(tenantId)}, |
| 326 | + }, |
| 327 | + }); |
| 328 | + |
| 329 | + // Handle response... |
| 330 | + } |
| 331 | +} |
| 332 | +``` |
| 333 | + |
| 334 | +--- |
| 335 | + |
| 336 | +## Testing API Clients |
| 337 | + |
| 338 | +Use MSW (Mock Service Worker) to mock API responses: |
| 339 | + |
| 340 | +```typescript |
| 341 | +import {http, HttpResponse} from 'msw'; |
| 342 | +import {setupServer} from 'msw/node'; |
| 343 | +import {createCustomApisClient} from '@salesforce/b2c-tooling-sdk'; |
| 344 | + |
| 345 | +const mockAuth: AuthStrategy = { |
| 346 | + async fetch(url, init) { |
| 347 | + return fetch(url, init); |
| 348 | + }, |
| 349 | + async getAuthorizationHeader() { |
| 350 | + return 'Bearer mock-token'; |
| 351 | + }, |
| 352 | +}; |
| 353 | + |
| 354 | +const server = setupServer( |
| 355 | + http.get('https://test.api.commercecloud.salesforce.com/dx/custom-apis/v1/organizations/*/endpoints', () => { |
| 356 | + return HttpResponse.json({ |
| 357 | + data: [{apiName: 'test', status: 'active'}], |
| 358 | + total: 1, |
| 359 | + limit: 10, |
| 360 | + }); |
| 361 | + }) |
| 362 | +); |
| 363 | + |
| 364 | +beforeAll(() => server.listen()); |
| 365 | +afterAll(() => server.close()); |
| 366 | + |
| 367 | +it('fetches endpoints', async () => { |
| 368 | + const client = createCustomApisClient( |
| 369 | + {shortCode: 'test', tenantId: 'zzxy_prd'}, |
| 370 | + mockAuth |
| 371 | + ); |
| 372 | + |
| 373 | + const {data} = await client.GET('/organizations/{organizationId}/endpoints', { |
| 374 | + params: {path: {organizationId: 'f_ecom_zzxy_prd'}}, |
| 375 | + }); |
| 376 | + |
| 377 | + expect(data?.data).toHaveLength(1); |
| 378 | +}); |
| 379 | +``` |
| 380 | + |
