Simple Mode

​

Description

The Simple Mode authorization of our Client SDK uses both the identifier of the user who you want to pull data for (ie. the id on a User) and a Public API Key to authenticate requests.

Your token should start with pub_ and will end with a random 32-character alphanumeric string - for example: pub_test_794df9bu824e7d0176e079940e0915le.

​

Using your key

You will need to provide both the Public API Key (as apiKey) and the id of the user that you want to pull data for (as userId) when initializing the client.

import { KanaUserClient } from "@usekana/client-kana-js";

const apiKey = "pub_live_xyz"; // Make sure this is your PUBLIC API Key

// Stored client-side to be assigned to this constant
const currentUser = {
  id: "123456",
  name: "Zach Read",
  email: "zach@usekana.com",
};

const kanaUserClient = new KanaUserClient({
  apiKey: apiKey,
  userId: currentUser.id,
});
