# SDK (/docs/rest-api/sdk)

A TypeScript SDK for the Prisma Data Platform REST API. Use the simple client for direct API access, or the full SDK with built-in OAuth authentication and automatic token refresh

Location: REST API > SDK

## Overview

The [`@prisma/management-api-sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@prisma/management-api-sdk) is a TypeScript SDK for the [Prisma Data Platform REST API](/guides/reference-3-rest-api). Use the simple client for direct API access, or the full SDK with built-in OAuth authentication and automatic token refresh.

Based on the [public OpenAPI 3.1 specification](https://api.prisma.io/v1/swagger-editor).

## Installation

#### bun

```bash
bun add @prisma/management-api-sdk
```

#### pnpm

```bash
pnpm add @prisma/management-api-sdk
```

#### yarn

```bash
yarn add @prisma/management-api-sdk
```

#### npm

```bash
npm install @prisma/management-api-sdk
```

## Basic usage

For usage with an existing access or [service token](/guides/authentication-tools-authentication#service-tokens).

### Making API calls

The client provides fully typed methods for all API endpoints:

```typescript
import { createManagementApiClient } from "@prisma/management-api-sdk";

const client = createManagementApiClient({
  token: "your-access-token",
});

// List workspaces
const { data: workspaces, error } = await client.GET("/v1/workspaces");

// Get a specific project
const { data: project } = await client.GET("/v1/projects/{id}", {
  params: { path: { id: "project-id" } },
});

// Create a new project
const { data: newProject } = await client.POST("/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/projects", {
  params: { path: { workspaceId: "workspace-id" } },
  body: { name: "My New Project" },
});

// Create a new database
const { data: newDatabase } = await client.POST("/v1/projects/{projectId}/databases", {
  params: { path: { projectId: "project-id" } },
  body: {
    name: "my-new-db-instance",
    region: "us-east-1",
    isDefault: true,
  },
});

// Delete a database
const { error: deleteError } = await client.DELETE("/v1/databases/{databaseId}", {
  params: { path: { databaseId: "database-id" } },
});
```

### Customizing the client

You can override any `ClientOptions` from `openapi-fetch`, including `baseUrl`, `headers`, and other fetch options:

```typescript
import { createManagementApiClient } from "@prisma/management-api-sdk";

// Override baseUrl and add custom headers
const client = createManagementApiClient({
  token: "your-access-token",
  baseUrl: "https://api.example.com",
  headers: {
    "X-Custom-Header": "value",
  },
});
```

> \[!NOTE]
> If you provide both `token` and `headers.Authorization`, the `headers.Authorization` takes precedence. The `baseUrl` defaults to `https://api.prisma.io` if not provided.

## Advanced usage

For applications that need [OAuth authentication](#oauth-authentication-flow), automatic token refresh, and token storage management, use the full SDK.

### OAuth authentication flow

The SDK uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. The flow is stateless, so you are responsible for storing the `state` and `verifier` between generating the login URL and handling the callback.

#### 1. Create the SDK instance

```typescript
import { createManagementApiSdk, type TokenStorage } from "@prisma/management-api-sdk";

// Implement token storage for your environment
const tokenStorage: TokenStorage = {
  async getTokens() {
    const stored = localStorage.getItem("prisma-tokens");
    return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : null;
  },
  async setTokens(tokens) {
    localStorage.setItem("prisma-tokens", JSON.stringify(tokens));
  },
  async clearTokens() {
    localStorage.removeItem("prisma-tokens");
  },
};

// Create the SDK instance
const api = createManagementApiSdk({
  clientId: "your-oauth-client-id",
  redirectUri: "https://your-app.com/auth/callback",
  tokenStorage,
});
```

#### 2. Initiate login

Generate the OAuth login URL. The returned `state` and `verifier` must be stored (e.g., in a session or cookie) for use when handling the callback:

```typescript
const { url, state, verifier } = await api.getLoginUrl({
  scope: "workspace:admin offline_access",
  additionalParams: {
    utm_source: "my-app",
    utm_medium: "login",
  },
});

// Store state and verifier for the callback (e.g., in session storage)
sessionStorage.setItem("oauth-state", state);
sessionStorage.setItem("oauth-verifier", verifier);

// Redirect user to the login URL
window.location.href = url;
```

#### 3. Handle the callback

When the user is redirected back to your app, retrieve the stored `state` and `verifier` and pass them to `handleCallback`. On success, tokens are automatically stored via your `tokenStorage` implementation:

```typescript
// In your callback route handler
const callbackUrl = window.location.href;

// Retrieve the stored values
const expectedState = sessionStorage.getItem("oauth-state");
const verifier = sessionStorage.getItem("oauth-verifier");

// Clean up stored values
sessionStorage.removeItem("oauth-state");
sessionStorage.removeItem("oauth-verifier");

try {
  await api.handleCallback({
    callbackUrl,
    verifier,
    expectedState,
  });

  // Tokens are now stored in tokenStorage and the client is ready to use
  console.log("Login successful!");
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AuthError) {
    console.error("Authentication failed:", error.message);
  }
}
```

#### 4. Make API calls

The client automatically includes authentication headers and refreshes tokens when they expire. Use `api.client` with the same methods shown in [Basic usage](#making-api-calls).

#### 5. Logout

```typescript
await api.logout(); // Clears stored tokens
```

### Token storage interface

Implement this interface to handle token persistence in your environment:

```typescript
interface TokenStorage {
  /** Provide the stored tokens to the SDK */
  getTokens(): Promise<Tokens | null>;
  /** Store new or updated tokens when the SDK has successfully authenticated or refreshed tokens */
  setTokens(tokens: Tokens): Promise<void>;
  /** Clear the tokens when the user logs out or the refresh token is invalid */
  clearTokens(): Promise<void>;
}

type Tokens = {
  /** The workspace ID that these tokens are valid for (extracted from the access token) */
  workspaceId: string;
  /** The access token for API requests */
  accessToken: string;
  /** The refresh token for obtaining new access tokens (only present if scope includes 'offline_access') */
  refreshToken?: string;
};
```

#### Example: VS Code Extension

```typescript
const tokenStorage: TokenStorage = {
  async getTokens() {
    const workspaceId = await context.secrets.get("workspaceId");
    const accessToken = await context.secrets.get("accessToken");
    const refreshToken = await context.secrets.get("refreshToken");

    if (!workspaceId || !accessToken) return null;

    return { workspaceId, accessToken, refreshToken: refreshToken || undefined };
  },
  async setTokens(tokens) {
    await context.secrets.store("workspaceId", tokens.workspaceId);
    await context.secrets.store("accessToken", tokens.accessToken);
    if (tokens.refreshToken) {
      await context.secrets.store("refreshToken", tokens.refreshToken);
    }
  },
  async clearTokens() {
    await context.secrets.delete("workspaceId");
    await context.secrets.delete("accessToken");
    await context.secrets.delete("refreshToken");
  },
};
```

#### Example: Node.js CLI

```typescript
import { readFile, writeFile, unlink } from "node:fs/promises";
import { homedir } from "node:os";
import { join } from "node:path";

const tokenPath = join(homedir(), ".prisma", "credentials.json");

const tokenStorage: TokenStorage = {
  async getTokens() {
    try {
      const data = await readFile(tokenPath, "utf-8");
      return JSON.parse(data);
    } catch {
      return null;
    }
  },
  async setTokens(tokens) {
    await writeFile(tokenPath, JSON.stringify(tokens, null, 2));
  },
  async clearTokens() {
    await unlink(tokenPath).catch(() => {});
  },
};
```

For other environments:

- **VS Code extensions** - Use `context.secrets` for secure storage
- **Stateless web servers** - Store PKCE state/verifier in encrypted cookies or a database

### Automatic token refresh

The SDK automatically handles token refresh when a refresh token is available (requires `offline_access` scope):

- When a request returns 401, the SDK refreshes the access token using the refresh token
- Concurrent requests during refresh are queued and resolved once refresh completes
- If refresh fails due to an invalid refresh token, tokens are cleared and `AuthError` is thrown with `refreshTokenInvalid: true`
- If no refresh token is available, an `AuthError` is thrown with the message "No refresh token available. Please log in again."

## API reference

### `createManagementApiClient(options)`

Creates a raw API client without authentication handling. Useful if you want to manage authentication yourself or use a service token.

**Parameters:**

- `options.token?: string` - Access token (automatically converted to `Authorization: Bearer ${token}` header)
- `options.baseUrl?: string` - Base URL for API requests (defaults to `https://api.prisma.io`)
- `options.headers?: Record<string, string>` - Additional headers
- Other `ClientOptions` from `openapi-fetch` are also supported

**Returns:** A typed API client for making requests.

### `createManagementApiSdk(config)`

Creates a REST API SDK instance with OAuth authentication and automatic token refresh.

**Parameters:**

```typescript
type ManagementApiClientConfig = {
  // Required
  clientId: string; // OAuth client ID
  redirectUri: string; // OAuth redirect URI
  tokenStorage: TokenStorage;

  // Optional (with defaults)
  apiBaseUrl?: string; // Default: 'https://api.prisma.io'
  authBaseUrl?: string; // Default: 'https://auth.prisma.io'
};
```

**Returns:** An object with:

- `client` - The typed API client for making requests
- `getLoginUrl(options)` - Generate OAuth login URL with specified scope
- `handleCallback(options)` - Handle OAuth callback and store tokens via `tokenStorage`
- `logout()` - Clear stored tokens

## Error handling

The SDK exports two error classes:

### `AuthError`

Thrown for authentication-related errors:

- OAuth callback errors (includes `error_description` when available)
- Invalid or missing tokens
- Token refresh failures

```typescript
import { AuthError } from "@prisma/management-api-sdk";

try {
  await api.handleCallback({ callbackUrl, verifier, expectedState });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof AuthError) {
    if (error.refreshTokenInvalid) {
      // Token is invalid/expired, user needs to log in again
      const { url } = await api.getLoginUrl({ scope: "workspace:admin offline_access" });
      // redirect to url...
    } else {
      // Other auth errors (e.g., "access_denied: User cancelled")
      console.error("Auth error:", error.message);
    }
  }
}
```

### `FetchError`

Thrown for network-related errors. Includes the original error as `cause` for debugging:

```typescript
import { FetchError } from "@prisma/management-api-sdk";

try {
  const { data } = await client.GET("/v1/workspaces");
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof FetchError) {
    console.error("Network error:", error.message);
    console.error("Cause:", error.cause); // Original error for debugging
  }
}
```

## TypeScript types

The SDK exports all API types generated from the OpenAPI spec:

```typescript
import type { paths, components } from "@prisma/management-api-sdk";

// Access response types
type Workspace = components["schemas"]["Workspace"];
type Project = components["schemas"]["Project"];
```
