Direct Phylum API Requests

Phylum REST API

Phylum provides a versioned REST API for retrieving all available data. This REST API can be used directly by extensions if there is no TypeScript API available.

All endpoints are documented here: https://api.phylum.io/api/v0/swagger/index.html

Extension API requests

To make a Request to Phylum's REST API, you can use the built-in Phylum.fetch function, which takes care of authentication and finding the correct base URI. The following example retrieves projects owned by the user which do not belong to any group:

// Create a fetch request to the `/data/projects/overview` endpoint.
const reply = await Phylum.fetch(
    Phylum.ApiVersion.V0,
    '/data/projects/overview',
);

// Parse the reply as JSON.
const projects = await reply.json();

// Output all our projects.
console.log(projects);

The last parameter matches Deno's fetch function and can be overwritten to send more complicated requests. The following example creates a new Phylum project through the API:

// Create a fetch request to the `/data/projects` endpoint.
const reply = await Phylum.fetch(
    Phylum.ApiVersion.V0,
    '/data/projects',
    {
        method: 'POST',
        body: JSON.stringify({
            name: 'api_example',
        }),
    },
);

// Parse the reply as JSON.
const project = await reply.json();

// Output the new project.
console.log(project);
