OpenAPI Quick Start

Welcome to the Bika.ai OpenAPI Quick Start Guide!

This document provides a series of examples to help you get started with the Bika.ai API and SDK. Each section contains code snippets for common operations, including fetching data, creating records, updating records, deleting records, and using automation.

API Reference Document

Basic Concepts

Before using this Open API, we need to first understand the structure and object hierarchy of Bika.ai.

Space
- Node Resources：
  - Database
  - Automation
  - Dashboard
  - Document
  - AI Chatbot
  - ……

The Space is your workspace. It encompasses all the node resources we've previously mentioned, including databases, automation facilities, dashboards, and additional components. When leveraging the Open API, data retrieval must be carried out in accordance with this structure.

For instance, if you aim to obtain the database C represented by node B within Space A, the API would be similar to spaceA.nodeB->resoure->databaseB.

Note that the node ID is equivalent to the resource ID; for instance, Node ID and Database ID are the same.

For a URL like:

https://bika.ai/space/spcND68gdMMZBmGK67gvqNVX/node/datJubyEnetNFd3UQ6gSeq7U/viwYHuzUxRngq5igMkw9PPIX

SpaceId: spcND68gdMMZBmGK67gvqNVX

NodeID = DatabaseID: datJubyEnetNFd3UQ6gSeq7U

The associated TypeScript SDK is designed in an object-oriented style, which greatly simplifies your code.

Also, the space UI follows the above data structure layer.

For details, please read the homepage of the help document at https://bika.ai/help to view the overall UI introduction of the Space.

cURL

OpenAPI is composed of the HTTP protocol, and below are examples of how to call Bika.ai's OpenAPI using the cURL command line tool.

Please checkout the Bika.ai API Reference for more API details.

You can access these OpenAPI endpoints using any HTTP client that supports them, such as cURL, Python Requests, Node.js axios, Rust reqwest, and others.

System

Retrieving System Meta Info

curl -X GET "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/system/meta" -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Response Example:

{
    "success": true,
    "code": 200,
    "message": "SUCCESS",
    "data": {
        "version": "1.0.0-release.0",
        "appEnv": "PRODUCTION",
        "hostname": "https://bika.ai",
        "headers": {
            "X-Forwarded-For": "35.96.5.64",
            "User-Agent": "curl/8.4.0"
        }
    }
}

Retrieving Space List

curl -X GET "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces" -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Database

Get Records

Gets a list of records from the specified database. Assuming we know that the ID of the space is {SPACE_ID},and the ID of the database is {NODE_ID}, here's an example of a cURL call:

curl -X GET 'https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/{SPACE_ID}/resources/databases/{NODE_ID}/records' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Creating a New Record

Assume we have obtained the ID of a certain space as {SPACE_ID}, node ID as {NODE_ID}, and database ID always equals to node ID. Here is an example of creating a new record:

curl -X POST "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/{SPACE_ID}/resources/databases/{NODE_ID}/records" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "cells": {
            "Name": "New record",
            "Description": "This is a new database record"
        }
    }'

Updating a Record

Assume the record ID is {RECORD_ID}. The example of updating a record is as follows:

curl -X PATCH "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/spcpPuRJJC4CZOwzB9Vlwmja/resources/databases/datkW11Rxx6hFJO924ECNxLk/records" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer bkteM550dHdXyTKN4Wkp59pYX8JD5cDU7rB" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "id": "recpx8ZUBHmRFuD0fGTObHxL",
        "cells": {
            "Task": "Updated description field column"
        }
    }'

Deleting a Record

curl -X DELETE "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/{SPACE_ID}/resources/databases/{NODE_ID}/records/{RECORD_ID}" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Others

Upload attachments

Note: This interface needs to be used in conjunction with the "Create Record" or "Update Record" interface. After the attachment is uploaded, a return value (located in the data attribute of the response body) will be obtained. Use this value as the value of the field where the attachment is to be inserted in the record, and write it into the database together through the "Create Record" or "Update Record" interface.

curl 'https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/{SPACE_ID}/attachments' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-F 'file=@./example.png'

Listing Automation Triggers

Assume the node ID is {NODE_ID}. The example is as follows:

curl -X GET "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/{SPACE_ID}/resources/automation/{NODE_ID}/triggers" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}"

Registering an Outbound Webhook

curl -X POST "https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika/v1/spaces/{SPACE_ID}/outgoing-webhooks" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "eventType": "ON_RECORD_CREATED",
        "name": "Create webhook",
        "description": "Example trigger when a new record is created",
        "callbackURL": "https://your - custom - callback - url.com"
    }'

        console.error('Error registering webhook:', error);
    }
}
registerWebhook();

Example 7: Embeded Bika.ai's UI（Coming soon）

Here are examples of embedding Bika.ai's UI into your own application.

If you want to incorporate Bika.ai's robust UI for databases, documents, and more, you can utilize the embed link API.

Generate an embed link to obtain a URL, and then use an <iframe> in your application.

import { Bika } from 'bika.ai';

const bika = new Bika({
    apiKey: '__PASTE_YOUR_API_TOKEN_FROM_USER_SETTING__',
    baseURL: 'https://bika.ai/api/openapi/bika',
});

async function createEmbedLink(resourceId: string) {
    try {
        const spaces = await bika.space.list();
        const space = spaces[0];
        const embedLink = await space.embedLinks.create({
            objectType: 'NODE_RESOURCE',
            objectId: resourceId,
          });

        console.log('Embed Link:', embedLink);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error creating embed link:', error);
    }
}
createEmbedLink('__NODE_RESOURCE_ID_YOU_WANT_TO_EMBED__');

// else
const embedLinks = await space.embedLink.list();
const deleteEmbedLink = await space.embedLink.delete({id: [embedLink.id](http://embedlink.id/)});

After creating an embedded Bika.ai UI, you can use the <iframe> tag to display it on your web page. Here's a simple example of how to do this:

<iframe src="YOUR_EMBEDDED_UI_URL" width="800" height="600"></iframe>

Replace YOUR_EMBEDDED_UI_URL with the actual URL of the embedded Bika.ai UI you created. You can adjust the width and height attributes according to your layout needs.

Conclusion

This Quick Start Guide provides basic examples to help you interact with the Bika.ai OpenAPI and SDK effectively. You can modify and expand these examples as needed for your specific use cases. For more detailed information, refer to the Bika.ai API Documentation.

Happy coding!
