APISDK setup

Node.js SDK

Deploy and manage Openship from JavaScript or TypeScript.

The openship package gives your application access to projects, deployments, domains, backups, and the other platform operations. Native SDK calls and HTTP controllers use the same shared core.

Choose a mode

ModeUse whenStart here
Remote clientOpenship already runs on a server or in Cloud.Connect to an API
Native SDKYour Node application owns storage, providers, and the installation lifecycle.Embed Openship

Both modes expose the same named operation groups. A configured provider and the caller's permissions determine which operations can run.

Install

The SDK is currently a repository preview. Published [email protected] contains the CLI only. Build and install the SDK tarball before using these imports.

A deployment in code

This function accepts either a remote client or a native user scope:

deploy-site.mts
import type { OpenshipClient, ScopedShip } from "openship";

export async function deploySite(ship: OpenshipClient | ScopedShip) {
  const submitted = await ship.deploy({
    name: "my-site",
    source: { type: "files", files: { "index.html": "<h1>Hello from Openship</h1>" } },
  });
  const outcome = await ship.deployment(submitted.deployment_id).wait({ timeoutMs: 120_000 });
  if (!outcome.success) throw new Error(outcome.message ?? outcome.status);
  return ship.projects.get(submitted.project_id);
}
