@hostsmith/sdk

Node.js SDK for the Hostsmith Public API. Manage sites and deploy files programmatically.

Installation

npm install @hostsmith/sdk

Requires Node.js 20 or later.

Quick Start

import { Hostsmith } from "@hostsmith/sdk";

const client = new Hostsmith({
  accessToken: "your-oauth-access-token",
  partition: "us", // "us" (United States) or "eu" (European Union)
});

// List all sites
const { sites } = await client.sites.list();

// Deploy a directory
await client.sites.deploy(sites[0].id, "./dist");

Authentication

The SDK requires an OAuth 2.0 access token. See the authentication guide for how to obtain one.

const client = new Hostsmith({
  accessToken: "your-access-token",
});

Usage

Sites

// List all sites
const { sites } = await client.sites.list();

// Get a site by ID
const site = await client.sites.get("site-id");

// Create a site
const { siteId } = await client.sites.create({
  subdomain: "my-portfolio",
  domain: "us.hostsmith.link",
});

// Delete a site
await client.sites.delete("site-id");

Domains

// List all domains (shared + custom)
const { domains } = await client.domains.list();

// List only shared hosting domains
const { domains: shared } = await client.domains.list({ shared: true });

// List only custom domains owned by your organization
const { domains: custom } = await client.domains.list({ shared: false });

// Each domain includes:
// - id, name, shared, partition, enableApexDomain, enableSubdomains, status
// - canonicalServedUrl: the URL where the site is actually served
//   (https://www.<apex> for apex-enabled domains, otherwise https://<name>)
// - bareApexCovered: whether the bare apex form (https://example.com) is reachable

Deploying Files

Deploy an entire directory:

const result = await client.sites.deploy("site-id", "./dist");
// { versionId: "...", status: "processing" }

Or deploy specific files:

import { Buffer } from "node:buffer";

const result = await client.sites.deploy("site-id", [
  { fileName: "index.html", content: Buffer.from("<h1>Hello</h1>") },
  { fileName: "style.css", content: Buffer.from("body { margin: 0 }") },
]);

The deploy method handles the full upload flow: requesting presigned URLs, uploading file parts to S3 (with concurrency), and finalizing the deployment.

Files larger than 5 MB are automatically split into multipart uploads.

Configuration

Partitions

Each Hostsmith data partition has its own API host. Pass partition to pick one:

Partition	Label	Base URL
us	United States	https://us.api.hostsmith.net
eu	European Union	https://eu.api.hostsmith.net

A discovery endpoint (GET /v1/partitions) returns the live list with labels.

Default partition from token

If partition is omitted and the access token's aud claim is a single string identifying a known partition, the SDK uses it as the default. Multi-partition tokens (aud is an array) require an explicit partition.

// One token authorized for both partitions: pick which one to call.
const us = new Hostsmith({ accessToken: token, partition: "us" });
const eu = new Hostsmith({ accessToken: token, partition: "eu" });

Custom partition URLs (dev / staging)

Override the default URL map (e.g. to point at hostsmith-dev.com):

const client = new Hostsmith({
  accessToken: "your-token",
  partition: "us",
  partitionUrls: {
    us: "https://us.api.hostsmith-dev.com",
    eu: "https://eu.api.hostsmith-dev.com",
  },
});

Token-based defaulting also uses the overridden URLs.

Custom Base URL

For local development:

const client = new Hostsmith({
  accessToken: "your-token",
  baseUrl: "http://localhost:3000",
});

Error Handling

The SDK throws typed errors for API failures:

import { ApiError, AuthError } from "@hostsmith/sdk";

try {
  await client.sites.get("nonexistent-id");
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof AuthError) {
    // 401 - token expired or invalid
    console.error("Auth failed:", err.message);
  } else if (err instanceof ApiError) {
    // Other API errors (403, 404, 409, 429)
    console.error(`API error ${err.status}:`, err.errorCode, err.message);
  }
}

Error Classes

• HostsmithError - base class for all SDK errors
• ApiError - API returned an error response (has status, errorCode, message)
• AuthError - 401 Unauthorized (extends ApiError)
