Usage
Basic usage patterns and common implementations.
Authentication

const client = new OupickyLab({
apiKey: 'your-api-key-here',
environment: 'production' // or 'sandbox'
});
// Authenticate
await client.auth.login();
Making API Calls

const userData = await client.users.get('user-id');
// Create new resource
const newProject = await client.projects.create({
name: 'My Project',
description: 'A sample project'
});
Examples
Real-world examples and use cases.
User Management
// Complete user management example
class UserManager {
constructor(apiKey) {
this.client = new OupickyLab({ apiKey });
}
async createUser(userData) {
try {
const user = await this.client.users.create(userData);
console.log('User created:', user.id);
return user;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to create user:', error);
throw error;
}
}
async updateUser(userId, updates) {
return await this.client.users.update(userId, updates);
}
}
Data Processing
// Process large datasets efficiently
async function processData(dataset) {
const processor = client.data.createProcessor();
const results = await processor
.transform(dataset)
.filter(item => item.active)
.map(item => ({ ...item, processed: true }))
.execute();
return results;
}
Configuration
Advanced configuration options and environment setup.
// oupicky.config.js
module.exports = {
apiKey: process.env.OUPICKY_API_KEY,
timeout: 30000,
retries: 3,

debug: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
};
