solaris-client

npm version TypeScript License: MIT

Production-grade TypeScript SDK for the Solaris Embedded Finance API.

Covers the full API surface — Onboarding, KYC, Digital Banking, SEPA, Cards, Lending, and Webhooks — with idiomatic TypeScript: full type safety, async generators for lazy pagination, automatic retries, OAuth2 token management, and Web Crypto webhook verification.

Features

  • Full API coverage — 259+ endpoints across Persons, Businesses, KYC, Accounts, SEPA, Cards, Loans, Trade Finance, and more
  • 🔐 OAuth2 token management — Automatic client-credentials token fetch and caching with proactive refresh
  • 🔁 Automatic retries — Exponential back-off with jitter on 429/5xx responses
  • 🌊 Lazy pagination — Async generators (for await) for memory-efficient iteration over large result sets
  • 🪝 Webhook verification — HMAC-SHA256 signature verification using the Web Crypto API (Node 18+, Deno, Bun, browsers)
  • 🔑 Idempotency keys — Auto-generated on every POST/PUT/PATCH, overridable per-request
  • 💪 Type-safe — Complete TypeScript types for every request param, response body, and error
  • 🌐 Universal — Works in Node.js 18+, Deno, Bun, and modern browsers (via custom fetch)
  • 🪶 Zero runtime dependencies — Uses only the Web platform APIs

Installation

npm install solaris-client
# or
yarn add solaris-client
# or
pnpm add solaris-client

Requirements: Node.js ≥ 18 (for fetch, crypto.subtle, and FormData).

Quick Start

import { SolarisClient } from "solaris-client";

const client = new SolarisClient({
  clientId: process.env.SOLARIS_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.SOLARIS_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  environment: "sandbox", // or "production"
});

// ── Onboard a person ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
const person = await client.persons.create({
  first_name: "Jane",
  last_name: "Doe",
  email: "jane@example.com",
  birth_date: "1990-01-15",
  nationality: "DE",
  address: {
    line_1: "Unter den Linden 1",
    postal_code: "10117",
    city: "Berlin",
    country: "DE",
  },
});

// ── Verify mobile number ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
await client.persons.createMobileNumber(person.id, "+491701234567");
await client.persons.authorizeMobileNumber(person.id); // sends SMS
await client.persons.confirmMobileNumber(person.id, "123456");

// ── Start KYC identification ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
const identification = await client.kyc.createPersonIdentification(person.id, {
  method: "idnow",
});
// Redirect customer to: identification.url

// ── Check account balance ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
const accounts = await client.accounts.listPersonAccounts(person.id);
const account = accounts[0]!;
const balance = await client.accounts.getBalance(account.id);
console.log(`Balance: ${balance.balance.amount} ${balance.balance.currency}`);

// ── Initiate a SEPA transfer (triggers SCA/2FA) ───────────────────────────────
const transfer = await client.sepa.createPersonCreditTransfer(
  person.id,
  account.id,
  {
    recipient_iban: "DE89370400440532013000",
    recipient_name: "Max Mustermann",
    amount: 10_000, // cents = €100.00
    currency: "EUR",
    reference: "Invoice #123",
  },
);

// ── Complete SCA via SMS OTP ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
const changeRequestId = (transfer as { change_request_id: string }).change_request_id;
await client.changeRequests.authorizeWithSms(changeRequestId);
// Customer enters OTP from SMS:
await client.changeRequests.confirmWithOtp(changeRequestId, "483920");

Configuration

const client = new SolarisClient({
  clientId: "your_client_id",      // required
  clientSecret: "your_secret",     // required
  environment: "sandbox",          // "sandbox" | "production" (default: "sandbox")
  timeout: 30_000,                 // request timeout in ms (default: 30_000)
  maxRetries: 3,                   // retry count on 429/5xx (default: 3)
  baseUrl: "http://localhost:4040", // override base URL (testing)
  fetch: customFetch,              // custom fetch implementation
});

Error Handling

All methods throw SolarisError on failure. Use instanceof to catch API errors:

import { SolarisClient, SolarisError } from "solaris-client";

try {
  const person = await client.persons.get("cper_unknown");
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof SolarisError) {
    console.log(err.code);        // "not_found"
    console.log(err.status);      // 404
    console.log(err.message);     // "Person not found"
    console.log(err.requestId);   // "req_abc123" — useful for support tickets
    console.log(err.details);     // raw error objects from Solaris API

    // Check if SCA is required (202 response body)
    if (err.isChangeRequestRequired()) {
      const crId = err.changeRequestId!;
      await client.changeRequests.authorizeWithSms(crId);
    }
  }
}

Error codes

Code HTTP Description
unauthorized 401 Invalid or missing credentials
forbidden 403 Insufficient permissions
not_found 404 Resource does not exist
conflict 409 State conflict (e.g. duplicate)
unprocessable_entity 422 Validation failure
rate_limited 429 Too many requests (auto-retried)
internal_server_error 500 Solaris server error (auto-retried)
timeout Request timed out
network_error TCP/DNS-level failure

Pagination

List methods return a single page. For large datasets use the async generator:

// Single page
const page = await client.persons.list({ per_page: 50 });
console.log(page.data);       // Person[]
console.log(page.meta.total); // total count

// Lazy page-by-page iteration (recommended — never loads all data into memory)
for await (const page of client.persons.listAll()) {
  for (const person of page.data) {
    await process(person);
  }
}

// Or use the raw HTTP client for any endpoint:
for await (const page of client.http.paginate("/v1/accounts/cacc_123/bookings")) {
  console.log(page.data);
}

// Collect all into an array (use only for small datasets)
const all = await client.http.listAll("/v1/persons");

Webhooks

Express / Node.js

import express from "express";
import { verifyAndParseWebhook, SolarisError } from "solaris-client";

const app = express();

// Must use raw body — do NOT run JSON middleware before this route
app.post(
  "/webhooks/solaris",
  express.raw({ type: "*/*" }),
  async (req, res) => {
    const sig = req.headers["solaris-webhook-signature"] as string;

    let event;
    try {
      event = await verifyAndParseWebhook(
        req.body as Buffer,
        sig,
        process.env.SOLARIS_WEBHOOK_SECRET!,
      );
    } catch (err) {
      if (err instanceof SolarisError) {
        res.status(401).json({ error: err.message });
        return;
      }
      res.status(400).json({ error: "Invalid payload" });
      return;
    }

    // Always return 200 — Solaris retries on non-2xx
    res.sendStatus(200);

    // Handle events asynchronously
    switch (event.event_type) {
      case "BOOKING":
        await handleBooking(event.payload);
        break;
      case "IDENTIFICATION":
        await handleIdentification(event.payload);
        break;
      case "SCA_CHALLENGE":
        await handleScaChallenge(event.payload);
        break;
      // Always add a default for forward compatibility
      default:
        console.log(`Unhandled event: ${event.event_type}`);
    }
  },
);

Manual verification

import { verifyWebhookSignature, parseWebhookEvent } from "solaris-client";

// Step 1: verify signature (throws SolarisError on failure)
await verifyWebhookSignature(rawBody, signature, secret);

// Step 2: parse the event
const event = parseWebhookEvent(JSON.parse(rawBody.toString()));
console.log(event.event_type);   // "BOOKING"
console.log(event.delivery_id);  // "del_abc123"
console.log(event.payload);      // full decoded body
console.log(event.received_at);  // Date

Consumer Loan Flow

// 1. Create application
const app = await client.lending.createConsumerLoanApplication(personId, {
  amount: 10_000_00,    // €10,000 in cents
  currency: "EUR",
  term_months: 36,
  purpose: "CONSUMER_GOODS",
});

// 2. Wait for CONSUMER_LOAN_APPLICATION webhook with status "OFFERED"

// 3. Download SECCI — legally required before signing (EU Consumer Credit Directive)
const secciPdf = await client.lending.getSECCI(personId, app.id, offerId);
// Present secciPdf to customer

// 4. Get final contract
const contractPdf = await client.lending.getContract(personId, app.id, offerId);

// 5. Create loan after customer signs
const loan = await client.lending.createLoan(personId, app.id, {
  offer_id: offerId,
  signing_id: signingId,
});

Change Request (SCA/2FA) Flow

Many write operations (transfers, person updates, trusted IBANs) require 2FA. The API returns a 202 with change_request_id:

// SMS OTP flow
await client.changeRequests.authorizeWithSms(changeRequestId);
const completed = await client.changeRequests.confirmWithOtp(changeRequestId, otp);

// Device signing flow (Solaris mobile SDK)
const { challenge } = await client.changeRequests.getDeviceChallenge(changeRequestId);
// Pass challenge to mobile SDK → get signedToken
const completed = await client.changeRequests.confirmWithDevice(changeRequestId, signedToken);

// Poll until complete (useful in tests; prefer webhooks in production)
const result = await client.changeRequests.pollUntilComplete(changeRequestId, {
  intervalMs: 2_000,
  maxAttempts: 15,
});

Sandbox Testing

// Simulate a card authorization (triggers SCA_CHALLENGE webhook)
await client.cards.sandboxSimulateAuthorization(cardId, {
  amount: 5_000,
  currency: "EUR",
});

// Robot-based KYC identification
await client.kyc.sandboxIdentifyWithRobot("AUTOTEST-APPROVED");

// Simulate expired ID document
await client.persons.simulateIdDocumentExpiry(personId);

// Set cash operation status manually
await client.transactions.sandboxSetCashOperationStatus(accountId, opId, "PAID");
