Interact with the XUMM SDK from Javascript / Typescript environments.
Please note! The XUMM SDK (XUMM API in general) is for BACKEND USE only. Please DO NOT use your API credentials in a FRONTEND environment.
Get the SDK straight from npm: npm install xumm-sdk
. The SDK is also available for Deno (XUMM SDK Deno Readme).
Initialize the SDK in Javascript:
const {XummSdk} = require('xumm-sdk')
... or in Typescript:
import {XummSdk} from 'xumm-sdk'
// Or with types:
// import {XummSdk, XummTypes} from 'xumm-sdk'
Now continue by constructing the XummSdk object:
const Sdk = new XummSdk()
// Or with manually provided credentials (instead of using dotenv):
// const Sdk = new XummSdk('someAppKey', 'someAppSecret')
The SDK will look in your environment or dotenv file (.env
) for the XUMM_APIKEY
and XUMM_APISECRET
values. A .env.sample
file is provided in this repository. A sample dotenv file looks like this. Alternatively, you can provide your XUMM API Key & Secret by passing them to the XummSdk constructor. If both your environment and the SDK constructor contain credentials, the values provided to the constructor will be used.
Create your app and get your XUMM API credentials at the XUMM Developer Console:
More information about the XUMM API, payloads, the API workflow, sending Push notifications, etc. please check the XUMM API Docs:
After constructing the SDK, you can call the methods:
Sdk.*
for the helper methods (see below)Sdk.payload.*
to get/update/create payloads for users to signSdk.storage.*
for your XUMM app storage (to store meta info for headless applications)
Please note all snippets below assume you constructed the XUMM SDK into the Sdk
constant, as the How to use the XUMM SDK section outlines.
The ping
method allows you to verify API access (valid credentials) and returns some info on your XUMM APP:
const pong = await Sdk.ping()
Returns <ApplicationDetails>
:
{
quota: {},
application: {
uuidv4: '00000000-1111-2222-3333-aaaaaaaaaaaa',
name: 'My XUMM APP',
webhookurl: '',
disabled: 0
},
call: { uuidv4: 'bbbbbbbb-cccc-dddd-eeee-111111111111' }
}
The getCuratedAssets
method allows you to get the list of trusted issuers and IOU's. This is the same list used to
populate the "Add Asset" button at the XUMM home screen.
const curatedAssets = await Sdk.getCuratedAssets()
Returns <CuratedAssetsResponse>
:
{
curatedAssets: {
issuers: [ 'Bitstamp', 'GateHub' ],
currencies: [ 'USD', 'BTC', 'EUR', 'ETH' ],
details: {
Bitstamp: [Object],
GateHub: [Object]
}
}
}
The getKycStatus
return the KYC status of a user based on a user_token, issued after the
user signed a Sign Request (from your app) before (see Payloads - Intro).
If a user token specified is invalid, revoked, expired, etc., the method will always
return NONE
, just like when a user didn't go through KYC. You cannot distinguish a non-KYC'd user
from an invalid token.
Alternatively, KYC status can be retrieved for an XPRL account address: the address selected in XUMM when the session KYC was initiated by.
const kycStatus = await Sdk.getKycStatus('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')
... or using an account address:
const kycStatus = await Sdk.getKycStatus('rwu1dgaUq8DCj3ZLFXzRbc1Aco5xLykMMQ')
Returns <keyof PossibleKycStatuses>
.
- Once an account has completed the XUMM KYC flow, the KYC flag will be applied to the account even if the identity document used to KYC expired. The flag shows that the account was once KYC'd by a real person with a real identity document.
- Please note that the KYC flag provided by XUMM can't be seen as a "all good, let's go ahead" flag: it should be used as one of the data points to determine if an account can be trusted. There are situations where the KYC flag is still
true
, but an account can no longer be trusted. Eg. when account keys are compromised and a 3rd party now controls the account. While unlikely, depending on the level of trust required for your application you may want to mitigate against these kinds of fraud.
The getTransaction
method allows you to get the transaction outcome (mainnet)
live from the XRP ledger, as fetched for you by the XUMM backend.
Note: it's best to retrieve these results yourself instead of relying on the XUMM platform to get live XRPL transaction information! You can use the xrpl-txdata package to do this:
const txInfo = await Sdk.getTransaction(txHash)
Returns: <XrplTransaction>
](https://github.com/XRPL-Labs/XUMM-SDK/blob/master/src/types/Meta/XrplTransaction.ts)
App Storage allows you to store a JSON object at the XUMM API platform, containing a max of 60KB of data. Your XUMM APP storage is stored at the XUMM API backend, meaning it persists until you overwrite or delete it.
This data is private, and accessible only with your own API credentials. This private JSON data can be used to store credentials / config / bootstrap info / ... for your headless application (eg. POS device).
const storageSet = await Sdk.storage.set({name: 'Wietse', age: 32, male: true})
console.log(storageSet)
// true
const storageGet = await Sdk.storage.get()
console.log(storageGet)
// { name: 'Wietse', age: 32, male: true }
const storageDelete = await Sdk.storage.delete()
console.log(storageDelete)
// true
const storageGetAfterDelete = await Sdk.storage.get()
console.log(storageGetAfterDelete)
// null
Payloads are the primary reason for the XUMM API (thus this SDK) to exist. The XUMM API Docs explain 'Payloads' like this:
An XRPL transaction "template" can be posted to the XUMM API. Your transaction tample to sign (so: your "sign request") will be persisted at the XUMM API backend. We now call it a a Payload. XUMM app user(s) can open the Payload (sign request) by scanning a QR code, opening deeplink or receiving push notification and resolve (reject or sign) on their own device.
A payload can contain an XRPL transaction template. Some properties may be omitted, as they will be added by the XUMM app when a user signs a transaction. A simple payload may look like this:
{
txjson: {
TransactionType : 'Payment',
Destination : 'rwiETSee2wMz3SBnAG8hkMsCgvGy9LWbZ1',
Amount: '1337'
}
}
As you can see, the payload looks like a regular XRPL transaction, wrapped in an txjson
object, omitting the mandatory Account
, Fee
and Sequence
properties. They will be added containing the correct values when the payload is signed by an app user.
Optionally (besides txjson
) a payload can contain these properties (TS definition):
options
to define payload options like a return URL, expiration, etc.custom_meta
to add metadata, user insruction, your own unique ID, ...user_token
to push the payload to a user (after obtaining a user specific token)
A more complex payload could look like this. A reference for payload options & custom meta can be found in the API Docs.
Instead of providing a txjson
transaction, a transaction formatted as HEX blob (string) can be provided in a txblob
property.
async Sdk.payload.get (
payload: string | CreatedPayload,
returnErrors: boolean = false
): Promise<XummPayload | null>
To get payload details, status and if resolved & signed: results (transaction, transaction hash, etc.) you can get()
a payload.
Note! Please don't use polling! The XUMM API offers Webhooks (configure your Webhook endpoint in the Developer Console) or use a subscription to receive live payload updates (for non-SDK users: Webhooks).
You can get()
a payload by:
-
Payload UUID
const payload = await Sdk.payload.get('aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-1234567890ab')
-
Passing a created Payload object (see: Sdk.payload.create)
const newPayload: XummTypes.CreatedPayload = {txjson: {...}} const created = await Sdk.payload.create(newPayload) const payload = await Sdk.payload.get(created)
If a payload can't be fetched (eg. doesn't exist), null
will be returned, unless a second param (boolean) is provided to get the SDK to throw an Error in case a payload can't be retrieved:
await Sdk.payload.get('aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-1234567890ab', true)
async Sdk.payload.create (
payload: CreatePayload,
returnErrors: boolean = false
): Promise<CreatedPayload | null>
To create a payload, a txjson
XRPL transaction can be provided. Alternatively, a transaction formatted as HEX blob (string) can be provided in a txblob
property. See the intro for more information about payloads. Take a look at the Developer Docs for more information about payloads.
The response (see: Developer Docs) of a Sdk.payload.create()
operation, a <CreatedPayload>
object, looks like this:
{
"uuid": "1289e9ae-7d5d-4d5f-b89c-18633112ce09",
"next": {
"always": "https://xumm.app/sign/1289e9ae-7d5d-4d5f-b89c-18633112ce09",
"no_push_msg_received": "https://xumm.app/sign/1289e9ae-7d5d-4d5f-b89c-18633112ce09/qr"
},
"refs": {
"qr_png": "https://xumm.app/sign/1289e9ae-7d5d-4d5f-b89c-18633112ce09_q.png",
"qr_matrix": "https://xumm.app/sign/1289e9ae-7d5d-4d5f-b89c-18633112ce09_q.json",
"qr_uri_quality_opts": [ "m", "q", "h" ],
"websocket_status": "wss://xumm.app/sign/1289e9ae-7d5d-4d5f-b89c-18633112ce09"
},
"pushed": true
}
The next.always
URL is the URL to send the end user to, to scan a QR code or automatically open the XUMM app (if on mobile). If a user_token
has been provided as part of the payload data provided to Sdk.payload.create()
, you can see if the payload has been pushed to the end user. A button "didn't receive a push notification" could then take the user to the next.no_push_msg_received
URL. The
Alternatively, user routing / instruction flows can be custom-built using the QR information provided in the refs
object, and a subscription for live status updates (opened, signed, etc.) using a WebSocket client can be setup by connecting to the refs.websocket_status
URL. Please note: this SDK already offers subscriptions. There's no need to setup your own WebSocket client, see Payload subscriptions: live updates. There's more information about the payload workflow and a paylaod lifecycle in the Developer Docs.
async Sdk.payload.cancel (
payload: string | XummPayload | CreatedPayload,
returnErrors: boolean = false
): Promise<DeletedPayload | null>
To cancel a payload, provide a payload UUID (string), a <XummPayload>
(by performing a Sdk.payload.get()
first) or a <CreatedPayload>
(by using the response of a Sdk.payload.create()
call). By cancelling an existing payload, the payload will be marked as expired and can no longer be opened by users.
Please note: if a user already opened the payload in XUMM APP, the payload cannot be cancelled: the user may still be resolving the payload in the XUMM App, and should have a chance to complete that process.
A response (generic API types here) looks like:
{
result: {
cancelled: boolean
reason: XummCancelReason
}
meta: XummPayloadMeta
custom_meta: XummCustomMeta
}
To subscribe to live payload status updates, the XUMM SDK can setup a WebSocket connection and monitor live status events. Emitted events include:
- The payload is opened by a XUMM App user (webpage)
- The payload is opened by a XUMM App user (in the app)
- Payload expiration updates (remaining time in seconds)
- The payload was resolved by rejecting
- The payload was resolved by accepting (signing)
More information about the status update events & sample event data can be found in the Developer Docs.
Status updates can be processed by providing a callback function to the Sdk.payload.subscribe()
method. Alternatively, the (by the Sdk.payload.subscribe()
method) returned raw websocket can be used to listen for WebSocket onmessage
events.
The subscription will be closed by either:
- Returning non-void in the callback function passed to the
Sdk.payload.subscribe()
method - Manually calling
<PayloadSubscription>.resolve()
on the object returned by theSdk.payload.subscribe()
method
async Sdk.payload.subscribe (
payload: string | XummPayload | CreatedPayload,
callback?: onPayloadEvent
): Promise<PayloadSubscription>
If a callback function is not provided, the subscription will stay active until the <PayloadSubscription>.resolve()
method is called manually, eg. based on handling <PayloadSubscription>.websocket.onmessage
events.
When a callback function is provided, for every paylaod specific event the callback function will be called with <SubscriptionCallbackParams>
. The <SubscriptionCallbackParams>.data
property contains parsed JSON containing event information. Either by calling <SubscriptionCallbackParams>.resolve()
or by returning a non-void value in the callback function the subscription will be ended, and the <PayloadSubscription>.resolved
promise will resolve with the value returned or passed to the <SubscriptionCallbackParams>.resolve()
method.
Resolving (by returning non-void in the callback or calling resolve()
manually) closes the WebSocket client the XUMM SDK sets up 'under the hood'.
The <PayloadSubscription>
object looks like this:
{
payload: XummPayload,
resolved: Promise<unknown> | undefined
resolve: (resolveData?: unknown) => void
websocket: WebSocket
}
Examples:
- Async process after returning data in the callback function
- Await based on returning data in the callback function
- Await based on resolving a callback event
- Await based on resolving without using a callback function
async Sdk.payload.createAndSubscribe (
payload: CreatePayload,
callback?: onPayloadEvent
): Promise<PayloadAndSubscription>
The <PayloadAndSubscription>
object is basically a <PayloadSubscription>
object with the created payload results in the created
property:
All information that applies on Sdk.payload.create()
and Sdk.payload.subscribe()
applies. Differences are:
- The input for a
Sdk.payload.createAndSubscribe()
call isn't a payload UUID / existing payload, but a paykiad to create. - The response object also contains (
<PayloadAndSubscription>.created
) the response obtained when creating the payload
The XUMM SDK will emit debugging info when invoked with a debug environment variable configured like: DEBUG=xumm-sdk*
You'll see the XUMM SDK debug messages if you invoke your script instead of this:
node myApp.js
like this:
DEBUG=xumm-sdk* node myApp.js
