What is the LiteAPI SDK?

The LiteAPI SDK is a collection of software tools, libraries, and documentation designed to help you integrate LiteAPI's services into your application seamlessly. It abstracts the complexities of direct API calls, providing you with pre-built functions and methods to interact with LiteAPI's endpoints.

Why use the LiteAPI SDK?

1. Simplified Integration: The LiteAPI SDK takes care of constructing HTTP requests, parsing responses, and handling errors. You can focus on building your application's core features without worrying about the underlying API details.

2. Consistency: The SDK ensures that all interactions with LiteAPI are consistent and reliable, reducing the risk of errors and making it easier for multiple developers to work on the same project.

3. Efficiency: Quickly get started with LiteAPI without needing to understand every detail of the API. The SDK speeds up development and allows you to integrate LiteAPI's features more efficiently.

How does the LiteAPI SDK work?

Using the LiteAPI SDK involves a few simple steps:

1. Installation: Install the LiteAPI SDK into your development environment using a package manager like npm for Node.js.

2. Initialization: Initialize the SDK in your application by providing your API key and any other required configuration details.

3. Making Requests: Use the SDK's methods to interact with LiteAPI endpoints. These methods handle all the necessary details internally.

4. Handling Responses: The SDK parses API responses and provides the data in a convenient format for your application to use.

Example with LiteAPI Node.js SDK

Here's a simple example of how to use the LiteAPI Node.js SDK:

// Import the SDK
const liteApi = require('liteapi-node-sdk')(YOUR_API_KEY);

async function fetchRates() {
    try {
        const result = await liteApi.getFullRates({
          checkin: "2024-12-15",
          checkout: "2024-12-18",
          currency: "USD",
          guestNationality: "US",
          hotelIds: ["lp3803c", "lp1f982", "lp19b70", "lp19e75"],
          occupancies: [
              {
                  rooms: 1,
                  adults: 2,
                  children: [2, 3]
              }
          ]
      	});  
      
      	console.log(result);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching rates:', error);
    }
}

fetchRates();

In this example, the SDK handles the complexities of making the HTTP request, sending it to LiteAPI, and parsing the response. You simply call the liteApi.getFullRates method with the required parameters, and the SDK does the rest.

Conclusion

The LiteAPI SDK is an invaluable tool for integrating LiteAPI services into your application. It saves you time, ensures consistency, and reduces the risk of errors. By using the LiteAPI SDK, you can focus on building great applications without worrying about the complexities of API integration.
