Overview - Corsair

Use BigDataCloud through Corsair: one client, typed API calls, local DB sync. What you get:

17 typed API operations
13 synced entities (asns, bgpPrefixes, countries, emailValidations, hazardReports, networks, and 7 more) for fast .search() / .list()

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/bigdatacloud

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/bigdatacloud

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/bigdatacloud

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/bigdatacloud

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { bigdatacloud } from '@corsair-dev/bigdatacloud';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		bigdatacloud(),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_DEV_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

Multi-tenancy is the default — scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

API Key (Recommended)

No setup required yet. When you make your first request as a tenant, Corsair prompts for the API key.

bigdatacloud()

Connect a tenant

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see Connect / OAuth.

const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'bigdatacloud',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

asn.asnExtendedReceivingFromInfo

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.bigdatacloud.api.asn.asnExtendedReceivingFromInfo({});

Write No write-style endpoint inferred; pick any operation from the API reference. See the full list on the API page.

Query synced data

Synced entities support tenant.bigdatacloud.db.<entity>.search() and .list(): asns, bgpPrefixes, countries, emailValidations, hazardReports, networks, phoneValidations, reverseGeocodes, roamingStatuses, timezones, torExitNodes, userAgents, userRisks. See Database for filters and operators.
