Shortcut plugin

Use Shortcut through Corsair: one client, typed API calls. Store a Shortcut API token as the API key. Requests use the Shortcut-Token header; deprecated token query authentication is not used. Shortcut permits 200 requests per minute, and the shared transport honors Retry-After on 429 responses. Webhook receivers and webhook-integration management routes are not included. What you get:

140 typed API operations

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/shortcut better-sqlite3
npm install --save-dev @types/better-sqlite3

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/shortcut better-sqlite3
yarn add --dev @types/better-sqlite3

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/shortcut better-sqlite3
pnpm install --save-dev @types/better-sqlite3

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/shortcut better-sqlite3
bun add --dev @types/better-sqlite3

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

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

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		shortcut(),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	multiTenancy: true,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

With multiTenancy: true, scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

Choose authentication

API Key (Recommended)

Store the Shortcut API key before the first call: pnpm corsair setup --plugin=shortcut --tenant=acme api_key=<your-key> (leave out --tenant without multiTenancy), or pass it as key in the plugin options. With Hub, each tenant enters their own key on the connect page. See API key auth.

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: 'shortcut',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

getCategory.get

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.shortcut.api.getCategory.get({});

createCategory.post

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.shortcut.api.createCategory.post({});

See the full list on the API page.
