Getting Started with Kojin Studios API

Introduction

Welcome to the Kojin Studios development platform. Our APIs and tools are designed to help you build exceptional digital experiences with the precision and elegance that defines our approach to technology.

This documentation will guide you through integrating with our platform, from initial setup to advanced implementations. Whether you're building a simple integration or a complex application, we provide the tools and support you need to succeed.

Quick Setup

To get started with our platform, you'll need to complete these essential steps:

1. Create a developer account at our developer portal
2. Generate your API keys for authentication
3. Install our SDK in your preferred language
4. Make your first API call to verify connectivity

Prerequisites

• Node.js 16+ or Python 3.8+ (depending on your chosen SDK)
• Basic understanding of REST APIs
• A Kojin Studios developer account

Installation

Install the Kojin Studios SDK using your preferred package manager:

JavaScript/Node.js

npm install @kojin-studios/sdk
# or
yarn add @kojin-studios/sdk

Python

pip install kojin-studios-sdk
# or
poetry add kojin-studios-sdk

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using your API key. Include your key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-here

Basic Usage

Here's a simple example to get you started with the JavaScript SDK:

import { KojinClient } from '@kojin-studios/sdk';

const client = new KojinClient({
  apiKey: process.env.KOJIN_API_KEY,
  environment: 'production' // or 'sandbox'
});

// Make your first API call
async function getProjects() {
  try {
    const response = await client.projects.list();
    console.log('Projects:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
}

getProjects();

Python Example

from kojin_studios import KojinClient
import os

client = KojinClient(
    api_key=os.getenv('KOJIN_API_KEY'),
    environment='production'
)

# List projects
try:
    projects = client.projects.list()
    print(f"Found {len(projects.data)} projects")
except Exception as error:
    print(f"Error: {error}")

Rate Limits

Our API implements fair usage policies to ensure optimal performance for all users:

• Free tier: 1,000 requests per hour
• Pro tier: 10,000 requests per hour
• Enterprise: Custom limits available

Response Format

All API responses follow a consistent JSON structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    // Response payload
  },
  "meta": {
    "timestamp": "2025-05-25T12:00:00Z",
    "request_id": "req_12345",
    "rate_limit": {
      "remaining": 999,
      "reset_at": "2025-05-25T13:00:00Z"
    }
  }
}

Error Handling

Errors are returned with appropriate HTTP status codes and detailed error information:

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "Invalid request parameters",
    "details": {
      "field": "email",
      "issue": "Invalid email format"
    }
  },
  "meta": {
    "timestamp": "2025-05-25T12:00:00Z",
    "request_id": "req_12345"
  }
}

"In the way of the craftsman, every error is a teacher, every challenge an opportunity to refine one's skill." - Our approach to API design reflects this philosophy of continuous improvement.

Next Steps

Now that you have the basics, explore these advanced topics:

• Webhooks: Receive real-time notifications
• Batch Operations: Process multiple requests efficiently
• Advanced Authentication: OAuth 2.0 and JWT tokens
• Custom Integrations: Build tailored solutions
