Overview

How to integrate today — direct HTTP calls against the Ingestion & Decisioning API — and what's planned.

No published package yet

There is currently no published npm package (or any other package-manager artifact) for Retidal. If you see an npm install instruction for one anywhere, it’s wrong — verified against the npm registry at the time of writing, no retidal, @retidal/sdk, or @trackly/sdk package exists there. The integration path below (direct HTTP calls) is what actually works today.

Every capability — event ingestion, identity linking, decisioning, coupons, profile writes — is a plain HTTP JSON API, authenticated with a single X-API-Key header. This works from any language with an HTTP client: there is no client library required to integrate.

bash
curl -X POST https://api.retidal.com/api/v1/t \
-H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "eventName": "page_view", "visitorId": "vid_abc123" }'

Start with Sending events for the full request/response contract of POST /api/v1/t (including the 202 vs ?sync=1 distinction, which matters more than almost anything else on this platform), then Identify to link a visitor to a logged-in user. The Ingestion & Decisioning API reference documents every endpoint with generated request/response schemas and examples in multiple languages.

TypeScript today: type the HTTP calls yourself

Section titled “TypeScript today: type the HTTP calls yourself”

Since there’s no installable package, TypeScript usage means writing a small typed wrapper around fetch against the documented POST /api/v1/t contract — not importing anything from a registry. That page gives you a complete, copy-pasteable module built from the real ingestion schema, with proper types for every documented response shape (202, 200 sync, 400, 401, 422, 503).

A first-party TypeScript SDK is under active development in the platform’s own codebase, but as of this writing it has not been published anywhere you can install it from. This page will be updated with real install instructions the moment that changes — until then, treat the direct-HTTP path above as the supported integration method, not a fallback.
