Getting Started
Installation
Prerequisites and steps to install a FinCheckers environment for development or evaluation.
- Getting Started
- 1 min read
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22 (same major as the FinCheckers web applications)
- Access credentials for your organisation’s FinCheckers environment
- Network reachability to FinCheckers API endpoints published for your tenant
Exact package names and registry URLs are issued with environment access. This guide describes the install shape, not a public distribution path.
Install the application package
npm install @fincheckers/sdk
Pin the major version that matches your tenant’s API release. Confirm compatibility in the Release notes for that version.
Configure environment
Create a local environment file (never commit secrets):
FINCHECKERS_API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com/v1
FINCHECKERS_TENANT_ID=your-tenant-id
FINCHECKERS_API_TOKEN=your-token
| Variable | Purpose |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| FINCHECKERS_API_BASE_URL | Tenant API base URL |
| FINCHECKERS_TENANT_ID | Tenant identifier |
| FINCHECKERS_API_TOKEN | Machine or personal access token |
Verify connectivity
npx fincheckers whoami
A successful call returns tenant id, environment name, and token scope. Failures usually indicate wrong base URL, expired token, or missing network allowlisting.
