About

psn-api is a well-tested JavaScript library that lets you get trophy, user, and game data from the PlayStation Network.

Features

  • Tiny, less than 3Kb in size.
  • No configuration needed.
  • TypeScript support that "just works".
  • Functions are small and UNIX-like. They do one thing and do it very well.
  • Extremely well-tested: 100% coverage.
  • Nightly health checks of all functions.

Many API wrappers for PSN provide high-level abstractions. For example, there may be a single call to authenticate, or a single call to a user's trophy list, or a single call to get game data, when in actuality there are multiple endpoints being hit on the PlayStation Network to handle all of these operations.

psn-api instead focuses on being low-level. Each function makes only one call. We believe this offers several benefits:

  1. psn-api functions are small and follow a UNIX-like principle of being good at only one thing. This makes it easier to compose the functionality you want for your scripts and apps.
  2. Open-source PSN wrappers are notorious for breaking when Sony changes something in their API. By offering low-level wrapper functions, we can more easily fix things when they change.
  3. Because each function is small, they are self-supporting and work in total isolation. You only pull in the code from this library you actually need.
