## Usage Examples
### Making Payments
```typescript
import { BunqPayment } from '@apiclient .xyz/bunq';
// Simple payment
const payment = BunqPayment.builder(bunq, monetaryAccount)
.amount('10.00', 'EUR')
.toIban('NL91ABNA0417164300', 'John Doe')
.description('Coffee payment')
.create();
// Batch payment
const batch = new BunqBatchPayment(bunq, monetaryAccount);
batch
.addPayment({
amount: { value: '5.00', currency: 'EUR' },
counterparty_alias: { type: 'IBAN', value: 'NL91ABNA0417164300' },
description: 'Payment 1'
})
.addPayment({
amount: { value: '15.00', currency: 'EUR' },
counterparty_alias: { type: 'EMAIL', value: 'friend@example .com' },
description: 'Payment 2'
});
await batch.create();
```
### Managing Cards
```typescript
import { BunqCard } from '@apiclient .xyz/bunq';
// List all cards
const cards = await BunqCard.list(bunq);
// Activate a card
await cards[0].activate('activation-code');
// Update spending limit
await cards[0].updateLimit('100.00', 'EUR');
// Block a card
await cards[0].block('LOST');
// Order a new card
const newCard = await BunqCard.order(bunq, {
secondLine: 'Travel Card',
nameOnCard: 'JOHN DOE',
type: 'MASTERCARD'
});
```
### Scheduled Payments
```typescript
import { BunqScheduledPayment } from '@apiclient .xyz/bunq';
// Create a recurring payment
const scheduled = BunqScheduledPayment.builder(bunq, monetaryAccount)
.amount('50.00', 'EUR')
.toIban('NL91ABNA0417164300', 'Landlord')
.description('Monthly rent')
.scheduleMonthly('2024-01-01T10:00:00Z', '2024-12-31T10:00:00Z')
.create();
// List scheduled payments
const schedules = await BunqScheduledPayment.list(bunq, monetaryAccount.id);
```
### Request Money
```typescript
import { BunqRequestInquiry } from '@apiclient .xyz/bunq';
// Create a payment request
const request = BunqRequestInquiry.builder(bunq, monetaryAccount)
.amount('25.00', 'EUR')
.fromEmail('friend@example .com', 'My Friend')
.description('Dinner split')
.allowBunqme()
.create();
// The request will include a bunq.me URL for easy sharing
console.log('Share this link:', request.bunqmeShareUrl);
```
### File Attachments
```typescript
import { BunqAttachment } from '@apiclient .xyz/bunq';
// Upload a file
const attachment = new BunqAttachment(bunq);
const attachmentUuid = await attachment.uploadFile('/path/to/receipt.pdf', 'Receipt');
// Attach to a payment
const payment = BunqPayment.builder(bunq, monetaryAccount)
.amount('99.99', 'EUR')
.toIban('NL91ABNA0417164300')
.description('Purchase with receipt')
.attachments([attachmentUuid])
.create();
```
### Export Statements
```typescript
import { BunqExport, ExportBuilder } from '@apiclient .xyz/bunq';
// Export last month's transactions as PDF
await new ExportBuilder(bunq, monetaryAccount)
.asPdf()
.lastMonth()
.downloadTo('/path/to/statement.pdf');
// Export custom date range as CSV
await new ExportBuilder(bunq, monetaryAccount)
.asCsv()

});
// Register handlers
webhookServer.getHandler().onPayment((payment) => {
console.log('New payment:', payment.amount.value, payment.description);
});
webhookServer.getHandler().onCard((card) => {
console.log('Card event:', card.status);
});
// Start server and register with bunq
await webhookServer.start();
await webhookServer.register();
```
### Sandbox Testing
```typescript
// Create a sandbox account
const sandboxBunq = new BunqAccount({
apiKey: '', // Will be generated
deviceName: 'Sandbox Test',
environment: 'SANDBOX'
});
// Create a sandbox user with API key
const apiKey = await sandboxBunq.createSandboxUser();
console.log('Sandbox API key:', apiKey);
// Now reinitialize with the API key
const bunq = new BunqAccount({
apiKey: apiKey,
deviceName: 'Sandbox Test',
