# @apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud
`@apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud` is an unofficial TypeScript client for the Hetzner Cloud API. It wraps the day-to-day infrastructure primitives this package currently supports - servers, volumes, and firewalls - behind small classes that keep the original Hetzner resource data available while giving you convenient methods for create, list, label-filter, and delete workflows.
## Issue Reporting and Security
For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.
## Why Use It?
- TypeScript-first ESM package for Hetzner Cloud automation.
- Simple `HetznerAccount` object that owns API token authentication.
- Resource classes for `HetznerServer`, `HetznerVolume`, and `HetznerFirewall`.
- Label-based lookup helpers for predictable automation runs.
- Typed request and response shapes generated from the Hetzner OpenAPI specification.
- Escape hatch via `account.request()` whenever you need an endpoint that does not yet have a higher-level class method.
## Install
```bash
pnpm add @apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud
```
## Quick Start
```typescript
import {
HetznerAccount,
HetznerFirewall,
HetznerVolume,
} from '@apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud';
const account = new HetznerAccount('your-hetzner-api-token');
const server = await account.createServer({
name: 'demo-api-01',
type: 'cpx31',
location: 'nbg1',
labels: {
app: 'demo-api',
environment: 'staging',
},
userData: '#!/bin/bash\napt-get update',
});
const volume = await HetznerVolume.create(account, {
name: 'demo-api-data',
size: 25,
location: 'nbg1',
labels: {
app: 'demo-api',
environment: 'staging',
},
server,
});
const firewall = await HetznerFirewall.create(account, {
name: 'demo-api-web',
labels: {
app: 'demo-api',
environment: 'staging',
},
rules: [
{
direction: 'in',
protocol: 'tcp',
port: '443',
source_ips: ['0.0.0.0/0', '::/0'],
},
],
});
console.log(server.data);
console.log(volume.data);
console.log(firewall.data);
```
## Core Concepts
### Accounts
`HetznerAccount` stores your Hetzner Cloud API token and exposes the shared request layer used by all resource classes.
```typescript
import { HetznerAccount } from '@apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud';
const account = new HetznerAccount('your-hetzner-api-token');
```
Available account helpers:
- `account.getServers()` lists all servers visible to the token.
- `account.getServersByLabel(labels)` lists servers and returns exact label matches.
- `account.createServer(options)` creates a new server.
- `account.request(method, path, payload)` calls the Hetzner Cloud API directly.
The direct request helper returns an object shaped like this:
```typescript
const response = await account.request('GET', '/servers', {});
console.log(response.statusCode);
console.log(response.body);
```
The current implementation logs request metadata and response bodies to the console, which is useful during automation debugging and important to remember when running with sensitive payloads.
### Servers
Servers are represented by `HetznerServer`. The package can create, list, filter, and delete them.
```typescript
const server = await account.createServer({
name: 'worker-01',
type: 'cpx41',
location: 'fsn1',
labels: {
role: 'worker',
},
userData: '#!/bin/bash\necho ready',
});
const allServers = await account.getServers();
const workerServers = await account.getServersByLabel({ role: 'worker' });
await server.delete();
```
`createServer()` currently creates Ubuntu 22.04 servers, starts them immediately, and enables public IPv4 and IPv6 networking.
Supported server type names are:
```text
cx11, cx21, cx31, cx41, cx51,
ccx11, ccx21, ccx31, ccx41, ccx51,
ccx13, ccx23, ccx33, ccx43, ccx53, ccx63,
cpx11, cpx21, cpx31, cpx41, cpx51, cpx61, cpx70, cpx71, cpx90
```
Supported location names are:
```text
fsn1, nbg1, hel1, ash, hil
```
### Volumes
Volumes are represented by `HetznerVolume`. A volume is created for and attached to an existing `HetznerServer` instance.
```typescript
import { HetznerVolume } from '@apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud';
const volume = await HetznerVolume.create(account, {
name: 'worker-01-data',
size: 50,
location: 'fsn1',
labels: {
role: 'worker',
},
server,
});
const allVolumes = await HetznerVolume.getVolumes(account);
const workerVolumes = await HetznerVolume.getVolumesByLabel(account, { role: 'worker' });
await volume.delete();
```
`HetznerVolume.create()` currently formats new volumes as `xfs` and attaches them to `options.server.data.id`.
### Firewalls
Firewalls are represented by `HetznerFirewall`. The package can create firewalls with rules, list them, filter them by label, and delete them.
```typescript
import { HetznerFirewall } from '@apiclient.xyz/hetznercloud';
const firewall = await HetznerFirewall.create(account, {
name: 'web-ingress',
labels: {
app: 'frontend',
},
rules: [
{
direction: 'in',
protocol: 'tcp',
port: '80',
source_ips: ['0.0.0.0/0', '::/0'],
},
{
direction: 'in',
protocol: 'tcp',
port: '443',
source_ips: ['0.0.0.0/0', '::/0'],
},
],
});
const allFirewalls = await HetznerFirewall.getFirewalls(account);
const frontendFirewalls = await HetznerFirewall.getFirewallsByLabel(account, { app: 'frontend' });
await firewall.delete();
```
### Label Filtering
The label helpers perform exact matches for every key/value pair you pass in. This makes them practical for idempotent automation where labels are your resource ownership contract.
```typescript
const servers = await account.getServersByLabel({
app: 'demo-api',
environment: 'staging',
});
```
## Direct API Access
Use `account.request()` when you need access to an endpoint that is not wrapped yet. Pass the HTTP method, the API path below `/v1`, and a payload object.
```typescript
const locationsResponse = await account.request('GET', '/locations', {});
if (locationsResponse.statusCode >= 200 && locationsResponse.statusCode < 300) {
console.log(locationsResponse.body);
}
```
For non-`GET` and non-`DELETE` requests, the payload is sent as JSON.
## Development
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm test
pnpm run build
```
Tests use `@git.zone/tstest`. Live Hetzner API tests look for `HETZNER_API_TOKEN`; without a usable token, the live API parts are skipped.
The OpenAPI types can be refreshed with:
```bash
pnpm run updateOpenapi
```
