Lystica-Cloud

Official Node.js & TypeScript SDK for the Lystica Cloud API.

Access professional contacts, companies, email campaigns, and lists programmatically. Integrate Lystica data into your own applications, CRMs, and workflows.

Installation

npm install lystica-cloud

yarn add lystica-cloud

pnpm add lystica-cloud

Quick Start

import { LysticaCloud } from "lystica-cloud";

const lystica = new LysticaCloud({
  apiKey: process.env.LYSTICA_API_KEY!,
});

// Fetch contacts
const { data, meta } = await lystica.contacts.list({
  limit: 50,
  industry: "Technology",
});

console.log(`Found ${meta.total} contacts`);
data.forEach((contact) => {
  console.log(`${contact.fullName} — ${contact.email}`);
});

Getting an API Key

1. Sign in to lystica.cloud
2. Go to Dashboard → API Keys
3. Click Create API Key
4. Copy the key immediately (it's only shown once)
5. Store it securely (environment variable, secrets manager, etc.)

API keys use the format lys_live_... (production) or lys_test_... (sandbox).

Configuration

const lystica = new LysticaCloud({
  apiKey: "lys_live_...",       // Required
  baseUrl: "https://...",       // Default: https://api.lystica.cloud
  timeout: 30000,               // Default: 30s
  maxRetries: 2,                // Default: 2 (retries on 5xx / network errors)
});

Option	Type	Default	Description
apiKey	string	—	Required. Your Lystica API key.
baseUrl	string	https://api.lystica.cloud	API base URL.
timeout	number	30000	Request timeout in ms.
maxRetries	number	2	Auto-retries on 5xx / network errors.

Resources

Contacts

// List with filters
const { data, meta } = await lystica.contacts.list({
  limit: 100,
  industry: "Finance",
  country: "United States",
  seniority: "Director",
});

// Get by ID
const contact = await lystica.contacts.get("cnt_abc123");

// Create
const newContact = await lystica.contacts.create({
  email: "jane@example.com",
  firstName: "Jane",
  lastName: "Doe",
  company: "Acme Inc",
  tags: ["lead", "enterprise"],
});

// Update
const updated = await lystica.contacts.update("cnt_abc123", {
  jobTitle: "VP of Engineering",
});

// Delete
await lystica.contacts.delete("cnt_abc123");

// Search
const { data: results } = await lystica.contacts.search("jane@example.com");

// Tag management
await lystica.contacts.addTags("cnt_abc123", ["vip"]);
await lystica.contacts.removeTags("cnt_abc123", ["old-tag"]);

// Iterate all (auto-pagination)
for await (const contact of lystica.contacts.listAll({ industry: "SaaS" })) {
  console.log(contact.fullName);
}

Companies

// List
const { data } = await lystica.companies.list({
  industry: "Technology",
  size: "51-200",
});

// Get by ID
const company = await lystica.companies.get("cmp_abc123");

// Search
const { data: results } = await lystica.companies.search("acme");

// List contacts in a company
const { data: contacts } = await lystica.companies.listContacts("cmp_abc123");

// Iterate all
for await (const company of lystica.companies.listAll()) {
  console.log(company.name);
}

Emails

// Send an email
const email = await lystica.emails.send({
  from: "you@yourdomain.com",
  to: "recipient@example.com",
  subject: "Hello from Lystica",
  html: "<h1>Welcome!</h1>",
  text: "Welcome!",
});

// Schedule for later
const scheduled = await lystica.emails.send({
  from: "you@yourdomain.com",
  to: ["user1@example.com", "user2@example.com"],
  subject: "Weekly Update",
  html: "<p>Here's your weekly update...</p>",
  scheduledAt: "2026-03-01T09:00:00Z",
});

// Check status
const status = await lystica.emails.get("eml_abc123");
console.log(status.status); // "queued" | "sent" | "delivered" | "bounced" | "failed"

// Cancel a scheduled email
await lystica.emails.cancel("eml_abc123");

// List emails
const { data: emails } = await lystica.emails.list({ status: "bounced" });

Lists

// Create a list
const list = await lystica.lists.create({
  name: "Enterprise Leads Q1",
  description: "Filtered leads for Q1 outreach",
});

// Update
await lystica.lists.update("lst_abc123", { name: "Enterprise Leads Q2" });

// Add/remove contacts
await lystica.lists.addContacts("lst_abc123", ["cnt_1", "cnt_2", "cnt_3"]);
await lystica.lists.removeContacts("lst_abc123", ["cnt_1"]);

// List contacts in a list
const { data: contacts } = await lystica.lists.listContacts("lst_abc123");

// Delete
await lystica.lists.delete("lst_abc123");

Verify API Key

const info = await lystica.verifyKey();
console.log(info.name);     // "Production Key"
console.log(info.scopes);   // ["contacts:read", "contacts:write", ...]

---

Pagination

All list endpoints return cursor-based paginated responses:

interface PaginatedResponse<T> {
  data: T[];
  meta: {
    total: number;
    limit: number;
    cursor: string | null;
    hasMore: boolean;
  };
}

Manual pagination:

let cursor: string | undefined;

do {
  const response = await lystica.contacts.list({ limit: 100, cursor });
  process.stdout.write(`Fetched ${response.data.length} contacts\n`);
  cursor = response.meta.cursor ?? undefined;
} while (cursor);

Automatic pagination (async generator):

for await (const contact of lystica.contacts.listAll({ country: "US" })) {
  console.log(contact.email);
}

---

Webhooks

Verify incoming webhook payloads from Lystica:

import { Webhooks } from "lystica-cloud";

const webhooks = new Webhooks("whsec_your_signing_secret");

// In your webhook handler (e.g. Express):
app.post("/webhooks/lystica", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const event = await webhooks.verify(
      req.body,                             // raw body string
      req.headers["x-lystica-signature"],   // signature header
      req.headers["x-lystica-timestamp"],   // timestamp header
    );

    switch (event.type) {
      case "contact.created":
        console.log("New contact:", event.data);
        break;
      case "email.delivered":
        console.log("Email delivered:", event.data);
        break;
    }

    res.status(200).send("ok");
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(400).send("Invalid signature");
  }
});

Error Handling

The SDK throws typed errors you can catch individually:

import {
  LysticaCloud,
  LysticaAuthError,
  LysticaForbiddenError,
  LysticaNotFoundError,
  LysticaValidationError,
  LysticaRateLimitError,
  LysticaError,
  LysticaNetworkError,
} from "lystica-cloud";

try {
  const { data } = await lystica.contacts.list();
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof LysticaAuthError) {
    console.error("Invalid or expired API key");
  } else if (err instanceof LysticaForbiddenError) {
    console.error("Insufficient permissions");
  } else if (err instanceof LysticaNotFoundError) {
    console.error("Resource not found");
  } else if (err instanceof LysticaValidationError) {
    console.error("Invalid request data:", err.message);
  } else if (err instanceof LysticaRateLimitError) {
    console.error("Rate limit exceeded — slow down");
  } else if (err instanceof LysticaNetworkError) {
    console.error("Network failure:", err.message);
  } else if (err instanceof LysticaError) {
    console.error(`API error ${err.status}: ${err.message}`);
  } else {
    throw err;
  }
}

Error Class	HTTP Status	When
LysticaAuthError	401	Missing or invalid API key
LysticaForbiddenError	403	Insufficient scope or IP block
LysticaNotFoundError	404	Resource does not exist
LysticaValidationError	422	Invalid request data
LysticaRateLimitError	429	Rate limit exceeded
LysticaError	any	All other API errors
LysticaNetworkError	—	Network failure or timeout

TypeScript

Full TypeScript support with exported types:

import type {
  Contact,
  Company,
  Email,
  ContactList,
  CreateContactData,
  SendEmailData,
  PaginatedResponse,
  LysticaConfig,
} from "lystica-cloud";

---

Environments

Works in Node.js 18+ and any runtime with a global fetch implementation.

// Node.js
const lystica = new LysticaCloud({ apiKey: process.env.LYSTICA_API_KEY! });

// Next.js (server components / API routes / middleware)
const lystica = new LysticaCloud({ apiKey: process.env.LYSTICA_API_KEY! });

// Deno
const lystica = new LysticaCloud({ apiKey: Deno.env.get("LYSTICA_API_KEY")! });

// Bun
const lystica = new LysticaCloud({ apiKey: Bun.env.LYSTICA_API_KEY! });

Security: Never expose your API key in client-side / browser code. Always call the Lystica API from a server or serverless function.
