Shared database package with REST API and SDK for Cartel.

Features

• REST API Server - Hono-based API server with OAuth 2.0-style authentication
• TypeScript SDK - Type-safe client with automatic token management
• Database Schema - Drizzle ORM schema definitions
• Bearer Token Auth - JWT access tokens with refresh token rotation
• API Key Auth - Server-to-server authentication for applications
• Multi-Identity Support - Users can have multiple identities (EVM, Lens, Farcaster, Discord, Telegram)
• Rate Limiting - Dynamic rate limits based on authentication type
• Identity Management - Admin routes for connecting, disconnecting, and merging user identities

Installation

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env with your database credentials and JWT secret

Environment Variables

Create a .env file with the following variables:

# PostgreSQL connection string
DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@host:port/database

# JWT Secret for token signing (required, minimum 32 characters)
JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-minimum-32-characters-change-in-production

# Server port (default: 3003)
PORT=3003

# Root API key (optional)
# This key bypasses database authentication and has full system access
# Use only for administration and emergency access
# API_KEY=your-root-api-key-here

Development

Start the API Server

# Development mode with hot reload
bun run server:dev

# Production mode
bun run server

The API server will be available at http://localhost:3003

Database Management

# Generate migrations
bun run db:generate

# Run migrations
bun run db:migrate

# Push schema changes directly (development)
bun run db:push

# Open Drizzle Studio (database GUI)
bun run db:studio

Authentication

The API follows OAuth 2.0 patterns with bearer tokens and API keys.

Token-Based Authentication Flow

1. Client generates SIWE message with wallet address
2. User signs the message in their wallet
3. Client sends to API with signature and API key:

   POST /api/auth/verify
   X-API-Key: <client-api-key>
   Content-Type: application/json
   
   {
     "message": "...",
     "signature": "0x..."
   }

4. API validates and returns tokens:

   {
     "accessToken": "eyJhbGc...",
     "refreshToken": "crt_ref_...",
     "expiresIn": 900,
     "tokenType": "Bearer",
     "userId": "...",
     "address": "0x..."
   }

5. Client uses access token for API requests:

   GET /api/users/me
   Authorization: Bearer <access-token>

Token Management

• Access tokens expire in 15 minutes
• Refresh tokens expire in 30 days
• Token rotation - Old refresh tokens are invalidated when used
• Automatic refresh - SDK handles token refresh automatically

Refresh Token Flow

When access token expires:

POST /api/auth/refresh
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "refreshToken": "crt_ref_..."
}

Returns new token pair:

{
  "accessToken": "eyJhbGc...",
  "refreshToken": "crt_ref_...",
  "expiresIn": 900,
  "tokenType": "Bearer"
}

API Keys (Server-to-Server)

API keys are used for:

• Initial SIWE authentication (required)
• Server-to-server API calls
• Higher rate limits

X-API-Key: cartel_<32-character-key>

API Key Features:

• Client identification - Each application has its own key
• Allowed origins - Whitelist of domains for SIWE validation
• Rate limiting - Per-key rate limits
• Scopes - Control access permissions

SDK Usage

TypeScript/JavaScript

import { CartelClient } from "@cartel/api/client";

// Initialize client
const client = new CartelClient(
  "https://api.cartel.sh",
  "cartel_your_api_key_here"
);

// Authenticate with SIWE
const auth = await client.verifySiwe(message, signature);
// Tokens are automatically stored and managed

// Make authenticated requests
const user = await client.getCurrentUser();

// Logout (clears tokens)
client.logout();

Token Storage

The SDK provides flexible token storage:

// Browser - uses localStorage by default
const client = new CartelClient(apiUrl, apiKey);

// Node.js - uses in-memory storage by default
const client = new CartelClient(apiUrl, apiKey);

// Custom storage implementation
import { InMemoryTokenStorage } from "@cartel/api/client";
const storage = new InMemoryTokenStorage();
const client = new CartelClient(apiUrl, apiKey, storage);

Rate Limiting

Dynamic rate limits based on authentication:

Auth Type	Requests/Minute
Root/Admin	1000
API Key	100
Bearer Token	60
Unauthenticated	20

Special limits for sensitive operations:

• Auth endpoints: 5 requests per 15 minutes
• Write operations: 20 requests per minute

Rate limit headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 59
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1234567890

Security

Best Practices

• Never expose tokens - Access tokens are short-lived (15 min)
• Use HTTPS - Always use HTTPS in production
• Rotate refresh tokens - Old tokens are invalidated on use
• Secure storage - SDK handles secure token storage
• API key security - Keep API keys secret, rotate regularly

Token Security Features

• Short-lived access tokens - Minimize exposure window
• Refresh token rotation - Detect and prevent token theft
• Token families - Track refresh token lineage
• Automatic revocation - Revoke entire family on suspicious activity

SIWE Security

• Client-side nonce generation - Prevents replay attacks
• Domain validation - API keys restrict allowed origins
• Timestamp validation - Messages expire after set time
• Signature verification - Cryptographic proof of ownership
