Bolt.new AI and Buildium integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Setting Up the Buildium Integration in Your Bolt.new AI Project

 

This guide will help you integrate Buildium into your Bolt.new AI project using TypeScript. Follow each step carefully and add the provided code snippets in the indicated files or locations.

 

Defining Dependencies

 

Since Bolt.new AI does not offer terminal access, you need to add any dependencies manually. In your project’s configuration file (usually a file named package.json), add the axios dependency. Insert the following code snippet into your package.json file under the "dependencies" section.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.27.2"
  }
}

Make sure this file is saved so the environment picks up the dependency automatically.

 

Creating the Buildium Client File

 

Create a new file in your project named buildiumClient.ts. This file will contain the code to interact with the Buildium API. Paste the following code snippet into this file.

import axios from 'axios';

export class BuildiumClient {
  private baseUrl: string;
  private token: string;

  constructor(token: string) {
    // Base URL for Buildium API (update this URL as per Buildium's documentation)
    this.baseUrl = 'https://api.buildium.com'; 
    this.token = token;
  }

  // Example method to fetch a list of properties from Buildium
  async listProperties() {
    try {
      const response = await axios.get(${this.baseUrl}/properties, {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': Bearer ${this.token}
        }
      });
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error fetching properties:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
}

Ensure that this file is saved in the same directory as your other TypeScript files or in a dedicated folder (for example, a folder named services).

 

Integrating the Buildium Client with Your Main Code

 

In your project's main file (typically index.ts or similar), import and use the BuildiumClient to fetch data from Buildium. Insert the following code snippet into your main file.

import { BuildiumClient } from './buildiumClient';

// Retrieve your Buildium API token securely.
// Replace 'YOURBUILDUMAPI_TOKEN' with your actual token or load it from environment variables.
const buildiumToken = process.env.BUILDUMTOKEN || 'YOURBUILDUMAPITOKEN';

// Initialize the Buildium client
const client = new BuildiumClient(buildiumToken);

// Example function to fetch and display property listings from Buildium
async function fetchAndDisplayProperties() {
  try {
    const properties = await client.listProperties();
    console.log('Properties:', properties);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching properties:', error);
  }
}

// Call the function to execute the integration
fetchAndDisplayProperties();

If your Bolt.new AI project allows environment variable configuration through its dashboard, ensure you add the Buildium API token with the key BUILDUM_TOKEN. Otherwise, replace the placeholder with your actual API key.

 

Finalizing the Integration

 

Once you have completed the above steps, the Buildium integration should be ready. Your project now includes:

• A package.json file with the necessary dependency (axios).
• A buildiumClient.ts file that handles API communications with Buildium.
• Main integration code in your main file (index.ts) that instantiates the Buildium client and calls its method to fetch data.

Save all files and test your project by using the Bolt.new AI interface’s run functionality. Any console output or errors will help you verify the integration.
