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

 

Step 1: Setting Up Etsy API Credentials

 

• Obtain your Etsy API key by signing up as a developer on Etsy and creating an application. You will receive an API key which you need to use in your requests.
• In your Bolt.new AI project, store this API key securely. For example, you can add it as an environment variable in your project configuration or directly in your code if no sensitive data is exposed.

 

Step 2: Adding Dependencies

 

• Since Bolt.new AI does not have a terminal, you need to add any external libraries manually by including them in your code. We will use axios for making HTTP requests.
• Insert the following code snippet at the very top of your main TypeScript file to import axios from a CDN. This snippet will load axios before any of your code executes:

  
  import axios from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/axios';
      

• If your project already has an import mechanism for dependencies, ensure axios is imported properly.

 

Step 3: Creating the Etsy API Integration Module

 

• Create a new file in your Bolt.new AI project and name it etsyApi.ts. This file will hold the functions related to Etsy API calls.
• Add the following code to etsyApi.ts to define a function for fetching active listings from Etsy using your API key:

  
  const ETSYAPIKEY = 'YOURETSYAPIKEYHERE'; // Replace with your actual key
  
  export async function getActiveEtsyListings() {
    const url = https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active?api_key=${ETSY_API_KEY};
    try {
      const response = await axios.get(url);
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error fetching Etsy listings:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
      

  
  


• Remember to replace 'YOURETSYAPIKEYHERE' with your actual Etsy API key.

 

Step 4: Integrating Etsy API Calls into Your Main Application

 

• Open your main TypeScript file (for example, main.ts) where you manage your application logic.
• Import the Etsy API module you created by adding the following line at the top of main.ts:

  
  import { getActiveEtsyListings } from './etsyApi';
      

• Add a function in your main file to call getActiveEtsyListings and handle its response. For example:

  
  async function displayEtsyListings() {
    try {
      const listings = await getActiveEtsyListings();
      console.log('Etsy Listings:', listings);
      // You can integrate this data into your Bolt.new AI project UI as needed
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to load Etsy listings.', error);
    }
  }
  
  // Call the function when your application initializes
  displayEtsyListings();
      

  
  


• This code will execute when your application starts up and will log the Etsy listings to the console. Later, you can adapt it to fit your UI and interaction flows.

 

Step 5: Final Testing and Deployment

 

• After integrating the Etsy API calls into your project, ensure that all the code files (main.ts and etsyApi.ts) are saved.
• Test the functionality by running your Bolt.new AI project. Watch the console for logs indicating successful retrieval of Etsy listings.
• If any errors occur, check the console logs to debug issues such as incorrect API keys or network errors.
• Once verified, your integration with the Etsy API is complete, and you can further customize how the listings data is used within your application.
