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

 

Setting Up the Oberlo Integration File

 

Create a new file in your project root named oberloIntegration.ts. In this file, you will add the TypeScript code to connect with the Oberlo API. Replace YOUROBERLOAPI_KEY with your actual API key and adjust the base URL if needed.

// Replace with your actual Oberlo API key and endpoint
const OBERLOAPIKEY = 'YOUROBERLOAPI_KEY';
const OBERLOBASEURL = 'https://api.oberlo.com/v1'; // Verify the correct endpoint with Oberlo documentation

export interface OberloProduct {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  price: number;
  // Add other product properties as required
}

// Function to fetch products from Oberlo
export async function fetchOberloProducts(): Promise {
  const response = await fetch(${OBERLO_BASE_URL}/products, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': Bearer ${OBERLO_API_KEY}
    }
  });

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Failed to fetch products from Oberlo: ' + response.statusText);
  }

  const data = await response.json();
  return data.products; // Adjust based on the API response structure
}

 

Integrating the Oberlo Module into Your Main Code

 

Locate your main TypeScript file (for example, main.ts or index.ts). At the top of the file, import the function you created to fetch Oberlo products. Then add a function to call this fetch method and handle its result.

import { fetchOberloProducts } from './oberloIntegration';

async function displayOberloProducts(): Promise {
  try {
    const products = await fetchOberloProducts();
    console.log('Oberlo Products:', products);
    // Insert additional logic here, such as updating your UI components
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching products:', error);
  }
}

// Call the function to initiate the API call
displayOberloProducts();

 

Adding Dependencies Without a Terminal

 

Bolt.new AI does not have a terminal available to run commands like npm install. To include third-party libraries (if needed in the future), you can manually add them in your project’s configuration. For example, if you ever require a HTTP client like Axios, create a file named package.json in your project root (if it does not already exist) and list your dependencies as shown below. This informs the builder to include those libraries.

{
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.27.0"
  }
}

Since this guide uses the built-in fetch function, you do not need to add Axios immediately. You can follow a similar approach for any future dependency.

 

Securing Your API Key

 

If Bolt.new AI provides a secrets or environment variables section, place your OBERLOAPIKEY there instead of hardcoding it. Then modify your code to retrieve the key from the environment. For example, if you have access to process.env, adjust your code as follows:

const OBERLOAPIKEY = process.env.OBERLOAPIKEY || 'YOURFALLBACKAPI_KEY';

This way, your API key stays secure and is not visible in the codebase.

 

Final Steps: Testing and Customization

 

After you have added the above files and code snippets:

• Ensure your project’s main file imports the oberloIntegration.ts module correctly.

• Replace placeholders (such as the API key and endpoint) with your actual details provided by Oberlo.

• Save your changes. Since Bolt.new AI automatically re-builds the project, the integration will take effect immediately.

You can now check your browser’s console output to see the list of products fetched from Oberlo. Modify and extend this integration as needed for your application’s requirements.
