Class Payments

Main class that interacts with the Nevermined payments API. Use Payments.getInstance for server-side usage or Payments.getBrowserInstance for browser usage.

Remarks

This API requires a Nevermined API Key, which can be obtained by logging in to the Nevermined App.

The library provides methods to manage AI Agents, Plans & process AI Agent Requests.

Each of these functionalities is encapsulated in its own API class:

plans: Manages AI Plans, including registration and ordering and retrieving plan details.
agents: Handles AI Agents, including registration of AI Agents and access token generation.
requests: Manages requests received by AI Agents, including validation and tracking.
observability: Provides observability and logging utilities for AI Agents with Helicone integration

Accessors

a2a

get a2a(): {
    getClient: (options: any) => Promise<PaymentsClient>;
    start: (
        options: Omit<PaymentsA2AServerOptions, "paymentsService">,
    ) => PaymentsA2AServerResult;
}
Exposes A2A server and client registry methods. The client registry is initialized only if getClient is called.

Returns {
    getClient: (options: any) => Promise<PaymentsClient>;
    start: (
        options: Omit<PaymentsA2AServerOptions, "paymentsService">,
    ) => PaymentsA2AServerResult;
}
- getClient: (options: any) => Promise<PaymentsClient>
  Gets (or creates) a RegisteredPaymentsClient for the given alias. The registry is initialized only on first use.
- start: (
  options: Omit<PaymentsA2AServerOptions, "paymentsService">,
  ) => PaymentsA2AServerResult
  Starts the A2A server with payment integration.
- Defined in src/payments.ts:57

delegation

get delegation(): DelegationAPI
Returns the Delegation API for listing enrolled payment methods. The instance is lazily initialized on first access — the current organization pin (set via setOrganizationId or the constructor option) is forwarded so the first call carries the right X-Current-Org-Id header.

Returns DelegationAPI
- Defined in src/payments.ts:99

isLoggedIn

get isLoggedIn(): boolean
Checks if a user is logged in.

Returns boolean
True if the user is logged in.
Example
```
payments.isLoggedIn
```

Methods

connect

connect(): void
Initiates the connect flow. The user's browser will be redirected to the Nevermined App login page.

Returns void
Remarks
This is a browser-only function.
Example
```
payments.connect()
```
- Defined in src/payments.ts:215

getAccountAddress

getAccountAddress(): string | undefined
It returns the account address associated with the NVM API Key used to initialize the Payments Library instance.

Returns string | undefined
The account address extracted from the NVM API Key
Inherited from BasePaymentsAPI.getAccountAddress
- Defined in src/api/base-payments.ts:125

`Protected`getBackendHTTPOptions

getBackendHTTPOptions(
    method: string,
    body?: any,
    extraHeaders?: Record<string, string>,
): any
Internal
Returns the HTTP options required to query the backend.
Parameters
- method: string
  HTTP method.
- Optionalbody: any
  Optional request body.
- OptionalextraHeaders: Record<string, string>
  Optional per-call header overrides. Use { 'X-Current-Org-Id': orgId } to target a specific workspace for one call without mutating the instance-level pin.
Returns any
HTTP options object.
Inherited from BasePaymentsAPI.getBackendHTTPOptions
- Defined in src/api/base-payments.ts:162

getEnvironmentName

getEnvironmentName(): EnvironmentName
Returns the environment name used to initialize the Payments instance.

Returns EnvironmentName
The environment name (e.g. 'sandbox', 'live')
Inherited from BasePaymentsAPI.getEnvironmentName
- Defined in src/api/base-payments.ts:117

getOrganizationId

getOrganizationId(): string | null
Returns the current organization context applied to every authenticated backend request via the X-Current-Org-Id header.

null means "no pinned workspace" — the backend falls back to the caller's API-key tag or most-recent active membership.

Returns string | null
Inherited from BasePaymentsAPI.getOrganizationId
- Defined in src/api/base-payments.ts:136

`Protected`getPublicHTTPOptions

getPublicHTTPOptions(
    method: string,
    body?: any,
): {
    body?: string;
    headers: { Accept: string; "Content-Type": string };
    method: string;
}
Internal
Get HTTP options for public backend requests (no authorization header). Converts body keys from snake_case to camelCase for consistency.
Parameters
- method: string
  HTTP method
- Optionalbody: any
  Optional request body (keys will be converted to camelCase)
Returns {
    body?: string;
    headers: { Accept: string; "Content-Type": string };
    method: string;
}
HTTP options object
Inherited from BasePaymentsAPI.getPublicHTTPOptions
- Defined in src/api/base-payments.ts:201

logout

logout(): void
Logs out the user by removing the NVM API key.

Returns void
Remarks
This is a browser-only function.
Example
```
payments.logout()
```
- Defined in src/payments.ts:231

`Protected`parseNvmApiKey

parseNvmApiKey(): { accountAddress: string; heliconeApiKey: string }
Parses the NVM API Key to extract the account address.

Returns { accountAddress: string; heliconeApiKey: string }
Throws
PaymentsError if the API key is invalid.
Inherited from BasePaymentsAPI.parseNvmApiKey
- Defined in src/api/base-payments.ts:99

setOrganizationId

setOrganizationId(organizationId: string | null): void
Pins (or clears) the active organization workspace used by every subsequent authenticated request. The SDK forwards the choice as the X-Current-Org-Id header so the backend scopes publications and other org-aware queries to the requested organization.

Pass null to clear the pin and let the backend fall back to the API key's org tag or the caller's most-recent active membership.

For one-off targeting (e.g. publish a single agent into Org B without leaving Org B as the active workspace) prefer the per-call { organizationId } option on agents.registerAgent / plans.registerPlan / similar.
Parameters
- organizationId: string | null
  Org ID to pin (e.g. org-…) or null to clear.
Returns void
Example
```
payments.setOrganizationId('org-abc123')
await payments.agents.registerAgent(metadata, api, [planId]) // lands in org-abc123
```
Overrides BasePaymentsAPI.setOrganizationId
- Defined in src/payments.ts:256

`Static`getBrowserInstance

getBrowserInstance(options: PaymentOptions): Payments
Get an instance of the Payments class for browser usage.
Parameters
- options: PaymentOptions
  The options to initialize the payments class.
Returns Payments
An instance of Payments
Remarks
This is a browser-only function.
Example
```
const payments = Payments.getBrowserInstance({
  returnUrl: 'https://mysite.example',
  environment: 'sandbox',
  appId: 'my-app-id',
  version: '1.0.0'
})
```
Throws
PaymentsError if returnUrl is missing.
- Defined in src/payments.ts:156

`Static`getInstance

getInstance(options: PaymentOptions): Payments
Get an instance of the Payments class for server-side usage.
Parameters
- options: PaymentOptions
  The options to initialize the payments class.
Returns Payments
An instance of Payments
Example
```
const payments = Payments.getInstance({
  nvmApiKey: 'your-nvm-api-key',
  environment: 'sandbox'
})
```
Throws
PaymentsError if nvmApiKey is missing.
- Defined in src/payments.ts:130
