Vercel Hello World
Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core Vercel functionality.
Prerequisites
-
Completed vercel-install-auth setup
-
Valid API credentials configured
-
Development environment ready
Instructions
Step 1: Create Entry File
Create a new file for your hello world example.
Step 2: Import and Initialize Client
import { VercelClient } from 'vercel';
const client = new VercelClient({ apiKey: process.env.VERCEL_API_KEY, });
Step 3: Make Your First API Call
async function main() { const projects = await vercel.projects.list(); console.log('Projects:', projects.map(p => p.name)); }
main().catch(console.error);
Output
-
Working code file with Vercel client initialization
-
Successful API response confirming connection
-
Console output showing:
Success! Your Vercel connection is working.
Error Handling
Error Cause Solution
Import Error SDK not installed Verify with npm list or pip show
Auth Error Invalid credentials Check environment variable is set
Timeout Network issues Increase timeout or check connectivity
Rate Limit Too many requests Wait and retry with exponential backoff
Examples
TypeScript Example
import { VercelClient } from 'vercel';
const client = new VercelClient({ apiKey: process.env.VERCEL_API_KEY, });
async function main() { const projects = await vercel.projects.list(); console.log('Projects:', projects.map(p => p.name)); }
main().catch(console.error);
Python Example
from None import VercelClient
client = VercelClient()
