Library
Transaction enrichment library for Node.js
Use TxnKit as a transaction enrichment API from Node.js. This page shows the safe request shape, a short code snippet, and the boundary for keeping sensitive data out of the integration.
Target intent
Node.js developers adding transaction enrichment to a backend service.
TxnKit does not replace your transaction data provider or persistence layer.
Raw descriptor
PAYPAL *SPOTIFYShort Node.js API snippet
const response = await fetch("https://api.txnkit.dev/v1/enrich", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.TXNKIT_API_KEY}`,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify({ raw_description: "SQ *JOES COFFEE 0421 TORONTO", country: "CA" })
});
const enrichment = await response.json();Keep API keys out of browser bundles. For frontend stacks, call a backend route or serverless function that owns the TxnKit request.

}Low-confidence results should keep fallback labels and warnings visible instead of forcing a guessed logo or website.
When to use
- You are building in Node.js and need one-descriptor merchant cleanup through an HTTP API.
- Your app can keep the TxnKit API key on the server side or inside a trusted serverless function.
- You need merchant display names, categories, confidence, signals, warnings, and logo-ready metadata.
When not to use
- TxnKit does not replace your transaction data provider or persistence layer.
- Do not use TxnKit to process card numbers, account numbers, full statements, bank credentials, emails, phone numbers, addresses, customer names, or customer PII.
- Do not use TxnKit when the product requirement is guaranteed merchant identity, every-merchant resolution, or contracted uptime terms.
Proof surfaces
The public contract is POST /v1/enrich, backed by the OpenAPI file, benchmark examples, privacy rules, and deterministic request-path tests.
