Welcome to Chapter 6: API, SDK, and Integrations. In this part of VibeSDK Tutorial: Build a Vibe-Coding Platform on Cloudflare, you will build an intuitive mental model first, then move into concrete implementation details and practical production tradeoffs.
VibeSDK can be embedded into workflows beyond the chat UI through APIs, the official TypeScript SDK, and automated handoff flows.
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to:
- use
@cf-vibesdk/sdkfor programmatic app generation - choose between phasic and agentic behavior modes
- automate build, wait, preview, and export workflows
- integrate VibeSDK into CI and internal platform operations
npm install @cf-vibesdk/sdkimport { PhasicClient } from '@cf-vibesdk/sdk';
const client = new PhasicClient({
baseUrl: 'https://build.cloudflare.dev',
apiKey: process.env.VIBESDK_API_KEY!,
});
const session = await client.build('Build a landing page with auth', {
projectType: 'app',
autoGenerate: true,
});
await session.wait.deployable();
session.deployPreview();
await session.wait.previewDeployed();
session.close();| Surface | Primary Use Case |
|---|---|
SDK (PhasicClient, AgenticClient) |
scriptable generation and lifecycle automation |
| API routes/controllers | internal governance and operational controls |
| deploy/export tooling | repository handoff and developer workflow integration |
| Postman docs assets | quick API validation and team onboarding |
| Mode | Best For | Risk Profile |
|---|---|---|
| phasic | controlled enterprise pipelines | slower iteration, higher predictability |
| agentic | exploratory generation and rapid iteration | higher variability, needs stronger guardrails |
- trigger build from internal service or pipeline job
- wait for deployable milestone
- run policy checks (security, quality, ownership)
- deploy preview and run smoke tests
- export/handoff to repo with traceable metadata
- always implement timeout and retry handling around wait helpers
- close sessions explicitly to avoid resource leaks
- persist build session metadata for debugging and audit
- separate API keys for automation workloads vs human UI usage
You now have a practical integration model for embedding VibeSDK into programmatic workflows and CI paths.
