Initializing

Follow the steps in the API Overview to get an API key, and then set it in your code. Additionally, if you’re self-hosting, you can set the host to your self-hosted instance. 
import Lotus = require("lotus-typescript")

//If the line above presents erros, use this import below
//const {Lotus} = require("lotus-typescript/dist/index.js");

const api_key= "YOUR API KEY";

const lotus = new Lotus(api_key, {
  host: "https://api.uselotus.io/", // You can omit this line if using Lotus Cloud
});
