# Basic Usage

 First [get your personal access token here](http://developers.buymeacoffee.com/dashboard), then create a `coffee.json` file and save your personal access token inside. Example below.

{% code title="coffee.json" %}

```javascript
{
    "token":"access_token_here"
}
```

{% endcode %}

After that, create your JavaScript file. Example below.

{% code title="index.js" %}

```javascript
const BMC = require('buymeacoffee.js'); // add BMC package
const access = require('./coffee.json'); // load your token
const coffee = new BMC(access.token); // add your token here

// retrieve supporters data
coffee.Supporters().then(data => console.log(data));

// retrieve subscribers data
coffee.Subscriptions().then(data => console.log(data));

// retrieve extras data
coffee.Extras().then(data => console.log(data));
```

{% endcode %}

You can play with the data and get specific information such as supporter name. Example below.

```javascript
coffee.Supporters().then(data => {
    data = data.data[0].supporter_name;
    console.log(data);
});
```

We will add more features to the API interactions. If you have in mind, please let us know by submitting an [issue here](https://github.com/WarenGonzaga/buymeacoffee.js/issues).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.warengonzaga.com/buymeacoffeejs/getting-started/basic-usage.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
