FAQ

• Multiple files in one bin

  Only Sourcebin Pro users are able to have multiple files per bin, and since there is no non-hacky way to authenticate this library doesn't currently support multiple files. We can add support in the future if they add a way to authenticate with the API.

• Migrate from v5 to v6

  This was just a maintenance release and the API hasn't actually changed. You will need to use Node >=22.13 or above, as we removed the dependency on axios in favour of native fetch. Additionally, this package is now esm only which shouldn't cause any problems thanks to require(esm), but if you experience any issues please open one.

• Migrate from v4 to v5

  See the README from a v5 release
