I Built a TypeScript SDK for John Deere Because Nobody Else Did

John Deere has a surprisingly robust API. Their Operations Center exposes data for fields, farms, equipment telemetry, machine locations, harvest data — basically everything a precision agriculture app could need.

What they don't have is an SDK.

If you want to integrate with Deere, you're reading OpenAPI specs and writing boilerplate. Pagination? Handle it yourself. Retries? Figure it out. TypeScript types? Generate your own.

I needed this for a project, so I built it. Then I figured: why keep it to myself?

deere-sdk is a fully-typed TypeScript SDK covering 28 APIs and 123 operations. Auto-pagination, HAL link support, exponential backoff retries, the works.

It's free and MIT licensed. Here's how to use it:

npm install deere-sdk
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
