CodeRabbit SDK Patterns

Overview

CodeRabbit does not have a traditional SDK. You interact with it through .coderabbit.yaml configuration, PR comment commands (@coderabbitai), and the GitHub/GitLab API to process its review output. These patterns show how to automate around CodeRabbit reviews programmatically.

Prerequisites

• CodeRabbit installed on repository (see coderabbit-install-auth)
• GitHub CLI (gh) or GitHub API access via personal access token
• Node.js 18+ for automation scripts

Instructions

Step 1: Fetch CodeRabbit Reviews via GitHub API

// scripts/fetch-coderabbit-reviews.ts
import { Octokit } from "@octokit/rest";

const octokit = new Octokit({ auth: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN });

async function getCodeRabbitReview(owner: string, repo: string, prNumber: number) {
  const reviews = await octokit.pulls.listReviews({ owner, repo, pull_number: prNumber });

  const coderabbitReview = reviews.data.find(
    (r) => r.user?.login === "coderabbitai[bot]"
  );

  if (!coderabbitReview) {
    console.log();
     ;
  }

   {
    : coderabbitReview.,      
    : coderabbitReview.,         
    : coderabbitReview.,
  };
}
