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 });
