The requested module '@polkadot/api' does not provide an export named 'ApiPromise'

See original GitHub issue

Hi everyone,

I ran this code on my PC,

import { ApiPromise } from '@polkadot/api';

async function createApi() {
    const api = await ApiPromise.create();
    return api;
}

const api = createApi()

As instructed by your docs, and I got this error in the first line:

The requested module ‘@polkadot/api’ does not provide an export named ‘ApiPromise’

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug?

It is exported, see here - https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/blob/master/packages/api/src/index.ts#L13

(And it def used that way in projects that i know of, see e.g. https://github.com/w3f/faucet-bot/blob/master/src/server/actions.js#L1

So not sure why it would fail in your case. (You can also do import ApiPromise from '@polkadot/api/promise'; as a direct import, but while that may mask the above should just work)
