{.section-title.accent.text-primary} # API start functions Reference ### Waiting for WorkAdventure API to be available When your script / iFrame loads WorkAdventure, it takes a few milliseconds for your script / iFrame to exchange data with WorkAdventure. You should wait for the WorkAdventure API to be fully ready using the `WA.onInit()` method. ``` WA.onInit(): Promise<void> ``` Some properties (like the current user name, or the room ID) are not available until `WA.onInit` has completed. Example: ```typescript WA.onInit().then(() => { console.log('Current player name: ', WA.player.name); }); ``` Or the same code, using await/async: ```typescript (async () => { await WA.onInit(); console.log('Current player name: ', WA.player.name); })(); ```
