oauth-1-client

Promise-based OAuth 1 client for node.js

Install

npm install oauth-1-client

Overview

Promise-based OAuth 1 client for node.js based on the node-auth library and client code from etsy-js.

Usage

Sample usage from a project using the ODesk API below.

var OAuth1Client = require('oauth-1-client');
 
var odeskClient = new OAuth1Client({
    key: odeskConfig.apiKey,
    secret: odeskConfig.sharedSecret,
    callbackURL: odeskConfig.callbackURL,
    requestUrl: 'https://www.odesk.com/api/auth/v1/oauth/token/request',
    accessUrl: 'https://www.odesk.com/api/auth/v1/oauth/token/access',
    apiHostName: 'www.odesk.com' 
});

Note: The apiHostName option is used to construct a base URL (https:// based) for all relative paths. See below.

Each method on the API returns back a Javascript promise object.

If using a version of node which supports ES6 generators, a sample usage might look like:

var response = yield odeskClient.requestToken();
 
var tempCredentials = {
    token: response.token,
    tokenSecret: response.tokenSecret
};
 
// Store `tempCredentials` somewhere and redirect user
// (there might be a URL provided in `response.authorizeUrl` - consult your OAuth provider docs).

Then in your OAuth callback:

var verifier = (get it from URL or request header depending on your provider);
var prevCredentials = (load previously stored credentials from above);
var response = yield odeskClient.accessToken(prevCredentials.token, prevCredentials.tokenSecret, verifier);
 
var finalCredentials = {
    token: response.token,
    tokenSecret: response.tokenSecret
};
// store `finalCredentials` somewhere
 
// Good to go now. Make sure to call .auth(...) function first to set the credentials:
var authODeskClient = odeskClient.auth(finalCredentials.token, finalCredentials.tokenSecret);
 
// Then use get/put/post/delte methods as you'd expect:
var relativeUrl = util.format('/gds/timereports/v1/providers/%s/hours', userRef);
var response = yield authODeskClient.get(relativeUrl, params);
