@followprice/api-client v2.0.6

API client

Requirements

1. It should authenticate a user through an OAuth2 password grant type and receive an access_token.

2. Store the access_token internally.

3. It should let that user request data to API endpoints with that access_token.

How to develop?

1. Install git-flow

2. Code according to it

   • Commit bug fixes to the development branch

   • git flow feature start <name> to start a new feature

Run the project

1. npm start

   • code changes will be automatically reloaded on the browser

Authenticate

• on your browser console

  var API = require('followprice-api-client');
  var api = new API('scope', 'hostname', 'port');
  
  // only if using a private client
  api.setClient('client_id', 'client_secret');
  
  api.authenticate('user', 'password', err => {
    if (err) { /* handle error */ }
  
    // you're authenticated here
  })

  • client_id should be the client's id

    • e.g. test

  • client_secret should be the client's secret

    • it has no authentication value, as the client runs on the user-agent and is, as such, public

    • e.g. test

  • scope should be scope the user wants to request

  • hostname is optional, as it defaults to api.followprice.co

  • port is optional, as it defaults to 443

  • user should be the user's username

  • password should the user's password

Make API calls

• on your browser console

  // your callback should follow the format (err, statusCode, data) => { ... }
  api.get('/users', null, callback);
