elmo is a simple OAuth client for Node.js, useful for writing programs that interact with services using the version 1.0a of the OAuth protocol. Here is a list with some of the service providers.
Install with npm
npm install elmo
The library is pretty simple to use, here is an example using the Plurk API.
var elmo = require('elmo');
var client = elmo.OAuth({
appKey: '<your app key>',
appSecret: '<your app secret>',
urls: {
requestToken: 'http://www.plurk.com/OAuth/request_token',
accessToken: 'http://www.plurk.com/OAuth/access_token',
authorize: 'http://www.plurk.com/OAuth/authorize'
}
});
client.requestToken(function(err, data) {
console.log('Now go to', client.authorize());
console.log('and introduce the code:');
process.stdin.on('readable', function() {
var verifier = process.stdin.read();
if (verifier != null) {
verifier = verifier.toString();
client.accessToken(verifier.substr(0, verifier.length-1), function(err, token) {
/* Now you have an access token */
console.log(token);
/* and the client can make requests */
client.request('get', 'http://www.plurk.com/APP/Profile/getOwnProfile', function(res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('me: ', data);
});
});
});
}
});
});I don't recommend using this in production. Some popular libraries have a great support for the OAuth protocol, like request. But if you're bored and want to play with new libraries, go ahead.
