Explicit Authorization Flow Example

Explicit Authorization Flow requires a user to sign into OCLC in order to receive an Access Token.

See Explicit Authorization Code at the OCLC Developer Network for more details.

Usage

Make a directory to work in and change to it.

git clone https://github.com/OCLC-Developer-Network/oclc-auth-node.git

cd oclc-auth-node

npm install

cd examples/explicitAuthenticationFlow

npm install

cd src

Edit server.js and define your authentication parameters.

Note that in this example, the example is running on port 8000 on localhost, and the redirect URI points to localhost:8000/auth/ .

To enable refresh tokens, add "refresh_token" to the list of scopes. Refresh Tokens allow a user to be reauthenticated without going through the authentication flow when their token expires. You can try this example with that parameter set to true as well.

Run the server:

node server

Navigate to localhost:8000 in a web browser.

This example allows you to request a Bibliographic Record using your token, provided your key is scoped for "WorldCatMetadataAPI".
