# Node.js NPR API [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/adafruit/node_npr.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/adafruit/node_npr)
A Node.js package for accessing NPR APIs.
## Requirements
This module is a [npm](https://www.npmjs.org) package, and requires
the latest stable version of [node.js](https://nodejs.org).
```
$ node -v
v6.2.0
```
## Installation
```
$ mkdir npr_test && cd npr_test
$ npm install npr-api
```
## Usage
As of right now, the full [NPR One API](http://dev.npr.org/api/) is available in this package.
It is also set up in a way where it will support the future addition of other [NPR 'Open APIs'](http://www.npr.org/templates/apidoc/)
by adding additional API modules to the `lib/` folder.
### Example
First, you will need to create a new file called `get_token.js` in your favorite text editor.
```sh
$ vim get_token.js
```
Then, paste the example below into the file and update the creditials to match your NPR Developer account info.
```js
const NPR = require('npr-api'),
npr = new NPR();
const client_id = 'your_oauth_client_id',
client_secret = 'your_oauth_client_secret';
npr.one.init()
.then(function() {
return npr.one.authorization
.generateDeviceCode({
client_id: client_id,
client_secret: client_secret,
scope: 'listening.write identity.readonly'
});
})
.then(function(res) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
console.log('Please visit the following URL:');
console.log(`${res.verification_uri}\n`);
console.log(`Enter code: ${res.user_code}\n`);
console.log('Press the Spacebar when complete.');
process.stdin.setRawMode(true);
process.stdin.resume();
process.stdin.on('data', function() {
resolve(res.device_code);
});
});
})
.then(function(code) {
return npr.one.authorization
.createToken({
grant_type: 'device_code',
client_id: client_id,
client_secret: client_secret,
code: code
});
})
.then(function(res) {
console.log(`ACCESS TOKEN: ${res.access_token}`);
process.exit();
})
.catch(function(err) {
console.log(err.statusText);
process.exit(1);
});
```
Then, run the example using `node`.
```sh
$ node get_token.js
```
You will only need this once to get an access token to use from
now on. Next, you will need to create a new file called `get_recommendations.js` in your favorite text editor.
```sh
$ vim get_recommendations.js
```
Then, paste the example below into the file and update the creditials to match your NPR Developer account info.
```js
const NPR = require('npr-api'),
npr = new NPR();
// paste in your token here
const token = 'access_token_from_step_1';
npr.one.init(token)
.then(function() {
return npr.one.listening.getRecommendations({ channel: 'npr' });
})
.then(function(recommendations) {
// print out the first two recommendations to the console
console.log(recommendations.items.slice(0,2));
}).catch(console.err);
```
Then, run the example using `node`.
```
$ node get_recommendations.js
```
You should then see a couple of the listening recommendations for your NPR account dumped to your terminal's `stdout`.
