lifelog-auth-example

Example of accessing a user's profile in Lifelog with OAuth2 authorization.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/hugojosefson/lifelog-auth-example
cd lifelog-auth-example
npm install

Prerequisites

Hosted on an https URL

The app needs to be run on an https URL.

One way of achieving this during development or for quick testing, is by running the app locally on your laptop, and using localtunnel.me to let anyone access it:

export LOCALTUNNEL_SUBDOMAIN=yourname
npm run localtunnel

An application registered with Sony Developer World

Configure its Callback URL so that it reflects the localtunnel name you used above. For example, if you set up localtunnel with the name yourname, this is the correct Callback URL:

https://yourname.localtunnel.me/callback

The Client ID and Secret

Save the Client ID and Secret you are given when registering the application. If you forget the secret, simply click Add credentials to get a new set of credentials.

Running

export BASE_URI=https://your.server.tld  # The https URL where your site is available. Like Callback URL, but without /callback
export PORT=3000                         # to optionally set which port your server should listen on (default is 3000)
export CLIENT_ID=your_client_id          # The Client ID you received from Developer World when creating your app.
export CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret  # The Client Secret you received from Developer World when creating your app.
npm start

If you are using localtunnel, you can use LOCALTUNNEL_SUBDOMAIN instead of BASE_URI if you want:

export LOCALTUNNEL_SUBDOMAIN=yourname
export PORT=3000                         # to optionally set which port your server should listen on (default is 3000)
export CLIENT_ID=your_client_id          # The Client ID you received from Developer World when creating your app.
export CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret  # The Client Secret you received from Developer World when creating your app.
npm start
