Example usage

Setup

npm install trakt.tv --save

Initialize

import Trakt from 'trakt.tv';

const trakt = new Trakt({
  client_id: 'the_client_id',
  client_secret: 'the_client_secret',
  redirect_uri: null    // fallbacks to 'urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob'
  api_url: null         // fallbacks to 'api-v2launch.trakt.tv'
});

Generate Auth URL

const url = trakt.get_url();

Verify code (and optionally state) from returned auth

trakt.exchange_code('code', 'csrf token (state)')
    .then(result => {
        // contains tokens & session information
        // API can now be used with authorized requests
    })
    .catch(err => {
        // Handles errors 
    });

Alternate OAUTH "device" method

trakt.get_codes()
    .then(poll => {
        // Poll contains 'verification_url' you need to visit
        // and the 'user_code' you need to use on that url
        
        return trakt.poll_access(poll);
        // this second call is required to verify if app was authorized
    })
    .catch(error {
        // Handles errors
        // specific error.message == 'Expired' will be thrown
        // in case the verification_url was not used in time
    });

Refresh token

trakt.refresh_token()
    .then(results => {
        // API now has an updated access token
    })
    .catch(err => {
        // Handles errors 
    });

Storing token over sessions

const token = trakt.export_token(); // Gets token, store it safely.

trakt.import_token(token) // Injects stored token.
    .then(shows => {
        // Contains token, refreshed if needed (store it back)
    })
    .catch(err => {
        // Handles errors 
    });

Actual API requests

See methods in methods.json or wiki.

trakt.calendars.all.shows({
        start_date: '2015-11-13',
        days: '7',
        extended: 'images'
    })
    .then(shows => {
        // Contains Object{} response from API (show data)
    })
    .catch(err => {
        // Handles errors 
    });

Using pagination

You can extend your calls with pagination: true to get the extra pagination info from headers.

trakt.movies.popular({
        pagination: true
    })
    .then(movies => {
        /**
        movies = Object {
            data: [<actual data from API>],
            pagination: {
                item-count: "80349",
                limit: "10",
                page: "1",
                page-count: "8035"
            }
        }
        **/
    })
    .catch(err => {
        // Handles errors 
    });

Note: this will contain data and pagination for all calls, even if no pagination is available. it's typically for really advanced use only

Load plugins

When calling new Trakt(), include desired plugins (must be installed from npm):

const trakt = new Trakt({
    client_id: '',
    client_secret: '',
    plugins: ['ondeck'] // 'ondeck' refers to npm 'trakt.tv-ondeck' plugin
});
