bpc_client

This package is published on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/bpcclient

Usage

Install via npm install bpc_client
Initiate a new client:

const bpc_client = require('bpc_client');

// Optional use ENV vars. See below.
bpc_client.app = { id: <BPC_APP_ID> key: <BPC_APP_KEY> algorithm: <BPC_ALGORITHM> };
bpc_client.url = <BPC_URL>; // Defaults to https://bpc.berlingskemedia.net


async function run(){

  bpc_client.events.on('ready', async () => {
    console.log('Connected to BPC');
  });

  await bpc_client.connect();


  // Making requests using app ticket.
  const dako = await bpc_client.request({
    method: 'GET',
    path: `/users?email=${ encodeURIComponent('dako@berlingskemedia.dk') }`
  }); // <-- Using the app ticket

  const profile = await bpc_client.request({
    method: 'GET',
    path: `/permissions/${dako.id}/profile?permission_sources.sap_orders=1`
  });  // <-- Using the app ticket


}

run();

You can also use bpc_client to make requests to other APIs, when they are secured by BPC authorization (e.g. when using https://www.npmjs.com/package/hapi-bpc on the API.)

const bpc_client = require('bpc_client');

// Optional use ENV vars. See below.
bpc_client.app = { id: <BPC_APP_ID> key: <BPC_APP_KEY> algorithm: <BPC_ALGORITHM> };
bpc_client.url = <BPC_URL>; // Defaults to https://bpc.berlingskemedia.net


async function run(){

  // This will get the app ticket from BPC
  await bpc_client.connect();


  const url_of_other_API = require('url').parse('https://profil.berlingskemedia.dk');

  // Making authorized requests to the other API.
  const dako = await bpc_client.request({
    hostname: url_of_other_API.hostname,
    path: `/api/users?email=${ encodeURIComponent('dako@berlingskemedia.dk') }`
  });
}

run();

Making requests using a user ticket. The user ticket if retrieved by using BPC endpoint /rsvp and /ticket/user.

const userTicket = {
  "exp":1557316417598,
  "app":"test_app",
  "scope":
    [
      "berlingske",
      "profile",
    ],
  "grant":"jhfgs294723ijsdhfsdfhskjh329423798wspige",
  "user":"7ad5c568620c8ee33ecb5a3b",
  "key":"LOx4dYMaRIecwJGjSOITKmOe-Efoj1cS",
  "algorithm":"sha256",
  "id":"Fe26.2***N0z-_gEqmXchuHCKiTubjw*..[SHORTENED]..2fbb7b775254ca002*73Um8V2ycQbU3-OSSnrRgErXDPujuWiVL3xsvJGh938"
};

const profile = await bpc_client.request({
  method: 'GET',
  path: `/permissions/profile?permission_sources.sap_orders=1`
},
userTicket);

If you only need to make requests using a user ticket - and not the app ticket, like in the example above, do not run the connect().
