REST API SDK for Node.js

Repository for PayPal's Node.js SDK (node.js version >=0.6.x) and Node.js samples for REST API. Refer Node.js Sample Reference App for a sample web app implementing the REST APIs.

Usage

To write an app using the SDK

• Register for a developer account and get your client_id and secret at PayPal Developer Portal.

• Add dependency 'paypal-rest-sdk' in your package.json file.

• Require 'paypal-rest-sdk' in your file

  var paypal_sdk = require('paypal-rest-sdk');

• Create config options, with required parameters (host, port, client_id, secret).

  paypal_sdk.configure({
    'host': 'api.sandbox.paypal.com',
    'port': '',
    'client_id': 'EBWKjlELKMYqRNQ6sYvFo64FtaRLRR5BdHEESmha49TM',
    'client_secret': 'EO422dn3gQLgDbuwqTjzrFgFtaRLRR5BdHEESmha49TM'
  });

• Invoke the rest api (eg: store a credit card) with required parameters (eg: data, config_options, callback).

  var card_data = {
    "type": "visa",
    "number": "4417119669820331",
    "expire_month": "11",
    "expire_year": "2018",
    "cvv2": "123",
    "first_name": "Joe",
    "last_name": "Shopper"
  };
  
  paypal_sdk.credit_card.create(card_data, function(error, credit_card){
    if (error) {
      console.log(error);
      throw error;
    } else {
      console.log("Create Credit-Card Response");
      console.log(credit_card);
    }
  })

• To use OpenID Connect

  // OpenID configuration
  paypal_sdk.configure({
    'openid_client_id': 'CLIENT_ID',
    'openid_client_secret': 'CLIENT_SECRET',
    'openid_redirect_uri': 'http://example.com' });
  
  // Authorize url
  paypal_sdk.openid_connect.authorize_url({'scope': 'openid profile'});
  
  // Get tokeninfo with Authorize code
  paypal_sdk.openid_connect.tokeninfo.create("Replace with authorize code", function(error, tokeninfo){
    console.log(tokeninfo);
  });
  
  // Get tokeninfo with Refresh code
  paypal_sdk.openid_connect.tokeninfo.refresh("Replace with refresh_token", function(error, tokeninfo){
    console.log(tokeninfo);
  });
  
  // Get userinfo with Access code
  paypal_sdk.openid_connect.userinfo.get("Replace with access_code", function(error, userinfo){
    console.log(userinfo);
  });
  
  // Logout url
  paypal_sdk.openid_connect.logout_url("Replace with tokeninfo.id_token");

Running Samples
