Passport strategy for authenticating with Yahoo! access tokens using the OAuth 2.0 API.
This module lets you authenticate using Yahoo! in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, Yahoo! authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
npm install passport-yahoo-token
The Yahoo! authentication strategy authenticates users using a Yahoo! account and OAuth 2.0 tokens.
The strategy requires a verify
callback, which accepts these credentials and calls next
providing a user, as well as options
specifying a app ID and app secret.
passport.use(new YahooTokenStrategy({
clientID: YAHOO_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: YAHOO_CLIENT_SECRET,
passReqToCallback: true
}, function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, profile, next) {
User.findOrCreate({'yahoo.id': profile.id}, function(error, user) {
return next(error, user);
});
}));
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the yahoo-token
strategy, to authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/yahoo', passport.authenticate('yahoo-token'));
Or if you are using Sails framework:
// AuthController.js
module.exports = {
yahoo: function(req, res) {
passport.authenticate('yahoo-token', function(error, user, info) {
if (error) return res.serverError(error);
if (info) return res.unauthorized(info);
return res.ok(user);
})(req, res);
}
};
The POST request to this route should include a JSON object with the keys access_token
, xoauth_yahoo_guid
, and optionally, refresh_token
set to the credentials you receive from Yahoo!.
If you receive a 401 Unauthorized
error, it is most likely because you have wrong access token or not yet specified any application "Permissions".
Once you refresh access token with new permissions, try to send this access token again.
