Example usage

Setup

npm install trakt.tv

Initialize

var Trakt = require('trakt.tv');
var 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

var url = trakt.get_url();

Verify code/PIN (and optionally state) from returned auth

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

Alternate OAUTH "device" method

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

Storing token over sessions

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

trakt.import_token(token) // Injects stored token.
    .then(function(shows) {
        // Contains token, refreshed if needed (store it back)
    })
    .catch(function(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(function(shows) {
        // Contains Object{} response from API (show data)
    })
    .catch(function(err) { 
        // Handles errors 
    });

Load plugins

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

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