Passport-SoundCloud

Passport strategy for authenticating with SoundCloud using the OAuth 2.0 API.

This module lets you authenticate using SoundCloud in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, SoundCloud authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

Install

$ npm install passport-soundcloud

Usage

Configure Strategy

The SoundCloud authentication strategy authenticates users using a SoundCloud account and OAuth 2.0 tokens. The strategy requires a verify callback, which accepts these credentials and calls done providing a user, as well as options specifying a client ID, client secret, and callback URL.

passport.use(new SoundCloudStrategy({
    clientID: SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/soundcloud/callback"
  },
  function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
    User.findOrCreate({ soundcloudId: profile.id }, function (err, user) {
      return done(err, user);
    });
  }
));

Authenticate Requests

Use passport.authenticate(), specifying the 'soundcloud' strategy, to authenticate requests.

For example, as route middleware in an Express application:

app.get('/auth/soundcloud',
  passport.authenticate('soundcloud'));

app.get('/auth/soundcloud/callback', 
  passport.authenticate('soundcloud', { failureRedirect: '/login' }),
  function(req, res) {
    // Successful authentication, redirect home.
    res.redirect('/');
  });

Examples

For a complete, working example, refer to the login example.
