# trakt.tv
**Trakt.tv API wrapper for Node.js, featuring:**

- [All Trakt.tv API v2 methods](docs/available_methods.md)
- [Plugin extension](docs/plugins.md)

*For more information about the trakt.tv API, read http://docs.trakt.apiary.io/*

## Example usage

#### Setup

npm install trakt.tv

#### Initialize
```js
const Trakt = require('trakt.tv');

let options = {
client_id: ,
client_secret: ,
redirect_uri: null, // defaults to 'urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob'
api_url: null, // defaults to 'https://api.trakt.tv'
useragent: null, // defaults to 'trakt.tv/'
pagination: true // defaults to false, global pagination (see below)
};
const trakt = new Trakt(options);
```
Add `debug: true` to the `options` object to get debug logs of the requests executed in your console.

#### OAUTH

1. Generate Auth URL
```js
const traktAuthUrl = trakt.get_url();
```

2. Authentication is done at that URL, it redirects to the provided uri with a code and a state

3. Verify code (and optionally state for better security) from returned auth, and get a token in exchange
```js
trakt.exchange_code('code', 'csrf token (state)').then(result => {
// contains tokens & session information
// API can now be used with authorized requests
});
```

#### Alternate OAUTH "device" method
```js
trakt.get_codes().then(poll => {
// poll.verification_url: url to visit in a browser
// poll.user_code: the code the user needs to enter on trakt

// verify if app was authorized
return trakt.poll_access(poll);
}).catch(error => {
// error.message == 'Expired' will be thrown if timeout is reached
});
```

#### Refresh token
```js
trakt.refresh_token().then(results => {
// results are auto-injected in the main module cache
});
```

#### Storing token over sessions
```js
// get token, store it safely.
const token = trakt.export_token();

// injects back stored token on new session.
trakt.import_token(token).then(newTokens => {
// Contains token, refreshed if needed (store it back)
});
```

#### Revoke token
```js
trakt.revoke_token();
```

#### Actual API requests
See methods in [methods.json](methods.json) or [the docs](docs/available_methods.md).

```js
trakt.calendars.all.shows({
start_date: '2015-11-13',
days: '7',
extended: 'full'
}).then(shows => {
// Contains Object{} response from API (show data)
});
```

```js
trakt.search.text({
query: 'tron',
type: 'movie,person'
}).then(response => {
// Contains Array[] response from API (search data)
});
```

```js
trakt.search.id({
id_type: 'imdb',
id: 'tt0084827'
}).then(response => {
// Contains Array[] response from API (imdb data)
});
```

#### Using pagination
You can extend your calls with `pagination: true` to get the extra pagination info from headers.

```js
trakt.movies.popular({
pagination: true
}).then(movies => {
/**
movies = Object {
data: [],
pagination: {
item-count: "80349",
limit: "10",
page: "1",
page-count: "8035"
}
}
**/
});
```

Note: _this will contain `data` and `pagination` for all calls, even if no pagination is available (`result.pagination` will be `false`). it's typically for advanced use only_

#### Load plugins
When calling `new Trakt()`, include desired plugins in an object (must be installed from npm):

```js
const trakt = new Trakt({
client_id: ,
client_secret: ,
plugins: { // load plugins
images: require('trakt.tv-images')
}
options: { // pass options to plugins
images: {
smallerImages: true
}
}
});
```

The plugin can be accessed with the key you specify. For example `trakt.images.get()`.

#### Write plugins
See the [documentation](docs/writing_plugins.md).

#### Notes
- You can use 'me' as username if the user is authenticated.
- Timestamps (such as token _expires_ property) are Epoch in milliseconds.
