This app demonstrates how to authenticate clients with Ustream's oauth API and the ustream nodejs sdk. Two oauth flows are featured in this demo:
Implicit flow Suitable for standalone, native clients (desktop / mobile). The user enters its credentials to a secure login webpage. After logging in, the browser is redirected to a special URL (defined by the client), passing the access token in the URL. -- Ustream Documentation
Authorization code flow Suitable for third-party websites which contain a client and a server component. The user enters its credentials to a secure login webpage. After logging in, the browser is redirected to a special URL (defined by the client), passing an authorization code in the URL. The third-party server obtains the access token with another HTTP request in the background, using the authorization code. This method is more secure than the implicit flow if the third-party client has a client+server model. See the OAuth2 Draft for details. -- Ustream Documentation
An example of the third type of flow, client credentials flow can be found in the ustream nodejs sdk readme. You can find more information about authentication flows in the official ustream docs.
yarn install
USTREAM_CLIENT_ID - Your ustream client ID.
USTREAM_CLIENT_SECRET - Your ustream client secret.
USTREAM_REDIRECT_URI - https://yourdomain.com/channels
The value of
USTREAM_REDIRECT_URImust exactly match the redirect uri you set when creating your Ustream API credentials.This demo expects the user to be redirected to the
/channelsendpoint after logging in to their Ustream account.
The app will run on port 3000. It must be hosted on a webserver that ustream can access (localhost will not work).
