Authorize Method

Performs user authorization and gets an access token.

Syntax

oauthclient.authorize([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Call this method to perform user authorization and get an access token. When the user completes authorization and its data is sent to the server, OAuthClient will fire the Wait event periodically, to show how much waiting time is left. Upon successful authorization, the AccessToken and ExpiresAt properties are filled.

Returns true if the authorization was granted, and false otherwise.
