aoc.api.users.getUsers()
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

aoc.api.nodes.getInformationonaSpecificNode('42')

Examples

See Examples for how to use the SDK to perform various tasks, including retrieving an OAuth access token. More on OAuth below:

OAuth

This SDK supports multiple application types and grant types for exchanging for an access token:

1. authorization_code flow (example) - Recommended for apps that run a node backend web server and intend the user to authenticate via a browser.
2. jwt-bearer flow (example) - Recommended for browser-less experiences (such as a CLI) in which the app makes requests on behalf of the user.
3. token flow (example) - Simple, browser-based example to retrieve an access token. Your API integration may or may not support this.
4. authorization_code flow with PKCE - While this is recommended for performing OAuth2 in the user's browser or other public apps, Aspera On Cloud does not yet support the PKCE extension.

Manual API calls

If you require an API call that is not supported by the SDK, you can use the request method to manually construct your own API call.

let axiosOptions = {
  method: 'POST'
  data: { ... }
};
aoc.request('/foo', axiosOptions)
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
