authorizeUrl(scopes, state)

This method will construct the correct URL you should redirect your users to to grant your app authorization.

• scopes - array of scopes to grant access to
• state - an unguessable random string used to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks

validateAuthorization(code, state)

This method will set the code from a valid authorization. Throws an Error if the states do not match.

• code - the code from the GET parameter on redirection back from Automatic
• state - the same state used in authorizeUrl()

requestToken(callback)

This method request the OAuth token from Automatic needed for all REST calls.

refreshToken(callback)

This method refreshes the OAuth token with the current token.

isTokenValid()

Returns whether the current token has expired or not.

trips(options, callback)

Returns a single trip specified by id OR multiple trips based on page and per_page values. The options object must contain:

• id - specific trip id

// returns trip with ID = 5
automatic.trips({ id: 5 }, function(err, res, body){
  var trips = body;
});

OR

• page - page number (defaults to 1)
• per_page - number of trip to return per page (defaults to 100)

// return page 5 with 10 trips
automatic.trips({ page: 5, per_page: 10 }, function(err, res, body){
  var trips = body;
});
