Secure token generation for Pica AuthKit using Node.js .

Install

With npm:

npm i @picahq/authkit-node

With yarn:

yarn add @picahq/authkit-node

Creating a token endpoint

You'll want to create an internal endpoint that's used to generate secure tokens for your frontend. You can do so by adding code that looks like the below snippet.

import { AuthKitToken } from "@picahq/authkit-node";

app.post("/authkit-token", async (request, response) => {
  const authKitToken = new AuthKitToken("sk_live_1234");
  const token = await authKitToken.create();

  response.send(token);
});

You'll want to switch out the API Key for your own, which will later tell your frontend which integrations you'd like to make available to your users.

If you pass an identity or identityType (user, team, organization, or project), you'll be able to query for all connections scoped to that identity. The identity is used to generate the unique Connection Key for the user once they successfully connect an account.
