Requirements

• Node.js 6+
• npm (Optional) - This package manager isn't required to use this SDK, but it is required to use the installation instructions below.

NOTE:

These instructions are for MacOS. They will need to be adapted if you are installing on Windows.

Installation

Follow these steps to add this SDK as a dependency to your project.

1. (Optional) Create a new directory for your Node.js project. Skip this step if you already have created a project. If you plan to create multiple Node.js projects that use Telesign, we recommend that you group them within a telesign_integrations directory.

    cd ~/code/local
    mkdir telesign_integrations
    cd telesign_integrations
    mkdir {your project name}
    cd {your project name}

1. Install the SDK as a dependency in the top-level directory of your project using the command below. Once the SDK is installed, you should see a message in the terminal notifying you that you have successfully installed the SDK.

   npm install telesignsdk --save

Authentication

If you use a Telesign SDK to make your request, authentication is handled behind-the-scenes for you. All you need to provide is your Customer ID and API Key(or password). The SDKs apply Digest authentication whenever they make a request to a Telesign service where it is supported. Intelligence uses Basic authentication.
