Partner Center REST API with Node.js

Sample code calling the Partner Center REST API with Node.js. This sample demonstrates authenticating using either the app-only or app+user scenario. When the application is run, it will do the following:

1. Login to Azure AD & obtain an access token
2. Obtain an access token from the Partner Center REST API for use in future calls
3. Query the Partner Center REST API if a domain is available
4. Query the Partner Center REST API for all the current partner's customers

Usage

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/PartnerCenterSamples/partnercenter-restapi-nodejs.git

1. Install NPM package dependencies:

npm install

1. Run in normal mode...

npm run start

... or in debug mode (more on this below)

npm run start:debug

Refer to the package.json file for details on what each of these scripts runs for further control.

Setup

The console application is authored in TypeScript that must be transpiled to JavaScript. Furthermore external type definitions are imported and managed using the typings project. Therefore you need to install two NPM modules. These can be installed locally, but since they are typically used across many projects, it's recommended you install them globally with the --global | -g flag:

npm install -g typescript typings

Configuration

The console app does not prompt the user for any input, rather the run is controlled by a configuration file in the root: config.json. Refer to the following descriptions on how to configure the app.
