Overview

Zero dependency library for generating a Mastercard API compliant OAuth signature.

Compatibility

Node 6.12.3+

There shouldn't be any Node compatibility issues with this package, but it's a good idea to keep your Node versions up-to-date. It is recommended that you use one of the LTS Node.js releases, or one of the more general recent releases. A Node version manager such as nvm (Mac and Linux) or nvm-windows is a good way to stay on top of this.

References

• Body hash extension for non application/x-www-form-urlencoded payloads

Usage

Prerequisites

Before using this library, you will need to set up a project in the Mastercard Developers Portal.

As part of this set up, you'll receive credentials for your app:

• A consumer key (displayed on the Mastercard Developer Portal)
• A private request signing key (matching the public certificate displayed on the Mastercard Developer Portal)

Adding the Library to Your Project

npm i mastercard-oauth1-signer

Loading the Signing Key

The following code shows how to load the private key using node-forge:

const forge = require("node-forge");
const fs = require("fs");
const p12Content = fs.readFileSync("<insert PKCS#12 key file path>", 'binary');
const p12Asn1 = forge.asn1.fromDer(p12Content, false);
const p12 = forge.pkcs12.pkcs12FromAsn1(p12Asn1, false, "<insert key password>");
const keyObj = p12.getBags({
    friendlyName: "<insert key alias>",
    bagType: forge.pki.oids.pkcs8ShroudedKeyBag
}).friendlyName[0];
const signingKey = forge.pki.privateKeyToPem(keyObj.key);

Creating the OAuth Authorization Header

The method that does all the heavy lifting is getAuthorizationHeader. You can call into it directly and as long as you provide the correct parameters, it will return a string that you can add into your request's Authorization header.

const consumerKey = "<insert consumer key>";
const uri = "https://sandbox.api.mastercard.com/service";
const method = "POST";
const payload = "Hello world!";

const oauth = require('mastercard-oauth1-signer');
const authHeader = oauth.getAuthorizationHeader(uri, method, payload, consumerKey, signingKey);

Integrating with OpenAPI Generator API Client Libraries

OpenAPI Generator generates API client libraries from OpenAPI Specs. It provides generators and library templates for supporting multiple languages and frameworks.

Generators currently supported:

• javascript

javascript

OpenAPI Generator

Client libraries can be generated using the following command:

java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -i openapi-spec.yaml -g javascript -o out

• CONFIG OPTIONS for javascript

Overriding applyAuthToRequest

The Authorization header can be added before sending the requests by overriding the applyAuthToRequest function:

const service = require('../service/index.js');
const apiClient = require('../service/ApiClient.js');
const client = apiClient.instance;
client.basePath = "https://sandbox.api.mastercard.com";
client.applyAuthToRequest = function(request) {
    const _end = request._end;
    request._end = function() {
        const authHeader = oauth.getAuthorizationHeader(request.url, request.method, request._data, consumerKey, signingKey);
        request.req.setHeader('Authorization', authHeader);
        _end.call(request);
    }
    return request;
};
const serviceApi = new service.ServiceApi();
const opts = {}
const callback = function(error, data, response) {
    // ...
};
serviceApi.call(opts, callback);
// ...
