node-token-introspection

Node token introspection package introspects a token towards an oauth service that follows the RFC 7662.

Install

npm install token-introspection --save

Node version

Currently we only support latest Node LTS. If you want to use an earlier version of node, please use babel register.

Usage

Introspect package is configured with endpoint and client credentials, and a function is returned. Calling that function with token, and optional token_type_hint will return a Promise.

const tokenIntrospection = require('token-introspection')({
    endpoint: 'https://example.com/introspect',
    client_id: '<Client ID>',
    client_secret: '<Client Secret>',
});

tokenIntrospection(token).then(console.log).catch(console.warn);

• IntrospectionError: Base error, thrown when introspection fails for some reason.
• ConfigurationError: Thrown when configuration is wrong.
• MalformedTokenError: Thrown when token is malformed, currently not publicly exposed.
• TokenNotActiveError: Thrown when token is not active, base error for TokenExpiredError and NotBeforeError.
