Personal Access Token (PAT)

This sample project demonstrates how to authenticate in the Uphold API using a Personal Access Token (PAT). For further background, please refer to the API documentation

Summary

Ideal for scripts, automated tools and command-line programs which remain under the control of your personal Uphold account.

This sample project performs the following actions:

• Create a new PAT
• List all created PATs associated to this account

Important notice: If the account has two-factor authentication (2FA) active, a one-time-password (OTP) must be passed when creating PATs. In the Sandbox environment, the special OTP value 000000 can be passed for convenience, as can be seen in the index.js file. In production, you would need to use an actual TOTP code provided by your chosen authenticator app (e.g. Google Authenticator).

Requirements

• Node.js v13.14.0 or later
• An account at https://sandbox.uphold.com

Setup

• Run npm install (or yarn install).
• Create a .env file based on the .env.example file, and populate it with the required data.

Run

• Run node index.js.
