Install

$ npm install mercadopago

Promises and Callbacks support

Every method supports either promises and callbacks. For example:

var at = mp.getAccessToken ();

at.then (
    function (accessToken) {
        console.log (accessToken);
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log (error);
    });

is the same as:

mp.getAccessToken(function (err, accessToken){
    if (err) {
        console.log (err);
    } else {
        console.log (accessToken);
    }
});

In order to use callbacks, simply pass a function as the last parameter.

Generic methods

You can access any resource from the MercadoPago API using the generic methods. The basic structure is:

mp.method(request).then(...)

where request can be:

{
    "uri": "The resource URI, relative to https://api.mercadopago.com",
    "params": "Optional. Key:Value object with parameters to be appended to the URL",
    "data": "Optional. Object or String to be sent in POST and PUT requests",
    "headers": "Optional. Key:Value object with custom headers, like content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    "authenticate": "Optional. Boolean to specify if the GET method has to authenticate with credentials before request. Set it to false when accessing public APIs"
}

Examples:

// Get a resource, with optional URL params. Also you can disable authentication for public APIs
mp.get ({
    "uri": "/resource/uri",
    "params": {params},
    "authenticate": true
});

// Create a resource with "data" and optional URL params.
mp.post ({
    "uri": "/resource/uri",
    "data": data,
    "params": {params}
});

// Update a resource with "data" and optional URL params.
mp.put ({
    "uri": "/resource/uri",
    "data": data,
    "params": {params}
});

// Delete a resource with optional URL params.
mp.delete ({
    "uri": "/resource/uri",
    "params": {params}
});

For example, if you want to get the Sites list (no params and no authentication):

mp.get ({
    "uri": "/sites",
    "authenticate": false
}).then (function (sites) {
    console.log (sites);
});
