Node Examples for the PayPal REST API with AJAX

Featuring SuperAgent for this festival of AJAX.

• It's a powerful ajax cleanser, and works on windows no problem.

There is a jquery version of these examples: payjaq

• It's a longer install for the deps on windows, but that's where the jquery is at.

See the PayPal API

Install:

• Run the nodejs.org installer.
• Download the zip file.
• Extract it and open a shell there.
• npm install superagent
• npm install -g coffee-script if desired?

Run:

• node payper_test.js or coffee payper_test.coffee
• coffee -cb payper_test.coffee compiles to javascript

Notes:

• To create live test objects, get a dev client id and secret from PayPal.
• Immutable PayPal-hosted objects may have outages, like on 4/4/2013 2:15 PM Pacific, or go away.
• The error output was on res.body.payments[0]
• TypeError cannot read property [0] of undefined
• The tests that try to execute a payment Correctly Fail with PAYMENT_STATE_INVALID when running static PayPal test objects.
• Note the payment approval step must have been taken by the user for completePayment to succeed.
• Don't forget to redirect to approval_url listed in response links if using the paypal payment method. See a simple example.
• Since this is an example, uses a single-arg callback.
• Otherwise, it may be a callback per result state, using a common err handler.
