Setup Steps

• Clone this repository
• Install dependencies
  • npm install
• You will need to your own MailChimp account (this is free to do). This is so that you can register a dummy application so that you have a client id and secret to use when testing:
  • Instructions to register an app can be found here:
    • https://mailchimp.com/developer/guides/access-user-data-with-oauth-2/#register-your-application
    • When you get to Redirect URI field, you should insert http://127.0.0.1:3000/oauth/mailchimp/callback as this is what is defined in the code we will use
• Once you have registered a dummy app, copy the client id and client secret and paste it in the respective MAILCHIMP_CLIENT_ID and MAILCHIMP_CLIENT_SECRET variables in the index.js file
• The code inside index.js is copied straight from Mailchimp's documentation
  • https://mailchimp.com/developer/guides/access-user-data-with-oauth-2/#implement-the-oauth-2-workflow-on-your-server
• I have made a change in this code so that we are using simple-oauth2 when retrieving the access token - you can find this on L89-95.
• To run the application, you just need to execute the following command in your terminal:
  • node index.js
• Then open up the web page, and click on the here link to go through MailChimp's login page to authorise the app (you use the same Mailchimp credentials to authorise)

Expected Behaviour

• After authorisng the app, you should get re-directed back to your local webpage, with the access token displayed.
  • You can re-create this by commenting out the simple oauth getToken logic i.e. comment out L90-94, and then uncomment L69-85 and try re-running again.

Actual Behaviour

• I get the Error: Unexpected token in JSON at position 0 error mentioned
