Yoto Cards List - Vanilla Node.js Example

A vanilla Node.js example for the Yoto API that uses device login flow and lists your cards

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Create a .env file:

   echo "YOTO_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here" > .env

Usage

Run the example:

npm start

First Run

On your first run, you'll see something like:

=========================

No saved authentication found. Starting device login...

└─────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. Visit the verification URL or scan the QR code (if you have one)
2. Enter the user code when prompted
3. Complete the authentication on your device
4. The script will automatically continue and show your cards

Subsequent Runs

After the first authentication, the refresh token is saved locally, so subsequent runs will use the saved authentication and go straight to listing your cards.
