Video Access Token Server for Node.js
Looking for the JavaScript Video Quickstart? It has been moved here.
This server-side application demonstrates generating Access Token for Twilio Video. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:
| Config Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Account SID | Your primary Twilio account identifier - find this in the console here. |
| API Key | Used to authenticate - generate one here. |
| API Secret | Used to authenticate - just like the above, you'll get one here. |
A Note on API Keys
When you generate an API key pair at the URLs above, your API Secret will only
be shown once - make sure to save this in a secure location,
or possibly your ~/.bash_profile.
Setting up the Node.js Application
Create a configuration file for your application:
cp .env.example .envEdit .env with the three configuration parameters we gathered from above.
Next, we need to install our dependencies from npm:
npm installNow we should be all set! Run the application using the node command.
node .To generate Access Token, visit http://localhost:3000?identity=alice&room=example.
