Looking for an easy way to authenticate your users? Our Node MindMeld Authentication sample app explains how to get started with simple user authentication so you can easily validate requests with our platform.

First, make sure you have Node.js installed on your computer. Then you can go ahead and download the sample code below.

App: Node MindMeld Authentication

Platform: Node.js

Sample code: Download here

MindMeld requires a token parameter for the majority of requests, which is then used to determine whether a user is allowed to access each specific resource. You can obtain a token with user privileges either through third-party services, like Twitter and Facebook, or with simple user authentication. Simple user authentication is a secure way to authenticate users because it gives them a token only when you submit your particular administrator and app user credentials.
