A Node.js/Express app built on 23andMe's API. Checks the ACVR1B gene for high muscle strength.
Fork and clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:yourname/api-example-express.git
Use npm to install the latest dependencies:
cd api-example-express && npm install
Get your dev credentials at https://api.23andme.com, and modify your .env file so foreman reads them into environment variables:
CLIENT_ID=xxxx
CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx
REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5000/receive_code/
COOKIE_SECRET=xxxx
Start foreman locally and go to http://localhost:5000/ to see it in action.
foreman start
I host the app on Heroku. You can, too. Just setup your Heroku credentials for Node.js and make sure you update your REDIRECT_URI on https://api.23andme.com and as a Heroku config variable to match:
heroku config:set REDIRECT_URI=http://herokuurl.com/receive_code/
Make sure the CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, and COOKIE_SECRET environment variables are set too.
heroku config:set CLIENT_ID=xxxx
heroku config:set CLIENT_SECRET=xxxx
heroku config:set COOKIE_SECRET=xxxx
