    path,

You can’t upload using only an app key and secret. (The app key and secret only identify the app itself; they do not enable access to an account.) You’ll need an access token, and optionally a refresh token for long-term unattended operation, to upload to an account

It is not possible to fully automate the OAuth process where the user chooses to authorize the app and the app then receives the resulting access token and optional refresh token. This needs to be done manually by the user at least once. If your app needs to maintain long-term access without the user manually re-authorizing it repeatedly, the app should request “offline” access so that it gets a refresh token. The refresh token doesn’t expire and can be stored and used repeatedly to get new short-lived access tokens whenever needed, without the user manually reauthorizing the app.

You can find an example here.

@maheshkasindi There are non-Node JavaScript examples, such as this example for uploading, and this example for the authorization flow. The JavaScript examples may not do exactly the same things as the Node examples, but most of the actual code is interchangeable. For example, you can still request “offline” access the same way as the Node example, that is, by using the getAuthenticationUrl options accordingly. If something doesn’t seem to be working as expected, please feel free to open a new issue with the details of the issue.
