google_api_get_access_token

Setup Google OAuth2.0 app

1. Go to Google API Console and setup a Google OAUTH2.0 app
2. In the Google API Console OAUTH2.0 app you created enable the Google Libraries/APIs you want to use (these examples use Photos Library API)
3. In the Google API Console OAUTH2.0 app you created save the JSON credentials (credentials.json), example:

   {
       "installed": {
           "client_id": "REMOVED CLIENT ID",
           "project_id": "REMOVED PROJECT ID",
           "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
           "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
           "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
           "client_secret": "REMOVED CLIENT SECRET",
           "redirect_uris": [
               "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob",
               "http://localhost"
           ]
       }
   }

Using the google_api_get_access_token.sh helper script

1. Export the JSON credentials (credentials.json) into an env var GOOGLE_API_OAUTH_CONF:

   export GOOGLE_API_OAUTH_CONF="`cat credentials.json`"

2. Set the OAUTH scopes you want to use:

   export GOOGLE_API_OAUTH_SCOPES="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary"

3. The script usage:

    ./google_api_get_access_token.sh
    google_api_get_access_token.sh requires an option.
    Usage: google_api_get_access_token.sh [-h] [-r] [-u] [-t authorization_code]
       google_api_get_access_token.sh -h                      Display this help message.
       google_api_get_access_token.sh -r                      Get access_token from refresh_token (the refresh_token stored in: /home/mbohun/.google_api_refresh.token)
       google_api_get_access_token.sh -u                      Create URL for getting an authorization_code.
       google_api_get_access_token.sh -t authorization_code   Get access_token and refresh_token (the refresh_token will be stored in: /home/mbohun/.google_api_refresh.token).
       
   

4. Get the authorization URL:

   ./google_api_get_access_token.sh -u
   https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=803537807130-07i8be23f46esl6tffrg0bebfe2e9c5f.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary&response_type=code&access_type=offline

5. Copy and paste the authorization URL into a browser and do all the consent confirmations, that will give you the at the end an authorization code:

   

   

   

   

6. Use the authorization code to get the access token; this operation will as well get and save the refresh token that will be used in all subsequent operations:

   ./google_api_get_access_token.sh -t 4/XQHOy_jiWWVC9CIQE6KjAk-yPTqdv63IPtvZGkoxSjvxD7afu_ORXwQ
   ya29.GlscB7ThzEzFMbBSTv6erE5DIfYjpxO2LusrpFE-SmUB6iEYZOf7OVcAlmFv0eMiuyKr6o-lL_23qiTus3HNDlR3lvH3dncMEn2Oa5-UIPWzCKvnq670v65lFeXd

7. From here on (until it's invalidation) we will use the refresh token:

   ./google_api_get_access_token.sh -r
   ya29.GlscB849chO8jINU4Si4Obz0ygUh6E2Z-5IzQqUOqIDmbrcqDR2bYC_j3TkpXGBirMsO8boDJfm5Ix66C5UowiJzJatGzWpa3_7AAWFh-Vqw5gJNa_uyO94CHKMw

   ./google_api_get_access_token.sh -r
