google-tokens

Tool for getting Google Cloud API OAuth tokens (refresh token)

Why?

• To simplify getting OAuth tokens

• As a alternative to OAuth Playground

• OAuth2 for Web Server Applications

Getting started

1. Sign-up for a Google Cloud API account.

1. Create an API project with an OAuth client id and add a 'Authorized redirect URI' of http://localhost:3000/callback.

1. Obtain your client_id & client_secret from the credentials JSON file from the console

Steps to generate .gtokens.json

1. git clone https://github.com/bradoyler/google-tokens.git

1. copy .gtokens.example.json to .gtokens.json

1. fill in client_id and client_secret

1. install & run

``` npm install npm start ```

1. follow prompt and copy refresh_token to your '.gtokens.json'

API

```javascript const GoogleTokens = require('google-tokens') const tokens = new GoogleTokens({ clientid, clientsecret }) // OAuth credentials const scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly' tokens.authPrompt({ scope }) // required to pass API scope .then(tokens => console.log('OAuthTokens:', tokens)) .catch(console.error) ```

NOTE: you will only get a refresh_token the first-time you authenticate, but you can force to get new tokens by using the 'prompt' option, like so:

```javascript tokens.authPrompt({ scope, prompt: 'consent' }) .then(tokens => console.log('OAuthTokens:', tokens)) ``` ----

TODOs:

• add CLI support

• allow for using shortnames (ie. auth/drive ) in scope

• tests for all options
