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
- Sign-up for a Google Cloud API account and create an API project.
-
Create credentials (OAuth client id) and add a 'Authorized redirect URI' of
http://localhost:3000/callback. - Obtain your
client_id&client_secretfor usage in next step
Also...
See detailed instructions on how to create credentials
Steps to generate .gtokens.json
git clone https://github.com/bradoyler/google-tokens.git- copy .gtokens.example.json to .gtokens.json
- fill in
client_idandclient_secret - install & run
npm install
npm start
- follow prompt and copy
refresh_tokento your '.gtokens.json'
API
const GoogleTokens = require('google-tokens')
const tokens = new GoogleTokens({ client_id, client_secret }) // 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:
tokens.authPrompt({ scope, prompt: 'consent' })
.then(tokens => console.log('OAuthTokens:', tokens))
Or you can run:
npm run refresh
TODOs:
- add CLI support
- allow for using shortnames (ie.
auth/drive) in scope - tests for all options
