Im trying to create a new API connection in Google Cloud, one of the required fields is App ID. Can someone help me understand what the app id should be? No matter what try i'm getting error 'appid' is not a valid connection property.
In context here in the a screenshot:
I have tried:
the GCP project id
the application name in Shopify (the API i'm connecting to)
making up a name
the Shopify ClientID (the counterpart to the Client Secret)
thanks in advance!
Everyone who has an account with google cloud has a unique "AppID". This is used to identify every user using this ID. You can find yours on your profile. Thank you
If you are seeing the error 'appid' is not a valid connection property, it means that you are trying to connect to a server that does not accept the App ID as a valid authentication method. To resolve this issue, you can try one of the following solutions:
If the server is using an app ID, ensure that you are using the
correct app ID and that the app ID is configured correctly. The app
id is the GCP project number, the numerical project number, not the
project id. This is seen in the console dashboard.
Use a different authentication method (e.g. username and password,
OAuth, etc.).
Check the server's settings to ensure that the App ID is enabled as
an authentication method.
Refer to this SO1, SO2 for how to find the APP ID

I am trying to enroll a user on my Moodle site via using the Moodle API.
My Moodle instance is hosted on AWS and all relevant ports are open and listening. So, from the network perspective, I can commit that is all ok.
The steps I have already done based on Moodle Documentation:
I have enabled web services on Administration > Mobile app >Mobile settings
I have gone through the 10 steps on the overview of allowing an external system to control Moodle as explained in the documentation (shown also in this Youtube video)
For testing purposes, I am using Postman. Some requests are going through (e.g. getting the token for a certain user, getting the list of all courses, etc.)
Example:
But when I try to i.e. create a user or enroll a user in an existing course I am getting this error:
{
"exception": "webservice_access_exception",
"errorcode": "accessexception",
"message": "Access control exception"
}
The way I am trying to i.e. create the user is as follows:
In the body section I am sending the following data:
users[0][username]
users[0][email]
users[0][lastname]
users[0][firstname]
users[0][password]
Based on my research, most of the contributors suggested enabling web services, but as mentioned above I have enabled them but the problem persists.
Can someone help me solve the issue here or maybe suggest a way of debugging it?
Fortunately, I managed to solve the issue for both user creation and user enrollment.
Here is a great guide that helped me. In addition, you need to add some additional functions to the web service (roles wary based on what you want to do in Moodle) and also you need to alter the permissions of the new user (again depending on what you want to do)...
I get the following error on my Google cloud account if I try to authenticate via oauth2.
That’s an error.
Error: deleted_client
The OAuth client was deleted.
It used to work for over 2 years now. I did not have changed anything.
How can I repair this?
It seems that your OAuth client got deleted from your console, there's a similar question regarding this issue in the following link. You can check that by heading to the APIs & Services menu, under the Credentials topic.
Quoting the provided solution there:
You need to restore (if possible) or re-create it.
Dashboard -> Enable APIs and get credentials like keys -> Credentials -> New Credentials -> OAuth Client ID
Add the new client id and Reversed Client id to GoogleService-Info.plist
Finally add com.googleusercontent.{apps.YOUR_CLIENT_ID} to URLSchemes
Trying to customize Portfolio Item Burnup , got source code from https://github.com/RallyApps/app-catalog/tree/master/src/apps/charts/rpm/burn
Now after compiling using "rally-app-builder build" command and after that running with "rally-app-builder run" command, I am able to run the page. In another tab of chrome, Rally is logged in. the launched page is getting authentication from rally session and able to get some data like searching some PFG/PF etc.
Now problem is after applying some settings and selecting some PF/PFG, its again demands authentication (for rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/security/authorize). This authentication is not working with my credential.
I have also generated some api key from rally1.rallydev.com/login/accounts/index.html#/keys ,but, that also not working.
Pls help on this.
Thanks,
Udayan
I'm assuming you use SSO to login? If so, you won't be able to correctly authenticate against that /security/authorize endpoint (which is used for generating a CSRF token when making POST/PUT/DELETE calls against wsapi- GETS are fine).
You were on the right track with the api key. Generate a key and then just add it to the query string of your app url:
http://localhost:1337/App-debug.html?apiKey=83h3lkb4b43302bfvlav
There's also a guide in the App SDK docs that describes this in greater detail: https://help.rallydev.com/apps/2.1/doc/#!/guide/embedding_apps
For my application I want the user to be able to store files on Google Drive and for my service to have access to these same files created with the application.
I created a Client ID for web application and was able to upload/list/download files from JavaScript (client side) with drive.appfolder scope. This is good, this is half of what I want to do.
Now I want to access the same files from Node.js (server side). I am lost as to how to do this. Do I create a new Client ID for the server? (if so, how will the user authenticate?) Do I pass the AuthToken my user got client-side and try to use that on the server? I don't think this will work as the AuthToke is time-sensitive (and probably not intended to be used from multiple IPs).
Any direction or example server-side code will be helpful. Again, all I want is to access these same files the user created with my application, not any other files in the user's Google Drive.
CLARIFICATION: I think my question boils down to: "Is it possible to access the same Application Data on Google Drive both client-side and server-side?"
Do I create a new Client ID for the server?
Up to you. You don't need to, but you can. See below.
if so, how will the user authenticate?
Up to you. OAuth is about authorisation, not authentication.
Just in case you meant authorisation, the user authorises the Project, which may contain multiple client IDs.
Do I pass the AuthToken my user got client-side and try to use that on the server?
You can do, but not a good idea for the reason you state. The preferred approach is to have a separate server Client ID, and use that to request offline access, which returns (eventually) a Refresh Token, which you store in your server. You then use that Refresh Token to request Access Tokens whenever you need them.
AuthToken is ... (and probably not intended to be used from multiple IPs).
It is not bound to a specific IP address
Is it possible to access the same Application Data on Google Drive both client-side and server-side?"
Yes
Most of what you need is at https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer
I'm just trying to make a little, simple application (that i already made two years ago in Objective-C with api V1) that presents a screen with time of event and description and a button : "insert event in your calendar".
Every user has, obviously, to configure the application with his google username and password.
The app simplifies some process using the first calendar available.
I had infinite problem trying to do it with javascript (this app will be made in html5), so, looking at docs, I ended up trying to make a back-end on my server in php5 (thought it could be easier...ohohoho).
So, i read docs from here : https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/
What i did :
1)
Get to the Google Developers Console.
Created a project.
I now have this (not real keys):
OAuth 2.0
Client ID 352xxxyy9.apps.googleusercontent.com
Email address 3527xxxy#developer.gserviceaccount.com
Service Account
Client ID 3523xxxyy419-vpfgdfg9u77s0.apps.googleusercontent.com
Email address 35ssss9-zzzzsnhavna78ea0b9gvn6a9u77s0#developer.gserviceaccount.com
Public key fingerprints :ac15ddfxdffrtg5565fgfg545r
2)
I installed Google APIs Client Library for PHP (beta) in my server.
doc says:
Using the Google APIs Client Library for PHP requires that you download the PHP source. In the future, packages will be provided. Refer to the project page for more details.
Run the following commands to download and install the source: svn blaj blah blah.
I copied the entire source in my server. Easy :)
Then..
3) You can now import the classes you will need using the following statements:
require_once "../src/apiClient.php";
require_once "../src/contrib/apiCalendarService.php";
Ok, i'll insert them in my php script !
4)" Configure your app"
You must instantiate a client to make requests to the API. All requests to the Google Calendar API require authorization.
The following code demonstrates how to configure an authorized service object using OAuth 2.0 for native applications. For more information, see Authorize Requests.
To find your project's client ID and client secret, do the following:
Go to the Google Developers Console.
Select a project.
In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth. In the displayed list of APIs, make sure the Google Calendar API status is set to ON.
In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials.
Find the lines labeled Client ID and Client secret. Note that there may be a client ID without a client secret, for use with Compute Engine and App Engine; in that case, create a new client ID and client secret by selecting Create New Client ID.
Edit the src/config.php file to put in your developer API information.
global $apiConfig;
$apiConfig = array(
// Site name to show in Google's OAuth authentication screen
'site_name' => 'www.example.org',
// OAuth2 Setting, you can get these keys in Google Developers Console
'oauth2_client_id' => 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
'oauth2_client_secret' => 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
'oauth2_redirect_uri' => 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URL',
// The developer key; you get this from Google Developers Console
'developer_key' => 'YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY',
...
// Which Authentication, Storage and HTTP IO classes to use.
'authClass' => 'apiOAuth2',
....
// Definition of service specific values like scopes, OAuth token URLs, etc
'services' => array(
'calendar' => array('scope' => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'),
)
);
But they are DIFFERENT from the key i have, what's wrong ????
What are client secrets ? redirect_url??
Please help.
I think you need to setup a service account access as described here:
https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/wiki/OAuth2#Service_Accounts
I had difficulties to get it work as I made many trial and errors and my cache got filled with non-working token.
If ever you find yourself not able to access the calendar even after following all the steps, try to change this line of code:
$client->setAssertionCredentials(new Google_AssertionCredentials(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME, array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/prediction'),$key));
to this:
$client->setAssertionCredentials(new Google_AssertionCredentials(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME, array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/prediction'),$key, 'notasecret','http://oauth.net/grant_type/jwt/1.0/bearer',false,false));
The last false tells AssertionCredential class to not use any cache. I did it once and then it worked with it set to true afterward.
First go here https://console.developers.google.com/project that is where you configure your app...
Click on your project, then on the left side you will see APIs & Auth, click on Credentials. You will need to create your OAuth, and Public API Access keys.
Once you have done that you will then enter those into the appropriate client_id, secret, redirect etc.
The redirect uri is the same page your app is on, its the page the user gets sent back to after authorizing.
I had the same problem.
On this page, when you click on the Create new Client Id, choose Web application and it shoudl give you the client secret key as well.
https://console.developers.google.com/project
Add a project etc.
Hope it helps
