I have a Google Script Application that has the doGet method implemented. Also, I've deployed the application and have set up the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Project.
I have an Excel VBA Application that uses https://github.com/VBA-tools/VBA-Web. I can call the Google Apps Script URL with no problem when I use an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (The internet window opens, I choose the Google Account, grant rights, get the authorization code, and everything works well).
But, I want to use an API Key, and not use the Google login process with screen authentication. I thought that a Google Service account will work, but not sure. Any Idea?
You can create a API Key from API & Services option, then you can restrict the key just to use only Calendar API

We have two solutions, one is a website, the other is a windows service. We write our own HTTP client class to redirect the users to go through the Google OAuth process from the website and get the Google Calendar access token/refresh token. Now we want the windows service to call the Google calendar API with the .net client library and access token/refresh token.
However, it appears that in order to use the client library, we have to go through the OAuth process again. Since we already get the access token/refresh token, I wonder whether it's possible to make the client library to call the Google Calendar API directly with the access token/refresh token.
I read through their doc and it appears that there's no similar examples: https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/dotnet
Any proposals are appreciated. Thank you!
I have a site that I have tagged using Google Analytics. I can see that the stats are being created and I can analyse them using Google Analytics web tool.
I want to extract my tagging data using the Google Analytics API but all the instructions seem to point me towards the developers console to create my OAuth2 token. My site does not appear in the list of apps that is presented, so I can't do the next step of generating my OAuth2 token.
I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I am hitting brick wall at the moment. How do I get the site to appear so I can see it in the developers console?
The Google Developer console is for registering your application, this way google knows who is using there APIs. Your Google analytics account wont show up here because well that's not how it works.
Create a new project you will get a client_id and client secrete that are used to identify your application. Then you use a programming language to access the API using the client id and client secret.
I am not a java programmer so i cant help you with that. You mentioned that you want to access your own data. I recommend you look in to using a service account. A service account can be used to grant authentication without having to prompt a user for access. This only works when it is your own account you are accessing and the data doesn't belong to another user. Take the service account email address and add it as a user in google analytics at the ACCOUNT level it must be the Account level. then when you use the service account in your code you will have access.

Will I be able to use the new REST File API from a service headlessly?
For example, I want to be able to create a service where the user gives consent once, and there-after the service may perform file operations (against sharepoint online) without explicit consent for months on end without intervention.
Such a thing is possible with other OAuth type REST apis (for instance the One Drive Rest API allows for it) by storing a refresh token and using it to get a new access token.
1) Is such a thing possible with these new APIs. The comment by "JTHAKE" in response to "Tdriver" here
http://blogs.office.com/2014/05/12/net-and-javascript-libraries-for-office-365-apis/ . seems to hint that what I want isn't possible but I'm not sure why not.
The new O365 rest APIs use the Common Consent framework in order to verify that the app has permission to use the APIs. This means that a user needs to first register an app in AAD & consent to the app's data use in the browser so that the app has the correct permissions. Once the app is consented to, completing the oauth flow headlessly will get you the right token to call the APIs from a service.
I'm writing an packaged app using javascript for google chrome web store and I need to identify the users e-mail. using Identity I've retrieved OAuth 2.0 token (by chrome.identity.getAuthToken() command). What next?
I've found this documentation but i'm afraid it can be used only for hosted chrome apps.
The above documentation can be used also in cases where the application only has a client-side presence. You can extract the email_address from the id_token (https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login#obtainuserinfo); that would be most efficient. Or you can use the access_token to retrieve the same data from the user_info endpoint, which requires another AJAX request (https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login#obtaininguserprofileinformation).
If you manage to configure the G+ Sign-In widget for your extension you'll find out that it simplifies these tasks considerably. Note that G+ Sign-In has been recently updated and works for all Google account users (including Google Apps users) whether or not they have signed-up for the Google+ service. See https://developers.google.com/+/ for more information.
I've been trying to integrate my application (ruby) with a Google AppScript (published as a Web Application with access level as 'only me') on behalf of a Google Apps account for quite some time, but I can't get a handle of it. Maybe I'm missing a key concept here or that sort of authentication/authorization isn't available when making requests in the background.
The script works fine when I'm logged in to gmail and access the script endpoint. I can also successfully connect to it using a sinatra application authenticated with openid.
I've already tried to use google-api-ruby-client, but I can't get the authorization scope right (service name). I've also tried clientlogin in gdata-ruby-util, to use Gmail login/password and get an authorization error message when trying to fetch from the script url.
Is it doable? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Unfortunately, Contentservice in Apps Script (which I think you are using to create your webservice) doesn't provide any authentication mechanism. If you are accessing it from a server side script, you can use a token string which is known by your webservice app and your server to provide a level of security to your publicly accessible webservice.
