I am using query explorer to get the API constructed in google analytics, but this comes with token. I don't know how can I get a token or authenticate so it never expires.
I am not using any app, just want when I hit browser with API I get JSON results that's it.
Please someone please help me to authenticate the API I get from query explorer in GA.
The query explorer is only a tryout platform and DOES NOT produce tokens for indefinite use.
There is a step by step setup for this:

Currently, I am using the Token Authentication Flow to connect MS Graph OneDrive API to my application. (Link to documentation) It works, yet I have to use Postman to get a new authentication token after 30min-2h (I'm not sure about the exact timeframe). I need to be able to access the OneDrive API for a longer period of time (multiple months) without having to authenticate again and again.
In the documentation, the also speak about the Code Flow (Link to Documentation). Yet I don't receive a refresh token nor do I know how to set it up for longterm access.
I wrote an application in python that uploads files from OneDrive to another application.
Any help is appreciated!
Perhaps not a direct answer but it could help you arrive to solution via another route. In my case, I was following the process presented here, which really then lets user choose if they would like be remembered on the device. Then token gets stored and the method attempts silent authentication before requiring interactive login. So basically you get to use Graph API seamlessly.
Obviously, the authentication still needs to happen but perhaps you could reuse the token for direct requests?
I am trying to find something from Google Cloud that is similar to the Interactive Spotify API Web Console. Does anyone have any ideas that requires a sign into the Google account associated with the Google Cloud? Thanks!
This is available through the API reference pages: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/apis
On every method page, there's a form you can use on the right to test it out from the browser using your Google account.
For example, take a look at this page to list your Cloud SQL instances: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/v1beta4/instances/list
I have spent the last couple of nights bashing my head against the wall amongst a see of conflicting out of date documentation and semi-helpful blog posts that were/are appropriate to what I am trying to do.
Essentially I want to write a wee personal app do download my images from PicasaWeb/Google+ and store them on my local hard disk.
I have managed to do the following:
Figured out the GData API for the appropriate request to get private album data (works fine in my 'google-logged-in' chrome browser)
Got the correct private data back from my GData URL with the token generated by the OAuth playground.
Managed to get an OAuth2 token back from https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token using JWT.
However - when I try my access token I generate myself I get back a forbidden response with the message 'Not authorized to view access private'.
I am pretty stumped - my only guess is that my service account configured in google developers console doesn't actually have access to my personal google stuff like google+ photos. When I look in there I can see the OAuth playground has access. How do I give my app access - and do I need to in this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
"my only guess is that my service account configured in google developers console doesn't actually have access to my personal google stuff".
Totally correct.
I guess I see 2-3 questions per month on SO where people have made the false assumption that a Service Account is some kind of proxy to their Google Account. It isn't. It's a completely new and independent account.
The two approaches you can take are:-
Share the items to the Service Account so it has permission to access them.
Give your app direct access to your Picassa account. See How do I authorise an app (web or installed) without user intervention? (canonical ?) for the steps involved.
I am trying to make a webpage that can display information about documents on my google drive. For example I would like to display the titles of all my google documents on a webpage. I don't want the user to have to be logged into a google account, and I don't want to have to authorize anything (or the user to authorize anything). I just want the user to be able to see what I display - in a read only format - when they navigate to the page. The user will have no chance to edit or upload or delete anything, they can just view the info I display.
Is there a way to get files from google drive (via the API or any other way) possibly without using oauth 2.0? I've looked through the api docs and even coded up the sample apps, but all of them have a step that says, "Go to this URL, click Allow, enter the code" then you get access. These steps shouldn't be necessary. I just want to download the file and be able to manipulate it (either in memory or as a stream) then display something about it.
Also, I may misunderstand how OAuth 2.0 works so if that seems like the case, any helpful information would be much appreciated. Thank you.
You don't need to authenticate your visitors into Google, but need to authenticate yourself, so your web app can retrieve data from your personal Drive.
Get an access token and refresh token for yourself, store them and autenticate your requests. If you're using one of our client libraries, most of them refresh the access tokens once they are expired. See Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications for more details and OAuth 2.0 Playground helps you to understand how to get these tokens.
Im using the Google PHP API Client http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/ to retrieve data from the google API.
Logging in thru OAuth2 and fetch user information works like a charm, but when I'm attempting to access the goole analytics api i get this 403 code error every time. Hundreds of users with the same problem forgot to activate the Google Analytics API in the service settings, or simply provided incorrect credentials (client_id & client_secret). I've tried to enable/disable the Google Analytics multiple times, and logging in/out from my google accounts, but no result.
Anyone that has any pointers for me?
(Remember, the OAuth procedure works, since I'm getting both an access_token and refresh_token)
I'm using the simple.php example in the class examples folder...
I'm working on Drive myself and understand the issue. I've been having some troubles understanding Google and their PHP api somewhat. I've finally got it to work with some clarification of examples found around the internet.
Your problem sounds like you didn't set your scope to Google analytics but, please be clear in the steps you've taken as well as the code you've tried using.
The error could be as simple as forgetting this line in your oAuth callback file:
$client->addScope(Google_Service_Analytics::ANALYTICS);
To something complex as understanding if you need a full paid account to access information from Google about your Analytics (not included as free like Google+ and Google drive).
