Actually I'm working on a Discord Bot which uses Google Sheets as Database using GSpread API, it is hosted on Heroku. So, how to complete authentication ? My Bot is not working.
Make sure to head to Discord Developer Apps and check off PUBLIC BOT at the bottom. This is usually the case 90% of the time with problems like this.

I cannot log in to shopify through an api.
I want to build a private app with a shopify api, and I just created a laravel project and connected it to shopify through an api. I am using 'ohmybrew' and wrote my api credentials in my config. I tried to log in through an api but I get an error as follows.
Oauth error invalid_request: The Shopify API application does not support oauth
I expected to go to my dashboard but it did not work. It's my first time to work with shopify, and I am baffled as to what to do. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong.
oAuth is well established. You could probably say almost all systems with a public API support oAuth. Shopify is no different from any of them, and they all follow the same pattern. So it seems your attempt to follow that pattern is incorrect. The best thing you can do then is to look up some tutorials on how to connect to an API using oAuth, with an emphasis on your scripting language so you can have some solid code examples to follow. Once you master oAuth, you'll be able to see your dashboard.
I am starting to develop a web service and I want to enable login with google using their oAuth2. However, when I started reading the requirements I see that I need to authorize my domain and use https. I am in the very initial steps and I still don't have the domain setup and no certificate yet.
Is there any way to test google integrated into my site without all this? only for development phase?
Thank you
I’d like to use the Google Cloud App Engine to serve a SPA and a REST API, both secured behind an authentication wall.
Is there any recommended way of doing this?
So far, I’ve found tutorials on how to secure an API, but not an SPA. Both ends are served from different projects, but I’d like to have a unique authentication step.
Typical flow would be:
Before serving the SPA source code, ask for authentication
Once authenticated, serve the SPA and allow the SPA to access the API resources
Thank you!
So far I’ve reviewed the documentation, it doesn't seem like there is any specific recommended way to authenticate an SPA within Google Cloud.
However, I think a pretty secure way would be to authenticate your application using the Toolkit Identity API of Google. The procedure would be to call this API from App Engine as the first necessary requirement.
This method works with Oauth2 access tokens. I think you could request for authentication credentials to your users before launching your application and granting access to the other resources/APIs.
I come in order to have some information about Google API and particularly the authentication "Service account"
I have the same problem that this guy is having, and although that concerns another API, he explains the problem very well.
For a few days now I have already read some articles:
Google dev
DrEdit for .Net
C# sample
I have already registered for a Google API account and I am using the Client Key and Secret that was provided to me. I then downloaded the following libraries:
google-api-dotnet-client-1.2.4737-beta.source.zip
youtube-api-samples
google-youtube-v3-rev35-csharp-1.2.0-beta
Nothing has helped me so far...
I would like to know if Picasa web and the Youtube API v2 or v3 can use oAuth2.0 Service account as I am not able to find anything about that. I am currently using Picasa Web oAuthv1.0 and I found it really easy to use but I would like to migrate to Google Youtube API v3/Picasa web API.
The basic workflow idea:
Private Pictures and videos are created specifically for a web site.
Users will log into the site (it isn't a Google users) and see pictures and videos -> All users that successfully log into the site have access to all youtube videos and picasa pictures and this medias are private in Google
The only example I've found anywhere that shows how to use authentication was in a ASP.NET MVC project that unfortunately requires user interaction and i don't want that.
Can someone please me on this? Does anyone has a piece of code written in Javascript or C# for connecting to the API with Service account or is it better for now to authenticate with oAuthv1.0? Any help will be highly appreciated!!
Take a look in Which Google APIs can be accessed with service account authorization? it contains a list of all APIs which support service account.
As far as I know, Picasa and Youtube don't support service account.
Based on the article posted by peleyal, it is my intepretation that YouTube should support the service account. In the answer on the related article, it states "All Google APIs that supports OAuth 2.0 should work with Service Accounts".
Assuming YouTube is a Google API, it also should work.
I'm not 100% confident in that answer unfortunately, because I have seen documentation elsewhere that says Service Accounts: "Several Google APIs act on behalf of an application and do not access user information." https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#serviceaccount
Does accessing the YouTube APIs constitute "user information"? The answer to that question is the reason I'm not 100% confident without trying it. An expensive time proposition.
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.
