Getting posts from google plus page - api

I would like to get content (posts) from a google+ page and post it to my website, as a feed. Is there any info how?
I read that current API does not allow that, but those topics were from the last year.
Thanks.

You can perform activities.list, without having to authenticate, by passing your "simple" key from the API console for a project created that has the Google+ service turned on. Access to the API calls is restricted to the authorized origins you set up in your project.
After you create the project, in the section "Simple API Access" there is an API key. Build your client with this key, your client id, and client secret:
<?
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setDeveloperKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
$plus = new Google_PlusService($client);
$activities = $plus->activities->listActivities("+GooglePlusDevelopers", "public");
?>
<html><body><pre><? echo print_r($activities);?></pre></body></html>
A final note, make sure you use the latest Google+ PHP client.

After some time I found it.
http://code.google.com/p/google-plus-php-starter/
and this
https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/activities/list
The only problem is that you need to log into your google app to do this. Any sugggestions would be apprecited.

Updating the correct answer, the class name has changed to Google_Service_Plus
<?php
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . __DIR__ .'/vendor/google/apiclient/src');
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setDeveloperKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
$plus = new Google_Service_Plus($client);
$activities = $plus->activities->listActivities("+GooglePlusDevelopers", "public");
?>
$items = $activities->getItems();
foreach($items as $item) {
$object = $item->getObject();
?>
<div class="gpost">
<p><?php echo $object->getContent(); ?></p>

How to find user's email ID? - Google Oauth2 API PHP Client

I am implementing an Audio library manager which uses user's google drive as backend storage. I am using PHP (google-api-php-client-2.2.1) to get the user's authorization for accessing his/her google drive.
So far I am able to receive access token and refresh token using example code from google (https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/php/auth/web-app), and also tested by listing files of user's google drive.
However, I am not able to figure out programmatically which user has given authorization to my application. Just user's email address will do. I don't need any other information.
I am using the following code.
<?php
require_once 'google-api-php-client/vendor/autoload.php';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAuthConfig('client_secret.json'); //downloaded from google oauth credentials portal. It includes redirect URL
$client->setAccessType("offline"); // offline access
$client->setIncludeGrantedScopes(true); // incremental auth
$client->addScope(Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY);
if (! isset($_GET['code'])) {
//Get authorization and User consent from Google
$auth_url = $client->createAuthUrl();
header('Location: ' . filter_var($auth_url, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
} else { //Authorization completed
//Get access token
$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
$_SESSION['refresh_token'] = $client->getRefreshToken();
echo "Access Token<br>";
var_dump ($_SESSION['access_token']); //works
echo "<br>";
echo "Refresh Token<br>";
var_dump ($_SESSION['refresh_token']); //works
echo "<br>";
$service=new Google_Service_Oauth2($client);
echo "Auth2 Service created<br>"; //Getting this print
$usr_info=$service->userinfo;
echo "User Info<br>"; //Getting this print
var_dump ($usr_info); //Getting this print, Very long JSON structure. But info is mostly pertaining to my app...no user information showing here
echo "<br>";
//$usr_info_get = $usr_info->get(); //Throwing Error
//$usr_info_get = $usr_info->get(['email']); //Throwing Error
//$usr_info_get = $usr_info->get()['email']; //Throwing Error
echo "User Info Get<br>";
//var_dump ($usr_info_get);
echo "<br>";
}
?>
The class for userInfo is like this
class Google_Service_Oauth2_Resource_Userinfo extends Google_Service_Resource
{
/**
* (userinfo.get)
*
* #param array $optParams Optional parameters.
* #return Google_Service_Oauth2_Userinfoplus
*/
public function get($optParams = array())
{
$params = array();
$params = array_merge($params, $optParams);
return $this->call('get', array($params), "Google_Service_Oauth2_Userinfoplus");
}
}
The params for get() method should be optional, but
$userInfo->get()
also given me Server Error.
I am not finding anything else from my google search on this.
I tried this (6 year old thread) but code errors out (apiHttpRequest class not found)
How to identify a Google OAuth2 user?
I tried reading about openID but seems kinda complex. Also, not sure if google-api-php-client has helper class for openID.
I would really appreciate your help. Already spent 2+ days reading google api client php code but now up against the wall.

Guzzle HTTP client auth fail

I'm working on a project that need to call a API to get json response, but the Guzzle client auth is not working. It always redirect to the login page.
"nasa" is the database.
Here's my code:
<?php
require_once '../composer/vendor/autoload.php';
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$client = new Client([
'base_url' => ['http://fedview.bfountain.com/{datasource}/', ['datasource' => 'nasa']]]);
$response = $client->get('service/sbapp/goalByAgency', ['auth' => ['username', 'password']]);
echo $response->getBody();
?>
I tried:
$response = $client->get('login.do?uname=username&passcode=password');
It can log in successfully.
Can anyone help me on this? (I'm using Guzzle 5) THX!
Here is the WHY - logic of what happens I will have to leave the rest of troubleshooting for you.
1) echo $response->getBody(); // prints out the login page "It always redirect to the login page"
2) $response = $client->get('service/sbapp/goalByAgency', ['auth' => ['username', 'password']]); // your $response is a login page because you ask $client->get the login page or authenticate page
3) You need to authenticate successfully for a $client
4) Then use the $client to request data via POST method (you missed this step)
see my other post: How can I use Guzzle to send a POST request in JSON?
redo your code. you are on the right track.

Error while using REST api in magento

I have set up magento locally in my system using XAMPP
I have created a file in root directory named dm.php with the contents
<?php
/**
* Example of products list retrieve using Customer account via Magento REST API. OAuth authorization is used
*/
$callbackUrl = "http://localhost/dm.php";
$temporaryCredentialsRequestUrl = "http://localhost/mage2/oauth/initiate?oauth_callback=" . urlencode($callbackUrl);
$adminAuthorizationUrl = 'http://localhost/mage2/oauth/authorize';
$accessTokenRequestUrl = 'http://localhost/mage2/oauth/token';
$apiUrl = 'http://localhost/mage2/api/rest';
$consumerKey = 'enhksf7u33p3snubewb6zcq0z9c63bvv';
$consumerSecret = 'p7e835cdcxofokeep749jgzz4l1e306p';
session_start();
if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']) && isset($_SESSION['state']) && $_SESSION['state'] == 1) {
$_SESSION['state'] = 0;
}
try {
$authType = ($_SESSION['state'] == 2) ? OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION : OAUTH_AUTH_TYPE_URI;
$oauthClient = new OAuth($consumerKey, $consumerSecret, OAUTH_SIG_METHOD_HMACSHA1, $authType);
$oauthClient->enableDebug();
if (!isset($_GET['oauth_token']) && !$_SESSION['state']) {
$requestToken = $oauthClient->getRequestToken($temporaryCredentialsRequestUrl);
$_SESSION['secret'] = $requestToken['oauth_token_secret'];
$_SESSION['state'] = 1;
header('Location: ' . $adminAuthorizationUrl . '?oauth_token=' . $requestToken['oauth_token']);
exit;
} else if ($_SESSION['state'] == 1) {
$oauthClient->setToken($_GET['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['secret']);
$accessToken = $oauthClient->getAccessToken($accessTokenRequestUrl);
$_SESSION['state'] = 2;
$_SESSION['token'] = $accessToken['oauth_token'];
$_SESSION['secret'] = $accessToken['oauth_token_secret'];
header('Location: ' . $callbackUrl);
exit;
} else {
$oauthClient->setToken($_SESSION['token'], $_SESSION['secret']);
$resourceUrl = "$apiUrl/products";
$oauthClient->fetch($resourceUrl);
$productsList = json_decode($oauthClient->getLastResponse());
print_r($productsList);
}
} catch (OAuthException $e) {
print_r($e);
}
But this is giving me the following error
Fatal error: Class 'OAuth' not found in D:\Webserver\xampp\htdocs\dm.php on line 19
Can anybody shed some light on this
Thanks
Since oauth is not possible to install in xampp windows i changed the contents of my dm.php file to this.
<?php
$ch = curl_init('http://localhost/mage2/api/rest/customers');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$customers = curl_exec($ch);
echo $customers;
?>
Now i am getting an error like this
{"messages":{"error":[{"code":403,"message":"Access denied"}]}}
What am i doing wrong?
First of all
Go to magento admin panel System->Webservice->RESt Roles->Guest->Resources Access ->SET ALL
Similarly Go to System->Webservice->RESt Attribute->Guest->Resources Access ->SET ALL
Then Hit this url http://****/chanchal/magento/api/rest/products in web Browser and check what error it shows....
According to me it must show product in your website in xml format.
Please let me know..
EDIT:
I configured a localhost just now and got this output refer the Screenshot. Be sure there is product in your magento.
Similarly follow the above steps for admin,customer then create a Ouath consumer from admin panel , Install RESTClient For Mozilla Firefox And follow Here
These for steps are necessary for the setup..the link might help you..
Authentication Endpoints
1./oauth/initiate - this endpoint is used for retrieving the Request Token.
2./oauth/authorize - this endpoint is used for user authorization (Customer).
3./admin/oauth_authorize - this endpoint is used for user authorization (Admin).
4./oauth/token - this endpoint is used for retrieving the Access Token.
Let me know if you have any issues.
Best of luck
A bit of code modifications will easily solve this error 403 forbidden.
What magento engine does is that it uses the default guest user to provide access to the REST api methods. The guest user does not have much powers so it should be better to change this functionality of magento. There are 2 ways of doing this:
1) Quick and dirty fix: in the file /app/code/core/Mage/Api2/Model/Auth.php, change the value of: DEFAULT_USER_TYPE = 'guest' to DEFAULT_USER_TYPE = 'admin'. In the file /app/code/core/Mage/Api2/Model/Auth/Adapter.php, change this line from return (object) array('type' => Mage_Api2_Model_Auth::DEFAULT_USER_TYPE, 'id' => null); to this:
return (object) array('type' => Mage_Api2_Model_Auth::DEFAULT_USER_TYPE, 'id' => '1');
This way the authentication system will not be broken.
2) Proper and long run fix: Override the two functionalities using the magento overriding mechanism to have a better solution in accordance to magento standards. This way the core files will be intact.
We use this link to install oauth for php. Its good and easy to add extension for php.
install oauth php
I hope it helps to all and would solved 'OAuth' not found fatal error.
I had the same issue and was struggling for a week but just try insatlling new version of xammp or wamp with supports ouath.The better solution was ,I installed Ammps 1.9 and in php5.4 I resolved the extension of oauth but still make sure that you select the proper php for extension oauth is supported (php5.4)
For installing Oauth : http://www.magentocommerce.com/api/rest/authentication/oauth_authentication.html
Installing PHP Extension for Oauth :
1. Download php_oauth.dll file and add it under C:\xampp\php\ext\
2. add [PHP_OAUTH] extension=php_oauth.dll in php.ini

How to store google api (OAuth 2) permissions?

i'm using the examples provided in the "google-api-php-client"-Library (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/) to implement user login and authorization on my website with google services.
I didn't make any changes to the examples, except adding my Client-ID, etc..
The authorization itself works fine: Users can login and i can fetch the provided informations.
However, when leaving the page, the whole authorization procedure is called again; users are not remembered and need to grant permissions again, which is some kind of annoying and not typical for google-logins as i know them.
For example: On stackoverflow, i'm logged in with my google account.
Whenever i revisit this site, i'm logged in automaticly, or (if logged out) just have to log in again - i do not have to confirm the general rights again.
Using the examples on my site however, forces the user to allow access whenever the site is visited again.
Did i make any mistakes, when using the examples?
What do i have to do, to avoid the permission request over and over again?
Thanks in advance for any kind of help!
Use this code for first time to retrieve access_code and save it to database:
<?php
require 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_DriveService.php';
require 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_Oauth2Service.php';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId(CLIENT_ID);
$client->setClientSecret(CLIENT_SECRET);
$client->setRedirectUri(REDIRECT_URI);
$client->setScopes(array(
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile'));
$client->setUseObjects(true);
$service = new Google_DriveService($client);
$client->authenticate();
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
const ACCESS_TOKEN=$_SESSION['token'];
//code here to save in database
?>
Once ACCESS_TOKEN is saved in database change code to:
<?php
require 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_DriveService.php';
require 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_Oauth2Service.php';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId(CLIENT_ID);
$client->setClientSecret(CLIENT_SECRET);
$client->setRedirectUri(REDIRECT_URI);
$client->setScopes(array(
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile'));
$client->setUseObjects(true);
$service = new Google_DriveService($client);
//ACCESS_TOKEN is already saved in database, is being saved on first time login.
$_SESSION['access_token'] = ACCESS_TOKEN;
if (isset($_SESSION['access_token'])) {
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['access_token']);
}
if ($client->getAccessToken())
{
$userinfo = $service->about->get();
echo '<script>console.log('.json_encode($userinfo).');</script>';
$userinfoService = new Google_OAuth2Service($client);
$user = $userinfoService->userinfo->get();
echo '<script>console.log('.json_encode($user).');</script>';
}
?>
That works fine for me.
Based on the kaushal's answer:
<?php
require_once 'globals.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_DriveService.php';
$client = new Google_Client();
// Get your credentials from the APIs Console
$client->setClientId('YOUR_ID');
$client->setClientSecret('YOUR_SECRET');
$client->setRedirectUri('REDIRECT_URI');
$client->setScopes(array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'));
$service = new Google_DriveService($client);
$client->setUseObjects(true);
//if no token in the session
if ($_SESSION['google_token'] == '') {
//get stored token from DB
$sToken = $oDb->getOne("SELECT `google_token` FROM `users` WHERE `u_id` = " . (int)$_SESSION['user_id']);
//if no stored token in DB
if ($sToken == '') {
//autentificate user
$client->authenticate();
//get new token
$token = $client->getAccessToken();
//set token in session
$_SESSION['google_token'] = $token;
// set token in DB
$oDb->Query("UPDATE `users` SET `google_token`='$token' WHERE `u_id` = " . (int)$_SESSION['user_id']);
} else {
$_SESSION['google_token'] = $sToken;
}
}
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['google_token']);
//do what you wanna do with clients drive here
?>
The Google Drive SDK documentation includes a complete PHP sample application that you can use as a reference to get started:
https://developers.google.com/drive/examples/php
Basically, once the user is logged in and you retrieve access token and refresh token, you store those credentials in a database and reuse them instead of asking the user to authenticate every time.

Google Analytics API v3 authorization to allow access to my data

I am developing an app that allows users to see my own Google Analytics Data using Google API v3.
Everything I researched seems to indicate that users need to login into their Google accounts and grant my app the access before I can start querying the API; however, that's not what I want, I just need my users to see my own Analytics data. How can authorize the API to access my data.
I have the client ID and Client Secret, but the OAuth that's implemented by Google's API v3 is asking for an authorization token, which can only be obtained by getting the user to login into their google account (is that right?)
Is there a way to just login into my own Google Analytics account and display that information to the users?
I believe what you want to do is set up a Service Account:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtAuthorization
"Useful for automated/offline/scheduled access to Google Analytics data for your own account. For example, to build a live dashboard of your own Google Analytics data and share it with other users.
There are a few steps you need to follow to configure service accounts to work with Google Analytics:
Register a project in the APIs Console.
In the Google APIs Console, under the API Access pane, create a
client ID with the Application Type set to Service Account.
Sign-in to Google Analytics and navigate to the Admin section.
Select the account for which you want the application to have access
to.
Add the email address, from the Client ID created in the APIs
Console from step #2, as a user of the selected Google Analytics
account.
Follow the instructions for Service Accounts to access Google Analytics data: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount"
You can use a refresh token for offline access. Once you get the refresh token, you can save it to a file or database and use that to access the data without an authorization redirect.
See Using a Refresh Token in the docs.
Also see: How can we access specific Google Analytics account data using API?
Here is a full Google Analytics reporting example implementation with service account including setup notes. Just wrote it after reading your question, I had the same problem.
