dependent on where the error happens.

Missing Required OAuth Parameters

If you forget to set the required OAuth parameters, such as the client_id or
scope, you’ll see an error message like below in your browser’s JavaScript
Console.

JavaScript Console Errors

Fix OAuth Configuration Errors

Changes in the Google APIs console
may be required to resolve some errors.

  • Creates a client ID
    if not yet.
  • For popup UX, add all domains that may trigger the current flow to
    Authorized JavaScript origins.
  • For redirect UX, add all URLs that may receive authorization responses to
    Authorized redirect URIs.
  • Properly configure your OAuth Consent screen.
  • Submit your app for verification
    if needed.
  • You might need to take additional steps to comply with Google’s OAuth 2.0 Policies.

Invalid OAuth Parameter Values

If you set the invalid values to OAuth parameters, such as the invalid client id
, scope identifiers, or response type values, you’ll see the OAuth error page.

OAuth Errors

OAuth Error Responses

OAuth may return an error response, in which case your
callback
function will be triggered with the error response as the parameter.
The following is an example OAuth error response.

  {
    "error":"access_denied"
  }

Some examples are listed as below.

  1. The user denies the OAuth request.
  2. For an OAuth request with prompt=none
    parameter, the user is not already authenticated and has not pre-configured
    consent for the requested scopes.

The example below shows how to handle the success and error OAuth responses.

function myCallback(response) {
  if (response.error) {
    // Handle error response
    ... ...
  } else if (response.code) {
    // Handle success code response
    ... ...
  }
}

Non-OAuth Errors

OAuth doesn’t define the behaviors when:

  1. the popup window fails to open.
  2. the popup window is closed before an OAuth response is returned.

This library captures these errors, and triggers the
error_callback
if set. Be sure to check the error type like below. Otherwise, your code logic
may be affected when this library support new error types later.

function myErrorCallback(err) {
  if (err.type == 'popup_failed_to_open') {
    // The popup window is failed to open
    ... ...
  } else if (err.type == 'popup_closed') {
    // The popup window is closed before an OAuth response is returned
    ... ...
  }
}

const client = google.accounts.oauth2.initCodeClient({
  client_id: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID',
  scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly',
  ux_mode: 'popup',
  callback: myCallback,
  error_callback: myErrorCallback
});

During the authorization process, Google OAuth may return an error. Use this
guide to troubleshoot the most common errors during this process.

Troubleshooting

To learn more about Google OAuth, see Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Google
APIs.

Access denied

If you’ve set up your OAuth consent screen in GCP and
the User type is External, you will get an «Access denied» error if you
attempt to account link with a Google account that is not listed as a test user
for your app. Make sure to add the Google account to the Test users section
in your OAuth consent screen.

Partner Connections Manager (PCM) error

For help with any errors encountered when accessing
PCM, see
Partner Connections Manager (PCM)
Error Reference.

Google hasn’t verified this app

The SDM API uses a restricted scope, which means that any
apps that use this scope during authorization will be «unverified» unless
OAuth API Verification is completed. When using Device Access for
personal use, OAuth API Verification is not required.

You may see a «Google hasn’t verified this app» screen during the authorization
process, which appears if the sdm.service scope is not configured on
your OAuth consent screen in GCP. This screen can be
bypassed by clicking the Advanced option and then clicking Go to Project
Name
(unsafe)
.

See Unverified app
screen
for more information.

Invalid client

When attempting to get an access or refresh token, you will get an «Invalid
client» error if you provide an incorrect OAuth 2.0 Client Secret. Make sure the
client_secret value you’re using in access and refresh token calls is the one
for the OAuth 2.0 Client ID being used, as found in your
GCP
Credentials
page.

Invalid request, missing required scope

After granting permissions in PCM, you might run into a
«Invalid request» error of «Missing required parameter: scope». Make sure the
scope value you’re using in authorization calls is the same as the one you set for the OAuth 2.0 Client,
as found in your GCP
Credentials
page.

Redirect uri mismatch

When going through authorization, you might run into a «Redirect uri mismatch»
error. Make sure the redirect_uri value you’re using in authorization calls is
the same as the one you set for the OAuth 2.0 Client, as found in your
GCP
Credentials
page.

Quick reference

Use this reference to quickly implement the steps to authorize a
user and link their Google account
.

To use this quick reference, edit each placeholder variable in the code samples
with the values for your specific integration, and copy and paste as needed:

1 PCM

Direct the user to the PCM link in your
app, replacing:

  1. project-id with your Device Access Project ID
  2. oauth2-client-id with the OAuth2 Client ID from your
    Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
    Credentials
  3. redirect-uri with a Redirect URI specified for the
    OAuth2 Client ID you are using
  4. scope with one of your available
    scopes
https://nestservices.google.com/partnerconnections/project-id/auth?redirect_uri=redirect-uri&access_type=offline&prompt=consent&client_id=oauth2-client-id&response_type=code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/scope

2 Auth Code

After granting permissions through PCM for
your selected scope, the user should be redirected to your specified Redirect
URI. The Authorization Code is returned as the code parameter in the URL,
which should be in this format:

redirect-uri?code=authorization-code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/scope

3 Access Token

Use the authorization code to retrieve an access token, that
you can use to call the SDM API on
behalf of the user.

Make a POST call to Google’s OAuth
endpoint, replacing:

  1. oauth2-client-id and oauth2-client-secret
    with the OAuth2 Client ID and Client Secret from your
    GCP
    Credentials
  2. authorization-code with the code you received in the previous step
  3. redirect-uri with a Redirect URI specified for the
    OAuth2 Client ID you are using

Google OAuth returns two tokens, an access token and a
refresh token.

Request

curl -L -X POST 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token?client_id=oauth2-client-id&client_secret=oauth2-client-secret&code=authorization-code&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=redirect-uri'

Response

{
  "access_token": "access-token",
  "expires_in": 3599,
  "refresh_token": "refresh-token",
  "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/scope",
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

4 API Call

Authorization is not complete until you make
an API call with the user’s access token. This
initial call finishes the authorization process and enables events.

You must use one of the
API calls listed for the specified scope to complete authorization.

sdm.service

devices

See the
devices.list
API reference for more information.

curl -X GET 'https://smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/enterprises/project-id/devices' 
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' 
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer access-token'

5 Refresh Token

Access tokens for the SDM API are only
valid for 1 hour, as noted in the expires_in parameter returned by Google OAuth. If
your access token expires, use the refresh token to get a new one.

Make a POST call to Google’s OAuth
endpoint, replacing:

  1. oauth2-client-id and oauth2-client-secret
    with the OAuth2 Client ID and Client Secret from your
    GCP
    Credentials
  2. refresh-token with the code you received when initially getting the access
    token.

Google OAuth returns a new access token.

Request

curl -L -X POST 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token?client_id=oauth2-client-id&client_secret=oauth2-client-secret&refresh_token=refresh-token&grant_type=refresh_token'

Response

{
  "access_token": "new-access-token",
  "expires_in": 3599,
  "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/scope",
  "token_type": "Bearer"
}

This document explains how web server applications use Google API Client Libraries or Google
OAuth 2.0 endpoints to implement OAuth 2.0 authorization to access
Google APIs.

OAuth 2.0 allows users to share specific data with an application while keeping their
usernames, passwords, and other information private.
For example, an application can use OAuth 2.0 to obtain permission from
users to store files in their Google Drives.

This OAuth 2.0 flow is specifically for user authorization. It is designed for applications
that can store confidential information and maintain state. A properly authorized web server
application can access an API while the user interacts with the application or after the user
has left the application.

Web server applications frequently also use
service accounts to authorize API requests, particularly when calling Cloud APIs to access
project-based data rather than user-specific data. Web server applications can use service
accounts in conjunction with user authorization.

Client libraries

The language-specific examples on this page use
Google API Client Libraries to implement
OAuth 2.0 authorization. To run the code samples, you must first install the
client library for your language.

When you use a Google API Client Library to handle your application’s OAuth 2.0 flow, the client
library performs many actions that the application would otherwise need to handle on its own. For
example, it determines when the application can use or refresh stored access tokens as well as
when the application must reacquire consent. The client library also generates correct redirect
URLs and helps to implement redirect handlers that exchange authorization codes for access tokens.

Google API Client Libraries for server-side applications are available for the following languages:

  • Go
  • Java
  • .NET
  • Node.js
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Ruby

Prerequisites

Enable APIs for your project

Any application that calls Google APIs needs to enable those APIs in the
API Console.

To enable an API for your project:

  1. Open the API Library in the
    Google API Console.
  2. If prompted, select a project, or create a new one.
  3. The API Library lists all available APIs, grouped by product
    family and popularity. If the API you want to enable isn’t visible in the list, use search to
    find it, or click View All in the product family it belongs to.
  4. Select the API you want to enable, then click the Enable button.
  5. If prompted, enable billing.
  6. If prompted, read and accept the API’s Terms of Service.

Create authorization credentials

Any application that uses OAuth 2.0 to access Google APIs must have authorization credentials
that identify the application to Google’s OAuth 2.0 server. The following steps explain how to
create credentials for your project. Your applications can then use the credentials to access APIs
that you have enabled for that project.

  1. Go to the Credentials page.
  2. Click Create credentials > OAuth client ID.
  3. Select the Web application application type.
  4. Fill in the form and click Create. Applications that use languages and frameworks
    like PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, and .NET must specify authorized redirect URIs. The
    redirect URIs are the endpoints to which the OAuth 2.0 server can send responses. These
    endpoints must adhere to Google’s validation rules.

    For testing, you can specify URIs that refer to the local machine, such as
    http://localhost:8080. With that in mind, please note that all of the
    examples in this document use http://localhost:8080 as the redirect URI.

    We recommend that you design your app’s auth endpoints so
    that your application does not expose authorization codes to other resources on the
    page.

After creating your credentials, download the client_secret.json file from the
API Console. Securely store the file in a location that only
your application can access.

Identify access scopes

Scopes enable your application to only request access to the resources that it needs while also
enabling users to control the amount of access that they grant to your application. Thus, there
may be an inverse relationship between the number of scopes requested and the likelihood of
obtaining user consent.

Before you start implementing OAuth 2.0 authorization, we recommend that you identify the scopes
that your app will need permission to access.

We also recommend that your application request access to authorization scopes via an
incremental authorization process, in which your application
requests access to user data in context. This best practice helps users to more easily understand
why your application needs the access it is requesting.

The OAuth 2.0 API Scopes document contains a full
list of scopes that you might use to access Google APIs.

Obtaining OAuth 2.0 access tokens

The following steps show how your application interacts with Google’s OAuth 2.0 server to obtain
a user’s consent to perform an API request on the user’s behalf. Your application must have that
consent before it can execute a Google API request that requires user authorization.

The list below quickly summarizes these steps:

  1. Your application identifies the permissions it needs.
  2. Your application redirects the user to Google along with the list of requested
    permissions.
  3. The user decides whether to grant the permissions to your application.
  4. Your application finds out what the user decided.
  5. If the user granted the requested permissions, your application retrieves tokens needed to
    make API requests on the user’s behalf.

Step 1: Set authorization parameters

Your first step is to create the authorization request. That request sets parameters that
identify your application and define the permissions that the user will be asked to grant to
your application.

  • If you use a Google client library for OAuth 2.0 authentication and authorization, you
    create and configure an object that defines these parameters.
  • If you call the Google OAuth 2.0 endpoint directly, you’ll generate a URL and set the
    parameters on that URL.

The tabs below define the supported authorization parameters for web server applications. The
language-specific examples also show how to use a client library or authorization library to
configure an object that sets those parameters.

PHP

The code snippet below creates a GoogleClient() object, which defines the
parameters in the authorization request.

That object uses information from your client_secret.json file to identify your
application. (See creating authorization credentials for more about
that file.) The object also identifies the scopes that your application is requesting permission
to access and the URL to your application’s auth endpoint, which will handle the response from
Google’s OAuth 2.0 server. Finally, the code sets the optional access_type and
include_granted_scopes parameters.

For example, this code requests read-only, offline access to a user’s
Google Drive:

$client = new GoogleClient();
$client->setAuthConfig('client_secret.json');
$client->addScope(GoogleServiceDrive::DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY);
$client->setRedirectUri('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/oauth2callback.php');
// offline access will give you both an access and refresh token so that
// your app can refresh the access token without user interaction.
$client->setAccessType('offline');
// Using "consent" ensures that your application always receives a refresh token.
// If you are not using offline access, you can omit this.
$client->setApprovalPrompt('consent');
$client->setIncludeGrantedScopes(true);   // incremental auth

The request specifies the following information:

Parameters
client_id Required

The client ID for your application. You can find this value in the
API Console
Credentials page.

In PHP, call the setAuthConfig function to load authorization credentials
from a client_secret.json file.

$client = new GoogleClient();
$client->setAuthConfig('client_secret.json');
redirect_uri Required

Determines where the API server redirects the user after the user completes the
authorization flow. The value must exactly match one of the authorized redirect URIs for
the OAuth 2.0 client, which you configured in your client’s
API Console
Credentials page. If this value doesn’t match an
authorized redirect URI for the provided client_id you will get a
redirect_uri_mismatch error.

Note that the http or https scheme, case, and trailing slash
(‘/‘) must all match.

To set this value in PHP, call the setRedirectUri function. Note that you
must specify a valid redirect URI for the provided client_id.

$client->setRedirectUri('https://oauth2.example.com/code');
scope Required

A
space-delimited
list of scopes that identify the resources that your application could access on the
user’s behalf. These values inform the consent screen that Google displays to the
user.

Scopes enable your application to only request access to the resources that it needs
while also enabling users to control the amount of access that they grant to your
application. Thus, there is an inverse relationship between the number of scopes requested
and the likelihood of obtaining user consent.

To set this value in PHP, call the addScope function:

$client->addScope(GoogleServiceDrive::DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY);

We recommend that your application request access to authorization scopes in context
whenever possible. By requesting access to user data in context, via
incremental authorization, you help users to more easily
understand why your application needs the access it is requesting.

access_type Recommended

Indicates whether your application can refresh access tokens when the user is not present
at the browser. Valid parameter values are online, which is the default
value, and offline.

Set the value to offline if your application needs to refresh access tokens
when the user is not present at the browser. This is the method of refreshing access
tokens described later in this document. This value instructs the Google authorization
server to return a refresh token and an access token the first time that your
application exchanges an authorization code for tokens.

To set this value in PHP, call the setAccessType function:

$client->setAccessType('offline');
state Recommended

Specifies any string value that your application uses to maintain state between your
authorization request and the authorization server’s response.
The server returns the exact value that you send as a name=value pair in the
URL query component (?) of the
redirect_uri after the user consents to or denies your application’s
access request.

You can use this parameter for several purposes, such as directing the user to the
correct resource in your application, sending nonces, and mitigating cross-site request
forgery. Since your redirect_uri can be guessed, using a state
value can increase your assurance that an incoming connection is the result of an
authentication request. If you generate a random string or encode the hash of a cookie or
another value that captures the client’s state, you can validate the response to
additionally ensure that the request and response originated in the same browser,
providing protection against attacks such as cross-site request forgery. See the
OpenID Connect
documentation for an example of how to create and confirm a state token.

To set this value in PHP, call the setState function:

$client->setState($sample_passthrough_value);
include_granted_scopes Optional

Enables applications to use incremental authorization to request access to additional
scopes in context. If you set this parameter’s value to true and the
authorization request is granted, then the new access token will also cover any scopes to
which the user previously granted the application access. See the
incremental authorization section for examples.

To set this value in PHP, call the setIncludeGrantedScopes function:

$client->setIncludeGrantedScopes(true);
login_hint Optional

If your application knows which user is trying to authenticate, it can use this parameter
to provide a hint to the Google Authentication Server. The server uses the hint to
simplify the login flow either by prefilling the email field in the sign-in form or by
selecting the appropriate multi-login session.

Set the parameter value to an email address or sub identifier, which is
equivalent to the user’s Google ID.

To set this value in PHP, call the setLoginHint function:

$client->setLoginHint('None');
prompt Optional

A space-delimited, case-sensitive list of prompts to present the user. If you don’t
specify this parameter, the user will be prompted only the first time your project
requests access. See
Prompting re-consent for more information.

To set this value in PHP, call the setApprovalPrompt function:

$client->setApprovalPrompt('consent');

Possible values are:

none Do not display any authentication or consent screens. Must not be specified with
other values.
consent Prompt the user for consent.
select_account Prompt the user to select an account.

Python

The following code snippet uses the google-auth-oauthlib.flow module to construct
the authorization request.

The code constructs a Flow object, which identifies your application using
information from the client_secret.json file that you downloaded after
creating authorization credentials. That object also identifies the
scopes that your application is requesting permission to access and the URL to your application’s
auth endpoint, which will handle the response from Google’s OAuth 2.0 server. Finally, the code
sets the optional access_type and include_granted_scopes parameters.

For example, this code requests read-only, offline access to a user’s
Google Drive:

import google.oauth2.credentials
import google_auth_oauthlib.flow

# Use the client_secret.json file to identify the application requesting
# authorization. The client ID (from that file) and access scopes are required.
flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.Flow.from_client_secrets_file(
    'client_secret.json',
    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly'])

# Indicate where the API server will redirect the user after the user completes
# the authorization flow. The redirect URI is required. The value must exactly
# match one of the authorized redirect URIs for the OAuth 2.0 client, which you
# configured in the API Console. If this value doesn't match an authorized URI,
# you will get a 'redirect_uri_mismatch' error.
flow.redirect_uri = 'https://www.example.com/oauth2callback'

# Generate URL for request to Google's OAuth 2.0 server.
# Use kwargs to set optional request parameters.
authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
    # Enable offline access so that you can refresh an access token without
    # re-prompting the user for permission. Recommended for web server apps.
    access_type='offline',
    # Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
    include_granted_scopes='true')

The request specifies the following information:

Parameters
client_id Required

The client ID for your application. You can find this value in the
API Console
Credentials page.

In Python, call the from_client_secrets_file method to retrieve the
client ID from a client_secret.json file. (You can also use the
from_client_config method, which passes the client configuration as it
originally appeared in a client secrets file but doesn’t access the file itself.)

flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.Flow.from_client_secrets_file(
    'client_secret.json',
    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly'])
redirect_uri Required

Determines where the API server redirects the user after the user completes the
authorization flow. The value must exactly match one of the authorized redirect URIs for
the OAuth 2.0 client, which you configured in your client’s
API Console
Credentials page. If this value doesn’t match an
authorized redirect URI for the provided client_id you will get a
redirect_uri_mismatch error.

Note that the http or https scheme, case, and trailing slash
(‘/‘) must all match.

To set this value in Python, set the flow object’s
redirect_uri property:

flow.redirect_uri = 'https://oauth2.example.com/code'
scope Required

A

list of scopes that identify the resources that your application could access on the
user’s behalf. These values inform the consent screen that Google displays to the
user.

Scopes enable your application to only request access to the resources that it needs
while also enabling users to control the amount of access that they grant to your
application. Thus, there is an inverse relationship between the number of scopes requested
and the likelihood of obtaining user consent.

In Python, use the same method you use to set the
client_id to specify the list of scopes.

flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.Flow.from_client_secrets_file(
    'client_secret.json',
    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly'])

We recommend that your application request access to authorization scopes in context
whenever possible. By requesting access to user data in context, via
incremental authorization, you help users to more easily
understand why your application needs the access it is requesting.

access_type Recommended

Indicates whether your application can refresh access tokens when the user is not present
at the browser. Valid parameter values are online, which is the default
value, and offline.

Set the value to offline if your application needs to refresh access tokens
when the user is not present at the browser. This is the method of refreshing access
tokens described later in this document. This value instructs the Google authorization
server to return a refresh token and an access token the first time that your
application exchanges an authorization code for tokens.

In Python, set the access_type parameter by specifying
access_type as a keyword argument when calling the
flow.authorization_url method:

authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
    access_type='offline',
    include_granted_scopes='true')
state Recommended

Specifies any string value that your application uses to maintain state between your
authorization request and the authorization server’s response.
The server returns the exact value that you send as a name=value pair in the
URL query component (?) of the
redirect_uri after the user consents to or denies your application’s
access request.

You can use this parameter for several purposes, such as directing the user to the
correct resource in your application, sending nonces, and mitigating cross-site request
forgery. Since your redirect_uri can be guessed, using a state
value can increase your assurance that an incoming connection is the result of an
authentication request. If you generate a random string or encode the hash of a cookie or
another value that captures the client’s state, you can validate the response to
additionally ensure that the request and response originated in the same browser,
providing protection against attacks such as cross-site request forgery. See the
OpenID Connect
documentation for an example of how to create and confirm a state token.

In Python, set the state parameter by specifying state as a
keyword argument when calling the flow.authorization_url method:

authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
    access_type='offline',
    state=sample_passthrough_value,
    include_granted_scopes='true')
include_granted_scopes Optional

Enables applications to use incremental authorization to request access to additional
scopes in context. If you set this parameter’s value to true and the
authorization request is granted, then the new access token will also cover any scopes to
which the user previously granted the application access. See the
incremental authorization section for examples.

In Python, set the include_granted_scopes parameter by specifying
include_granted_scopes as a keyword argument when calling the
flow.authorization_url method:

authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
    access_type='offline',
    include_granted_scopes='true')
login_hint Optional

If your application knows which user is trying to authenticate, it can use this parameter
to provide a hint to the Google Authentication Server. The server uses the hint to
simplify the login flow either by prefilling the email field in the sign-in form or by
selecting the appropriate multi-login session.

Set the parameter value to an email address or sub identifier, which is
equivalent to the user’s Google ID.

In Python, set the login_hint parameter by specifying
login_hint as a keyword argument when calling the
flow.authorization_url method:

authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
    access_type='offline',
    login_hint='None',
    include_granted_scopes='true')
prompt Optional

A space-delimited, case-sensitive list of prompts to present the user. If you don’t
specify this parameter, the user will be prompted only the first time your project
requests access. See
Prompting re-consent for more information.

In Python, set the prompt parameter by specifying prompt as a
keyword argument when calling the flow.authorization_url method:

authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
      access_type='offline',
      prompt='consent',
      include_granted_scopes='true')

Possible values are:

none Do not display any authentication or consent screens. Must not be specified with
other values.
consent Prompt the user for consent.
select_account Prompt the user to select an account.

Ruby

Use the client_secrets.json file that you created to configure a client object in your
application. When you configure a client object, you specify the scopes your application needs to
access, along with the URL to your application’s auth endpoint, which will handle the response
from the OAuth 2.0 server.

For example, this code requests read-only, offline access to a user’s
Google Drive:

require 'google/apis/drive_v2'
require 'google/api_client/client_secrets'

client_secrets = Google::APIClient::ClientSecrets.load
auth_client = client_secrets.to_authorization
auth_client.update!(
  :scope => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly',
  :redirect_uri => 'http://www.example.com/oauth2callback',
  :additional_parameters => {
    "access_type" => "offline",         # offline access
    "include_granted_scopes" => "true"  # incremental auth
  }
)

Your application uses the client object to perform OAuth 2.0 operations, such as generating
authorization request URLs and applying access tokens to HTTP requests.

Node.js

The code snippet below creates a google.auth.OAuth2 object, which defines the
parameters in the authorization request.

That object uses information from your client_secret.json file to identify your application.
To ask for permissions from a user to retrieve an access token, you redirect them to a consent page.
To create a consent page URL:

const {google} = require('googleapis');

/**
 * To use OAuth2 authentication, we need access to a CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, AND REDIRECT_URI
 * from the client_secret.json file. To get these credentials for your application, visit
 * https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials.
 */
const oauth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2(
  YOUR_CLIENT_ID,
  YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET,
  YOUR_REDIRECT_URL
);

// Access scopes for read-only Drive activity.
const scopes = [
  'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly'
];

// Generate a url that asks permissions for the Drive activity scope
const authorizationUrl = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
  // 'online' (default) or 'offline' (gets refresh_token)
  access_type: 'offline',
  /** Pass in the scopes array defined above.
    * Alternatively, if only one scope is needed, you can pass a scope URL as a string */
  scope: scopes,
  // Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
  include_granted_scopes: true
});

Important Note — The refresh_token is only returned on the first
authorization. More details

here.

HTTP/REST

Google’s OAuth 2.0 endpoint is at https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth. This
endpoint is accessible only over HTTPS. Plain HTTP connections are refused.

The Google authorization server supports the following query string parameters for web
server applications:

Parameters
client_id Required

The client ID for your application. You can find this value in the
API Console
Credentials page.

redirect_uri Required

Determines where the API server redirects the user after the user completes the
authorization flow. The value must exactly match one of the authorized redirect URIs for
the OAuth 2.0 client, which you configured in your client’s
API Console
Credentials page. If this value doesn’t match an
authorized redirect URI for the provided client_id you will get a
redirect_uri_mismatch error.

Note that the http or https scheme, case, and trailing slash
(‘/‘) must all match.

response_type Required

Determines whether the Google OAuth 2.0 endpoint returns an authorization code.

Set the parameter value to code for web server applications.

scope Required

A
space-delimited
list of scopes that identify the resources that your application could access on the
user’s behalf. These values inform the consent screen that Google displays to the
user.

Scopes enable your application to only request access to the resources that it needs
while also enabling users to control the amount of access that they grant to your
application. Thus, there is an inverse relationship between the number of scopes requested
and the likelihood of obtaining user consent.

We recommend that your application request access to authorization scopes in context
whenever possible. By requesting access to user data in context, via
incremental authorization, you help users to more easily
understand why your application needs the access it is requesting.

access_type Recommended

Indicates whether your application can refresh access tokens when the user is not present
at the browser. Valid parameter values are online, which is the default
value, and offline.

Set the value to offline if your application needs to refresh access tokens
when the user is not present at the browser. This is the method of refreshing access
tokens described later in this document. This value instructs the Google authorization
server to return a refresh token and an access token the first time that your
application exchanges an authorization code for tokens.

state Recommended

Specifies any string value that your application uses to maintain state between your
authorization request and the authorization server’s response.
The server returns the exact value that you send as a name=value pair in the
URL query component (?) of the
redirect_uri after the user consents to or denies your application’s
access request.

You can use this parameter for several purposes, such as directing the user to the
correct resource in your application, sending nonces, and mitigating cross-site request
forgery. Since your redirect_uri can be guessed, using a state
value can increase your assurance that an incoming connection is the result of an
authentication request. If you generate a random string or encode the hash of a cookie or
another value that captures the client’s state, you can validate the response to
additionally ensure that the request and response originated in the same browser,
providing protection against attacks such as cross-site request forgery. See the
OpenID Connect
documentation for an example of how to create and confirm a state token.

include_granted_scopes Optional

Enables applications to use incremental authorization to request access to additional
scopes in context. If you set this parameter’s value to true and the
authorization request is granted, then the new access token will also cover any scopes to
which the user previously granted the application access. See the
incremental authorization section for examples.

login_hint Optional

If your application knows which user is trying to authenticate, it can use this parameter
to provide a hint to the Google Authentication Server. The server uses the hint to
simplify the login flow either by prefilling the email field in the sign-in form or by
selecting the appropriate multi-login session.

Set the parameter value to an email address or sub identifier, which is
equivalent to the user’s Google ID.

prompt Optional

A space-delimited, case-sensitive list of prompts to present the user. If you don’t
specify this parameter, the user will be prompted only the first time your project
requests access. See
Prompting re-consent for more information.

Possible values are:

none Do not display any authentication or consent screens. Must not be specified with
other values.
consent Prompt the user for consent.
select_account Prompt the user to select an account.

Step 2: Redirect to Google’s OAuth 2.0 server

Redirect the user to Google’s OAuth 2.0 server to initiate the authentication and
authorization process. Typically, this occurs when your application first needs to access the
user’s data. In the case of incremental authorization, this
step also occurs when your application first needs to access additional resources that it does
not yet have permission to access.

PHP

  1. Generate a URL to request access from Google’s OAuth 2.0 server:
    $auth_url = $client->createAuthUrl();
  2. Redirect the user to $auth_url:
    header('Location: ' . filter_var($auth_url, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));

Python

This example shows how to redirect the user to the authorization URL using the Flask web
application framework:

return flask.redirect(authorization_url)

Ruby

  1. Generate a URL to request access from Google’s OAuth 2.0 server:
    auth_uri = auth_client.authorization_uri.to_s
  2. Redirect the user to auth_uri.

Node.js

  1. Use the generated URL authorizationUrl from Step 1
    generateAuthUrl method to request access from Google’s OAuth 2.0 server.
  2. Redirect the user to authorizationUrl.

    res.writeHead(301, { "Location": authorizationUrl });

HTTP/REST

An example URL is shown below, with line breaks and spaces for readability.

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?
 scope=https%3A//www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly&
 access_type=offline&
 include_granted_scopes=true&
 response_type=code&
 state=state_parameter_passthrough_value&
 redirect_uri=https%3A//oauth2.example.com/code&
 client_id=client_id

After you create the request URL, redirect the user to it.

Google’s OAuth 2.0 server authenticates the user and obtains consent from the user for your
application to access the requested scopes. The response is sent back to your application
using the redirect URL you specified.

Step 3: Google prompts user for consent

In this step, the user decides whether to grant your application the requested access. At this
stage, Google displays a consent window that shows the name of your application and the Google API
services that it is requesting permission to access with the user’s authorization credentials and
a summary of the scopes of access to be granted. The
user can then consent to grant access to one or more scopes requested by your application or
refuse the request.

Your application doesn’t need to do anything at this stage as it waits for the response from
Google’s OAuth 2.0 server indicating whether any access was granted. That response is explained in
the following step.

Errors

Requests to Google’s OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint may display user-facing error messages
instead of the expected authentication and authorization flows. Common error codes and suggested
resolutions are listed below.

admin_policy_enforced

The Google Account is unable to authorize one or more scopes requested due to the policies of
their Google Workspace administrator. See the Google Workspace Admin help article

Control which third-party & internal apps access Google Workspace data
for more information about how an administrator may restrict access to all scopes or sensitive and
restricted scopes until access is explicitly granted to your OAuth client ID.

disallowed_useragent

The authorization endpoint is displayed inside an embedded user-agent disallowed by Google’s
OAuth 2.0 Policies.

Android

Android developers may encounter this error message when opening authorization requests in
android.webkit.WebView.
Developers should instead use Android libraries such as
Google Sign-In for Android or OpenID Foundation’s
AppAuth for Android.

Web developers may encounter this error when an Android app opens a general web link in an
embedded user-agent and a user navigates to Google’s OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint from
your site. Developers should allow general links to open in the default link handler of the
operating system, which includes both
Android App Links
handlers or the default browser app. The
Android Custom Tabs
library is also a supported option.

iOS

iOS and macOS developers may encounter this error when opening authorization requests in
WKWebView.
Developers should instead use iOS libraries such as
Google Sign-In for iOS or OpenID Foundation’s
AppAuth for iOS.

Web developers may encounter this error when an iOS or macOS app opens a general web link in
an embedded user-agent and a user navigates to Google’s OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint from
your site. Developers should allow general links to open in the default link handler of the
operating system, which includes both
Universal Links
handlers or the default browser app. The
SFSafariViewController
library is also a supported option.

org_internal

The OAuth client ID in the request is part of a project limiting access to Google Accounts in a
specific

Google Cloud Organization.
For more information about this configuration option see the
User type
section in the Setting up your OAuth consent screen help article.

redirect_uri_mismatch

The redirect_uri passed in the authorization request does not match an authorized
redirect URI for the OAuth client ID. Review authorized redirect URIs in the
Google API Console Credentials page.

Step 4: Handle the OAuth 2.0 server response

The OAuth 2.0 server responds to your application’s access request by using the URL specified
in the request.

If the user approves the access request, then the response contains an authorization code. If
the user does not approve the request, the response contains an error message. The
authorization code or error message that is returned to the web server appears on the query
string, as shown below:

An error response:

https://oauth2.example.com/auth?error=access_denied

An authorization code response:

https://oauth2.example.com/auth?code=4/P7q7W91a-oMsCeLvIaQm6bTrgtp7

Sample OAuth 2.0 server response

You can test this flow by clicking on the following sample URL, which requests
read-only access to view metadata for files in your Google Drive:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?
 scope=https%3A//www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly&
 access_type=offline&
 include_granted_scopes=true&
 response_type=code&
 state=state_parameter_passthrough_value&
 redirect_uri=https%3A//oauth2.example.com/code&
 client_id=client_id

After completing the OAuth 2.0 flow, you should be redirected to
http://localhost/oauth2callback, which will likely yield a
404 NOT FOUND error unless your local machine serves a file at that address. The
next step provides more detail about the information returned in the URI when the user is
redirected back to your application.

Step 5: Exchange authorization code for refresh and access
tokens

After the web server receives the authorization code, it can exchange the authorization code
for an access token.

PHP

To exchange an authorization code for an access token, use the authenticate
method:

$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);

You can retrieve the access token with the getAccessToken method:

$access_token = $client->getAccessToken();

Python

On your callback page, use the google-auth library to verify the authorization
server response. Then, use the flow.fetch_token method to exchange the authorization
code in that response for an access token:

state = flask.session['state']
flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.Flow.from_client_secrets_file(
    'client_secret.json',
    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly'],
    state=state)
flow.redirect_uri = flask.url_for('oauth2callback', _external=True)

authorization_response = flask.request.url
flow.fetch_token(authorization_response=authorization_response)

# Store the credentials in the session.
# ACTION ITEM for developers:
#     Store user's access and refresh tokens in your data store if
#     incorporating this code into your real app.
credentials = flow.credentials
flask.session['credentials'] = {
    'token': credentials.token,
    'refresh_token': credentials.refresh_token,
    'token_uri': credentials.token_uri,
    'client_id': credentials.client_id,
    'client_secret': credentials.client_secret,
    'scopes': credentials.scopes}

Ruby

To exchange an authorization code for an access token, use the fetch_access_token!
method:

auth_client.code = auth_code
auth_client.fetch_access_token!

Node.js

To exchange an authorization code for an access token, use the getToken
method:

const url = require('url');

// Receive the callback from Google's OAuth 2.0 server.
if (req.url.startsWith('/oauth2callback')) {
  // Handle the OAuth 2.0 server response
  let q = url.parse(req.url, true).query;

  // Get access and refresh tokens (if access_type is offline)
  let { tokens } = await oauth2Client.getToken(q.code);
  oauth2Client.setCredentials(tokens);
}

HTTP/REST

To exchange an authorization code for an access token, call the
https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token endpoint and set the following parameters:

Fields
client_id The client ID obtained from the API Console
Credentials page.
client_secret The client secret obtained from the API Console
Credentials page.
code The authorization code returned from the initial request.
grant_type As defined in the OAuth 2.0
specification, this field’s value must be set to authorization_code.
redirect_uri One of the redirect URIs listed for your project in the
API Console
Credentials page for the given
client_id.

The following snippet shows a sample request:

POST /token HTTP/1.1
Host: oauth2.googleapis.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

code=4/P7q7W91a-oMsCeLvIaQm6bTrgtp7&
client_id=your_client_id&
client_secret=your_client_secret&
redirect_uri=https%3A//oauth2.example.com/code&
grant_type=authorization_code

Google responds to this request by returning a JSON object that contains a short-lived access
token and a refresh token.

Note that the refresh token is only returned if your application set the access_type
parameter to offline in the initial request to Google’s
authorization server.

The response contains the following fields:

Fields
access_token The token that your application sends to authorize a Google API request.
expires_in The remaining lifetime of the access token in seconds.
refresh_token A token that you can use to obtain a new access token. Refresh tokens are valid until the
user revokes access.

Again, this field is only present in this response if you set the access_type
parameter to offline in the initial request to Google’s authorization server.

scope The scopes of access granted by the access_token expressed as a list of
space-delimited, case-sensitive strings.
token_type The type of token returned. At this time, this field’s value is always set to
Bearer.

The following snippet shows a sample response:

{
  "access_token": "1/fFAGRNJru1FTz70BzhT3Zg",
  "expires_in": 3920,
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly",
  "refresh_token": "1//xEoDL4iW3cxlI7yDbSRFYNG01kVKM2C-259HOF2aQbI"
}

Calling Google APIs

PHP

Use the access token to call Google APIs by completing the following steps:

  1. If you need to apply an access token to a new GoogleClient object — for
    example, if you stored the access token in a user session — use the
    setAccessToken method:

    $client->setAccessToken($access_token);
  2. Build a service object for the API that you want to call. You build a service object by
    providing an authorized GoogleClient object to the constructor for the API you
    want to call.
    For example, to call the Drive API:

    $drive = new GoogleServiceDrive($client);
  3. Make requests to the API service using the
    interface provided by the service object.

    For example, to list the files in the authenticated user’s Google Drive:

    $files = $drive->files->listFiles(array())->getItems();

Python

After obtaining an access token, your application can use that token to authorize API requests on
behalf of a given user account or service account. Use the user-specific authorization credentials
to build a service object for the API that you want to call, and then use that object to make
authorized API requests.

  1. Build a service object for the API that you want to call. You build a service object by
    calling the googleapiclient.discovery library’s build method with the
    name and version of the API and the user credentials:

    For example, to call version 2 of the Drive API:

    from googleapiclient.discovery import build
    
    drive = build('drive', 'v2', credentials=credentials)
  2. Make requests to the API service using the
    interface provided by the service object.

    For example, to list the files in the authenticated user’s Google Drive:

    files = drive.files().list().execute()

Ruby

Use the auth_client object to call Google APIs by completing the following
steps:

  1. Build a service object for the API that you want to call.

    For example, to call version 2 of the Drive API:

    drive = Google::Apis::DriveV2::DriveService.new
  2. Set the credentials on the service:
    drive.authorization = auth_client
  3. Make requests to the API service using the
    interface
    provided by the service object.

    For example, to list the files in the authenticated user’s Google Drive:

    files = drive.list_files

Alternately, authorization can be provided on a per-method basis by supplying the
options parameter to a method:

files = drive.list_files(options: { authorization: auth_client })

Node.js

After obtaining an access token and setting it to the OAuth2 object, use the object
to call Google APIs. Your application can use that token to authorize API requests on behalf of
a given user account or service account. Build a service object for the API that you want to call.

const { google } = require('googleapis');

// Example of using Google Drive API to list filenames in user's Drive.
const drive = google.drive('v3');
drive.files.list({
  auth: oauth2Client,
  pageSize: 10,
  fields: 'nextPageToken, files(id, name)',
}, (err1, res1) => {
  if (err1) return console.log('The API returned an error: ' + err1);
  const files = res1.data.files;
  if (files.length) {
    console.log('Files:');
    files.map((file) => {
      console.log(`${file.name} (${file.id})`);
    });
  } else {
    console.log('No files found.');
  }
});

HTTP/REST

After your application obtains an access token, you can use the token to make calls to a Google
API on behalf of a given
user account if the scope(s) of access required by the API have been granted. To do this, include
the access token in a request to the API by including either an access_token query
parameter or an Authorization HTTP header Bearer value. When possible,
the HTTP header is preferable, because query strings tend to be visible in server logs. In most
cases you can use a client library to set up your calls to Google APIs (for example, when
calling the Drive Files API).

You can try out all the Google APIs and view their scopes at the
OAuth 2.0 Playground.

HTTP GET examples

A call to the

drive.files
endpoint (the Drive Files API) using the Authorization: Bearer HTTP
header might look like the following. Note that you need to specify your own access token:

GET /drive/v2/files HTTP/1.1
Host: www.googleapis.com
Authorization: Bearer access_token

Here is a call to the same API for the authenticated user using the access_token
query string parameter:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?access_token=access_token

curl examples

You can test these commands with the curl command-line application. Here’s an
example that uses the HTTP header option (preferred):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer access_token" https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files

Or, alternatively, the query string parameter option:

curl https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?access_token=access_token

Complete example

The following example prints a JSON-formatted list of files in a user’s Google Drive after the
user authenticates and gives consent for the application to access the user’s Drive metadata.

PHP

To run this example:

  1. In the API Console, add the URL of the local machine to the
    list of redirect URLs. For example, add http://localhost:8080.
  2. Create a new directory and change to it. For example:
    mkdir ~/php-oauth2-example
    cd ~/php-oauth2-example
  3. Install the Google API Client
    Library for PHP using Composer:

    composer require google/apiclient:^2.10
  4. Create the files index.php and oauth2callback.php with the content
    below.
  5. Run the example with a web server configured to serve PHP. If you use PHP 5.6 or newer, you
    can use PHP’s built-in test web server:

    php -S localhost:8080 ~/php-oauth2-example

index.php

<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

session_start();

$client = new GoogleClient();
$client->setAuthConfig('client_secrets.json');
$client->addScope(GoogleServiceDrive::DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY);

if (isset($_SESSION['access_token']) && $_SESSION['access_token']) {
  $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['access_token']);
  $drive = new GoogleServiceDrive($client);
  $files = $drive->files->listFiles(array())->getItems();
  echo json_encode($files);
} else {
  $redirect_uri = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/oauth2callback.php';
  header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect_uri, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
}

oauth2callback.php

<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

session_start();

$client = new GoogleClient();
$client->setAuthConfigFile('client_secrets.json');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/oauth2callback.php');
$client->addScope(GoogleServiceDrive::DRIVE_METADATA_READONLY);

if (! isset($_GET['code'])) {
  $auth_url = $client->createAuthUrl();
  header('Location: ' . filter_var($auth_url, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
} else {
  $client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
  $_SESSION['access_token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
  $redirect_uri = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/';
  header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect_uri, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
}

Python

This example uses the Flask framework. It
runs a web application at http://localhost:8080 that lets you test the OAuth 2.0
flow. If you go to that URL, you should see four links:

  • Test an API request: This link points to a page that tries to execute a sample API
    request. If necessary, it starts the authorization flow. If successful, the page displays the
    API response.
  • Test the auth flow directly: This link points to a page that tries to send the user
    through the authorization flow. The app requests permission to
    submit authorized API requests on the user’s behalf.
  • Revoke current credentials: This link points to a page that
    revokes permissions that the user has already granted to the application.
  • Clear Flask session credentials: This link clears authorization credentials that are
    stored in the Flask session. This lets you see what would happen if a user who had already
    granted permission to your app tried to execute an API request in a new session. It also lets
    you see the API response your app would get if a user had revoked permissions granted to your
    app, and your app still tried to authorize a request with a revoked access token.

Node.js

To run this example:

  1. In the API Console, add the URL of the
    local machine to the list of redirect URLs. For example, add
    http://localhost.
  2. Make sure you have maintenance LTS, active LTS, or current release of
    Node.js installed.
  3. Create a new directory and change to it. For example:

    mkdir ~/nodejs-oauth2-example
    cd ~/nodejs-oauth2-example
  4. Install the

HTTP/REST

This Python example uses the Flask framework
and the Requests library to demonstrate the OAuth
2.0 web flow. We recommend using the Google API Client Library for Python for this flow. (The
example in the Python tab does use the client library.)

import json

import flask
import requests


app = flask.Flask(__name__)

CLIENT_ID = '123456789.apps.googleusercontent.com'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'abc123'  # Read from a file or environmental variable in a real app
SCOPE = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly'
REDIRECT_URI = 'http://example.com/oauth2callback'


@app.route('/')
def index():
  if 'credentials' not in flask.session:
    return flask.redirect(flask.url_for('oauth2callback'))
  credentials = json.loads(flask.session['credentials'])
  if credentials['expires_in'] <= 0:
    return flask.redirect(flask.url_for('oauth2callback'))
  else:
    headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(credentials['access_token'])}
    req_uri = 'https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files'
    r = requests.get(req_uri, headers=headers)
    return r.text


@app.route('/oauth2callback')
def oauth2callback():
  if 'code' not in flask.request.args:
    auth_uri = ('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=code'
                '&client_id={}&redirect_uri={}&scope={}').format(CLIENT_ID, REDIRECT_URI, SCOPE)
    return flask.redirect(auth_uri)
  else:
    auth_code = flask.request.args.get('code')
    data = {'code': auth_code,
            'client_id': CLIENT_ID,
            'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET,
            'redirect_uri': REDIRECT_URI,
            'grant_type': 'authorization_code'}
    r = requests.post('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token', data=data)
    flask.session['credentials'] = r.text
    return flask.redirect(flask.url_for('index'))

  import uuid
  app.secret_key = str(uuid.uuid4())
  app.debug = False
  app.run()

Redirect URI validation rules

Google applies the following validation rules to redirect URIs in order to help developers
keep their applications secure. Your redirect URIs must adhere to these rules. See
RFC 3986 section 3 for the
definition of domain, host, path, query, scheme and userinfo, mentioned below.

Validation rules
Scheme

Redirect URIs must use the HTTPS scheme, not plain HTTP. Localhost URIs (including
localhost IP address URIs) are exempt from this rule.

Host

Hosts cannot be raw IP addresses. Localhost IP addresses are exempted from this rule.

Domain
  • Host TLDs
    (Top Level Domains)
    must belong to the public suffix list.
  • Host domains cannot be “googleusercontent.com”.
  • Redirect URIs cannot contain URL shortener domains (e.g. goo.gl) unless
    the app owns the domain. Furthermore, if an app that owns a shortener domain chooses to
    redirect to that domain, that redirect URI must either contain
    “/google-callback/” in its path or end with
    “/google-callback”.
  • Userinfo

    Redirect URIs cannot contain the userinfo subcomponent.

    Path

    Redirect URIs cannot contain a path traversal (also called directory backtracking),
    which is represented by an “/..” or “..” or their URL
    encoding.

    Query

    Redirect URIs cannot contain
    open redirects.

    Fragment

    Redirect URIs cannot contain the fragment component.

    Characters

    Redirect URIs cannot contain certain characters including:

    • Wildcard characters ('*')
    • Non-printable ASCII characters
    • Invalid percent encodings (any percent encoding that does not follow URL-encoding
      form of a percent sign followed by two hexadecimal digits)
    • Null characters (an encoded NULL character, e.g., %00,
      %C0%80)

    Incremental authorization

    In the OAuth 2.0 protocol, your app requests authorization to access resources, which are
    identified by scopes. It is considered a best user-experience practice to request authorization
    for resources at the time you need them. To enable that practice, Google’s authorization server
    supports incremental authorization. This feature lets you request scopes as they are needed and,
    if the user grants permission for the new scope, returns an authorization code that may be
    exchanged for a token containing all scopes the user has granted the project.

    For example, an app that lets people sample music tracks and create mixes might need very few
    resources at sign-in time, perhaps nothing more than the name of the person signing in. However,
    saving a completed mix would require access to their Google Drive. Most people would find it
    natural if they only were asked for access to their Google Drive at the time the app actually
    needed it.

    In this case, at sign-in time the app might request the openid and
    profile scopes to perform basic sign-in, and then later request the
    https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file scope at the time of the first request to save a
    mix.

    To implement incremental authorization, you complete the normal flow for requesting an access
    token but make sure that the authorization request includes previously granted scopes. This
    approach allows your app to avoid having to manage multiple access tokens.

    The following rules apply to an access token obtained from an incremental authorization:

    • The token can be used to access resources corresponding to any of the scopes rolled into the
      new, combined authorization.
    • When you use the refresh token for the combined authorization to obtain an access token, the
      access token represents the combined authorization and can be used for any of the
      scope values included in the response.
    • The combined authorization includes all scopes that the user granted to the API project even
      if the grants were requested from different clients. For example, if a user granted access to
      one scope using an application’s desktop client and then granted another scope to the same
      application via a mobile client, the combined authorization would include both scopes.
    • If you revoke a token that represents a combined authorization, access to all of that
      authorization’s scopes on behalf of the associated user are revoked simultaneously.

    The language-specific code samples in Step 1: Set authorization
    parameters and the sample HTTP/REST redirect URL in Step 2:
    Redirect to Google’s OAuth 2.0 server all use incremental authorization. The code samples
    below also show the code that you need to add to use incremental authorization.

    PHP

    $client->setIncludeGrantedScopes(true);

    Python

    In Python, set the include_granted_scopes keyword argument to true to
    ensure that an authorization request includes previously granted scopes. It is very possible that
    include_granted_scopes will not be the only keyword argument that you set, as
    shown in the example below.

    authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
        # Enable offline access so that you can refresh an access token without
        # re-prompting the user for permission. Recommended for web server apps.
        access_type='offline',
        # Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
        include_granted_scopes='true')

    Ruby

    auth_client.update!(
      :additional_parameters => {"include_granted_scopes" => "true"}
    )

    Node.js

    const authorizationUrl = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
      // 'online' (default) or 'offline' (gets refresh_token)
      access_type: 'offline',
      /** Pass in the scopes array defined above.
        * Alternatively, if only one scope is needed, you can pass a scope URL as a string */
      scope: scopes,
      // Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
      include_granted_scopes: true
    });
    

    HTTP/REST

    GET https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?
      client_id=your_client_id&
      response_type=code&
      state=state_parameter_passthrough_value&
      scope=https%3A//www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file&
      redirect_uri=https%3A//oauth2.example.com/code&
      prompt=consent&
      include_granted_scopes=true

    Refreshing an access token (offline access)

    Access tokens periodically expire and become invalid credentials for a related API request. You
    can refresh an access token without prompting the user for permission (including when the user is
    not present) if you requested offline access to the scopes associated with the token.

    • If you use a Google API Client Library, the client object refreshes
      the access token as needed as long as you configure that object for offline access.
    • If you are not using a client library, you need to set the access_type HTTP
      query parameter to offline when redirecting the user to
      Google’s OAuth 2.0 server. In that case, Google’s authorization server returns a
      refresh token when you exchange an authorization
      code for an access token. Then, if the access token expires (or at any other time), you
      can use a refresh token to obtain a new access token.

    Requesting offline access is a requirement for any application that needs to access a Google
    API when the user is not present. For example, an app that performs backup services or
    executes actions at predetermined times needs to be able to refresh its access token when the
    user is not present. The default style of access is called online.

    Server-side web applications, installed applications, and devices all obtain refresh tokens
    during the authorization process. Refresh tokens are not typically used in client-side
    (JavaScript) web applications.

    PHP

    If your application needs offline access to a Google API, set the API client’s access type to
    offline:

    $client->setAccessType("offline");

    After a user grants offline access to the requested scopes, you can continue to use the API
    client to access Google APIs on the user’s behalf when the user is offline. The client object
    will refresh the access token as needed.

    Python

    In Python, set the access_type keyword argument to offline to ensure
    that you will be able to refresh the access token without having to re-prompt the user for
    permission. It is very possible that access_type will not be the only keyword
    argument that you set, as shown in the example below.

    authorization_url, state = flow.authorization_url(
        # Enable offline access so that you can refresh an access token without
        # re-prompting the user for permission. Recommended for web server apps.
        access_type='offline',
        # Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
        include_granted_scopes='true')

    After a user grants offline access to the requested scopes, you can continue to use the API
    client to access Google APIs on the user’s behalf when the user is offline. The client object
    will refresh the access token as needed.

    Ruby

    If your application needs offline access to a Google API, set the API client’s access type to
    offline:

    auth_client.update!(
      :additional_parameters => {"access_type" => "offline"}
    )

    After a user grants offline access to the requested scopes, you can continue to use the API
    client to access Google APIs on the user’s behalf when the user is offline. The client object
    will refresh the access token as needed.

    Node.js

    If your application needs offline access to a Google API, set the API client’s access type to
    offline:

    const authorizationUrl = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
      // 'online' (default) or 'offline' (gets refresh_token)
      access_type: 'offline',
      /** Pass in the scopes array defined above.
        * Alternatively, if only one scope is needed, you can pass a scope URL as a string */
      scope: scopes,
      // Enable incremental authorization. Recommended as a best practice.
      include_granted_scopes: true
    });
    

    After a user grants offline access to the requested scopes, you can continue to use the API
    client to access Google APIs on the user’s behalf when the user is offline. The client object
    will refresh the access token as needed.

    Access tokens expire. This library will automatically use a refresh token to obtain a new access
    token if it is about to expire. An easy way to make sure you always store the most recent tokens
    is to use the tokens event:

    oauth2Client.on('tokens', (tokens) => {
      if (tokens.refresh_token) {
        // store the refresh_token in your secure persistent database
        console.log(tokens.refresh_token);
      }
      console.log(tokens.access_token);
    });

    This tokens event only occurs in the first authorization, and you need to have set your
    access_type to offline when calling the generateAuthUrl
    method to receive the refresh token. If you have already given your app the requisiste permissions
    without setting the appropriate constraints for receiving a refresh token, you will need to
    re-authorize the application to receive a fresh refresh token.

    To set the refresh_token at a later time, you can use the setCredentials method:

    oauth2Client.setCredentials({
      refresh_token: `STORED_REFRESH_TOKEN`
    });
    

    Once the client has a refresh token, access tokens will be acquired and refreshed automatically
    in the next call to the API.

    HTTP/REST

    To refresh an access token, your application sends an HTTPS POST
    request to Google’s authorization server (https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token) that
    includes the following parameters:

    Fields
    client_id The client ID obtained from the API Console.
    client_secret The client secret obtained from the API Console.

    grant_type As
    defined in the
    OAuth 2.0 specification,
    this field’s value must be set to refresh_token.
    refresh_token The refresh token returned from the authorization code exchange.

    The following snippet shows a sample request:

    POST /token HTTP/1.1
    Host: oauth2.googleapis.com
    Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    
    client_id=your_client_id&
    client_secret=your_client_secret&
    refresh_token=refresh_token&
    grant_type=refresh_token

    As long as the user has not revoked the access granted to the application, the token server
    returns a JSON object that contains a new access token. The following snippet shows a sample
    response:

    {
      "access_token": "1/fFAGRNJru1FTz70BzhT3Zg",
      "expires_in": 3920,
      "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly",
      "token_type": "Bearer"
    }

    Note that there are limits on the number of refresh tokens that will be issued; one limit per
    client/user combination, and another per user across all clients. You should save refresh tokens
    in long-term storage and continue to use them as long as they remain valid. If your application
    requests too many refresh tokens, it may run into these limits, in which case older refresh tokens
    will stop working.

    Revoking a token

    In some cases a user may wish to revoke access given to an application. A user can revoke access
    by visiting
    Account Settings. See the
    Remove
    site or app access section of the Third-party sites & apps with access to your account
    support document for more information.

    It is also possible for an application to programmatically revoke the access given to it.
    Programmatic revocation is important in instances where a user unsubscribes, removes an
    application, or the API resources required by an app have significantly changed. In other words,
    part of the removal process can include an API request to ensure the permissions previously
    granted to the application are removed.

    PHP

    To programmatically revoke a token, call revokeToken():

    $client->revokeToken();

    Python

    To programmatically revoke a token, make a request to
    https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke that includes the token as a parameter and sets the
    Content-Type header:

    requests.post('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke',
        params={'token': credentials.token},
        headers = {'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})

    Ruby

    To programmatically revoke a token, make an HTTP request to the oauth2.revoke
    endpoint:

    uri = URI('https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke')
    response = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, 'token' => auth_client.access_token)
    

    The token can be an access token or a refresh token. If the token is an access token and it has
    a corresponding refresh token, the refresh token will also be revoked.

    If the revocation is successfully processed, then the status code of the response is
    200. For error conditions, a status code 400 is returned along with an
    error code.

    Node.js

    To programmatically revoke a token, make an HTTPS POST request to /revoke
    endpoint:

    const https = require('https');
    
    // Build the string for the POST request
    let postData = "token=" + userCredential.access_token;
    
    // Options for POST request to Google's OAuth 2.0 server to revoke a token
    let postOptions = {
      host: 'oauth2.googleapis.com',
      port: '443',
      path: '/revoke',
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(postData)
      }
    };
    
    // Set up the request
    const postReq = https.request(postOptions, function (res) {
      res.setEncoding('utf8');
      res.on('data', d => {
        console.log('Response: ' + d);
      });
    });
    
    postReq.on('error', error => {
      console.log(error)
    });
    
    // Post the request with data
    postReq.write(postData);
    postReq.end();
    

    The token parameter can be an access token or a refresh token. If the token is an access token and it has
    a corresponding refresh token, the refresh token will also be revoked.

    If the revocation is successfully processed, then the status code of the response is
    200. For error conditions, a status code 400 is returned along with an
    error code.

    HTTP/REST

    To programmatically revoke a token, your application makes a request to
    https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke and includes the token as a parameter:

    curl -d -X -POST --header "Content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
            https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke?token={token}

    The token can be an access token or a refresh token. If the token is an access token and it has a
    corresponding refresh token, the refresh token will also be revoked.

    If the revocation is successfully processed, then the HTTP status code of the response is
    200. For error conditions, an HTTP status code 400 is returned along
    with an error code.

    This guide can help you troubleshoot issues you encounter while you use Sign in with Google to sign in to third-party apps or services. A third party is a company or developer that isn’t Google.

    Some issues that cause an error message may be outside of Google’s control. For example, the app or service you want to use could be set up in an unsafe way that Google doesn’t allow. Error codes help you understand why you can’t sign in, so you can resolve the problem or contact the developer directly for a solution.

    Tip: Sign in with Google offers many benefits, such as increased account security. Learn more about how Sign in with Google can improve your experiences online.

    Sign in to your Google Account

    • To use Sign in with Google, you must sign in to your Google Account.
    • If you have trouble, go to Can’t sign in to your Google Account.

    Troubleshoot account login issues

    Important: Sign in with Google helps you sign in to a third-party app or service, but your Google Account and third-party account remain separate.

    If you have an issue with Sign in with Google, find out whether the problem comes from your Google Account or the third-party account.

    Account suspended or disabled

    When you try to use Sign in with Google, you could get a message that your account is disabled or suspended. To fix the problem, first find out if your Google Account is disabled. If it’s not, the third party may have disabled your account on their site only.

    • To find out whether your Google Account is disabled:
      • Try to sign in to your Google Account. If your Google Account is disabled, when you try to sign in, you’ll get a message that says «Account disabled.»
      • Check your logins to Google services. For example, if you can log in to the Gmail address of your Google Account, then your Google Account isn’t disabled.
      • If you saved another email address in your Google Account, check there for an email that says your Google Account has been disabled.
    • If your Google Account is disabled:
      • Try to sign in to the app or service in another way.
        • Ask the third party if you can use an email and password or another sign-in method.
      • Learn how to restore your account.
    • If the third party suspends your account: To get help, contact the developer directly.

    Account deleted

    When a Google Account is deleted:

    • Your Sign in with Google data is also deleted. That means you can no longer use the Sign in with Google button to sign in with the deleted account.
    • Even if your Google Account is deleted, you may still be able to access your separate third-party account in another way. Try to sign in to the app or service with a username and password, or contact the developer directly.

    When a third-party account is deleted:

    • The third party doesn’t notify Google even if you used Sign in with Google to create that account. Your Google Account might still show the app or service is linked to your account.
    • To understand how the third party handles your data, review their Terms of Service.
      • Some third parties simply disable your account.
      • Others delete your data from their service.
        • If your data is deleted, you’ll need to create a new account on the app or service. You can still use Sign in with Google to do this, but you may need to use a different Google Account.

    Can’t use Sign in with Google with a current third-party account

    If you already have an account on an app or service and try to use Sign in with Google, you might get an error message.

    Third-party services use Sign in with Google in different ways. Some services don’t support different sign-in methods for the same account. If you run into this issue, contact the developer directly.

    Understand & fix error codes

    If you’re signed in to your Google Account but still can’t use Sign in with Google, you might get an error code and message. You can use your code to find out what’s wrong and how to fix the problem.

    Error code Error message
    400 invalid_request Access blocked: App sent an invalid request.
    401 invalid_client No registered origin.
    401 deleted_client The OAuth client was deleted.
    403 invalid_account Error message varies
    403 access_denied Error message varies

    403 disallowed_useragent

    You can’t sign in from this screen because this app doesn’t comply with Google’s embedded webview policy. If this app has a website, you can open a web browser and try signing in from there.

    403 org_internal

    This client is restricted to users within its organization.

    403 restricted_client

    This app is not yet configured to make OAuth requests. To do that, set up the app’s OAuth consent screen in the Google Cloud Console.

    400 admin_policy_enforced  

    400 policy_enforced

    Advanced Protection prevented your Google Account from signing in. This security feature stops most non-Google apps and services from accessing your data to keep your account protected.

    400 origin_mismatch

    400 redirect_uri_mismatch

    You can’t sign in to this app because it doesn’t comply with Google’s OAuth 2.0 policy.

    400 invalid_request

    If you get an error that says “400 invalid_request” or “Access blocked: App sent an invalid request,” it means the app uses an authorization method that Google doesn’t allow.

    Google has safe ways for you to sign in and share your Google Account data with third-party apps and sites. To help protect your account, Sign in with Google blocks apps that could put your account at risk.

    Tip: Learn how Sign in with Google shares your data safely.

    What can you do about this error?

    Only the third-party developer can fix this issue. Contact the developer directly to tell them about the error.

    401 errors

    If you get an error that starts with “401,” that usually means the developer didn’t properly register their app with Google.

    To help protect your account, before a third-party developer can use Sign in with Google, Google asks them to register their apps. We don’t share your info with the developer until they register with us. Some of the error messages you might get include:

    • 401 invalid_client: Either the app doesn’t match the info on its registration or the developers haven’t given Google all the required info.
    • 401 deleted_client: The app or service isn’t registered with Google anymore.

    What can you do about this error?

    Only the third-party developer can fix this issue. Contact the developer directly to tell them about the error.

    403 invalid_account

    If you get an error that says “403 invalid_account,” it may mean your Google Account is disabled.

    What can you do about this error?

    Check if your Google Account has been disabled.

    If you find out your account is disabled, learn how to restore your account.

    403 access_denied

    If you get an error that says “403 access_denied,” either your Google Account can’t use the app or service or it can’t use Sign in with Google. Some reasons for this include:

    • The app is in test mode and the developer hasn’t added you as a test user.
    • The type of Google Account you’re signed in to doesn’t let you use Sign in with Google.
      • For example, a child’s account can’t use Sign in with Google without a parent or guardian’s permission.

    What can you do about this error?

    • Use a different type of account to sign in to the app.
    • If you believe your account should have access, contact the developer directly.

    403 disallowed_useragent

    If you get an error that says “403 disallowed_useragent,” the app uses embedded WebViews. Some developers use WebViews to help display web content in an app. Embedded WebViews puts your security at risk because they could let third parties access and change communications between you and Google.

    To keep your account secure, Google no longer allows embedded WebViews as of September 30, 2021.

    What can you do about this error?

    Only the third-party developer can fix this issue on the app. Contact the developer directly to tell them about the error.

    If the app has a website, you can try to sign in from your browser.

    403 org_internal

    If you get an error that says “403 org_internal,” it means that only members of a specific company or organization can use the app. For example, an organization might only allow email addresses that end in @example.com to access the app or service.

    What can you do about this error?

    If you’re a member of the organization, switch to your member account.

    403 restricted_client

    If you get an error that says “403 restricted_client,” it means the third-party app isn’t set up correctly to work with Sign in with Google. To help protect your account, Google asks third-party developers to follow certain security requirements.

    What can you do about this error?

    Only the third-party developer can fix this issue. Contact the developer directly to tell them about the error.

    400 admin_policy_enforced

    If you get an error that says “400 admin_policy_enforced” it means the administrator of your account doesn’t allow Sign in with Google. This can happen when you use an account from work or another organization. Sometimes only specific apps are blocked.

    What can you do about this error?

    If you believe you should have access to the app, reach out to your organization’s Google Workspace administrator.

    400 policy_enforced

    If you get an error that says “400 policy_enforced,” your Google Account may be part of the Advanced Protection Program. To help protect your account, this security feature doesn’t let most third-party apps or services access your Google Account data.

    What can you do about this error?

    To fix this error, you must opt out of the Advanced Protection Program. This means you’ll lose the program’s security benefits.

    400 origin_mismatch or 400 redirect_uri_mismatch

    If you get an error that says “400 origin_mismatch” or “400 redirect_uri_mismatch,” it may mean either:

    • The app or service’s developer hasn’t set up their app correctly
    • The app has tried to access your data in a way that doesn’t follow our policies

    To help protect your account, before third parties can use Sign in with Google, we require them to register their app with us. They must also follow our security standards and policies. If an app doesn’t follow these policies, we won’t let it use Sign in with Google until the app developer fixes the problem.

    What can you do about this error?

    Only the third-party developer can fix this issue. Contact the developer directly to tell them about the error.

    Fix other problems on a third-party app or service

    Sometimes you can sign in to a third-party site with Google but you still can’t use the app or service. Google doesn’t fulfill the services offered by the third party, so most of the reasons this happens are outside Google’s control. We only help the app or site identify who you are.

    Some examples of problems with an app or service might include:

    • You bought a movie on a third-party service but can’t watch it.
    • You can’t buy something on a third-party site.
    • You can’t renew your subscription on a third party site.

    If you have problems like these, contact the developer directly.

    Contact a third-party app developer

    To find contact info for a third-party developer:

    1. Go to the app or service.
    2. Select Sign in with Google.
      • To get the Sign in with Google screen, you might need to sign out of the app or service.
    3. To get the developer’s email, at the top of the next screen, select the app or website name. In some cases, the developer’s email may not be available.

    Secure a hacked or compromised account

    • If you think someone has hacked into your Google Account: Follow the steps to secure a compromised Google Account.
      • If your Google Account is hacked, someone else might be able to use your account to sign in to a third-party app or service. To strengthen your account security, turn on 2-Step Verification.
      • Google helps keep your linked accounts safe with Cross-Account Protection. This program detects suspicious events and shares security notifications with compatible third-party apps and services connected to your Google Account.
    • If you think someone hacked into your third-party account: Contact the developer directly.

    Вы создали проект в Google Cloud Platform. Создали Consent Screen для OAuth2.0 Client ID. Создали приложение, которое должно, используя SDK (допустим google-api-php-client ) запрашивать у пользователя разрешения. Однако пользователь видит вот такое сообщение.

    Error 403 Access Denied Message

    Что это значит и что с этим делать.

    Что значит Ошибка 403: access_denied для Google API

    Дело в том, что проект в Google Cloud Platform по умолчанию находится в режиме тестирования. И чтобы пользоваться функционалом разных API Google требующего OAuth авторизации нужно либо пройти модерацию проекта в Google, либо добавить тестовых пользователей (аккаунты google этих пользователей) в специальный список тестеров для OAuth2.0 Client ID в раздел OAuth consent screen. Если этого не сделать или запрашивать разрешения у пользователя не из этого списка то как раз и будет появляться ошибка Ошибка 403: access_denied.

    Как добавить тестового пользователя в OAuth2.0 Client ID

    Открой раздел OAuth consent screen (ссылка вида

    https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent?project=<твой проект> ) и найди кнопку Test Users

    Error 403 Access Denied Message

    Добавь тестового юзера используя его емейл на домене gmail.com вида

    someuser@gmail.com , чтобы получилось так:

    Error 403 Access Denied Message

    Тогда этот пользователь при запросе разрешений из твоего разрешения перестанет получать ошибку Ошибка 403: access_denied. А вместо него будет вот такое окошко:

    Error 403 Access Denied Message

    Оно как раз рассказывает пользователю, которого вы добавили в список тестеров, что приложение которое запрашивает у пользователя разрешения к его ресурсам не было проверено в Google и может быть не безопасно. То есть продакшен на широкую публику такого приложения вызывает большие сомнения.

    Но если пользователь согласится, то:

    Error 403 Access Denied Message

    Затем выбери нужные права

    Error 403 Access Denied Message

    И все заработает. Только не забудь, что для каждого проекта есть лимит в 100 пользователей которые могут стать тестерами. И, самое главное, тестеров нельзя удалить из списка!

    А ещё, если у вас на один аккаунт выданы разрешения на управление другими аккаунтами (например для YouTube), то достаточно добавить в тестеры такой метааккаунт чтобы получить доступ ко всем аккаунтам (каналам Youtube например) к которым имеет доступ такой аккаунт.
