Google API PHP Client Authorization - php

Question

I am having an issue with authorizing some requests and I am getting a 401 "Invalid Credentials" error. The application flow is as follows. The user logs in my website using the Google sign in button. I am using the offline access parameter and I am saving the refresh token in the session. After the user has logged in I am trying to retrieve all of their playlists (public and private) from their YouTube account.
$client->setScopes('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly');
if (isset($_SESSION['googletoken']['refresh_token'])){
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['googletoken']['refresh_token']);}
$tokenSessionKey = $client->prepareScopes();
$params = [
'maxResults' => 1,
'mine' => true
];
try{
$queryParams = [
'maxResults' => 1,
'mine' => true
];
$listResponse = $youtube->playlists->listPlaylists('snippet', $queryParams);

You are setting your access token with the refresh token You should be using
$client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($client->getRefreshToken());
Oauthcallback.php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/Oauth2Authentication.php';
// Start a session to persist credentials.
session_start();
Oauth2Authncation.php
require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
/**
* Gets the Google client refreshing auth if needed.
* Documentation: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
* Initializes a client object.
* #return A google client object.
*/
function getGoogleClient() {
$client = getOauth2Client();
// Refresh the token if it's expired.
if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
$client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($client->getRefreshToken());
file_put_contents($credentialsPath, json_encode($client->getAccessToken()));
}
return $client;
}
/**

* Documentation: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
* Scopes will need to be changed depending upon the API's being accessed.

*/
function buildClient(){
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAccessType("offline"); // offline access. Will result in a refresh token
$client->setIncludeGrantedScopes(true); // incremental auth
$client->setAuthConfig(__DIR__ . '/client_secrets.json');
$client->addScope([YOUR SCOPES HERE]);
$client->setRedirectUri(getRedirectUri());
return $client;
}
/**

* Documentation: https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/auth/installed-app#choosingredirecturi

*/
function getRedirectUri(){
//Building Redirect URI
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; //returns the current URL
if(strrpos($url, '?') > 0)
$url = substr($url, 0, strrpos($url, '?') ); // Removing any parameters.
$folder = substr($url, 0, strrpos($url, '/') ); // Removeing current file.
return (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? "https" : "http") . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $folder. '/oauth2callback.php';
