I want to fetch all the photos on Google photos on my web site using php.
Is it possible?. I know Picasa Web Albums Data API deprecated. I have got try it from Picasa. but i am not able to download library from https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/php_client_lib.
There is currently no Google Photos API. The only thing available is Picasa. You may be able to upload the pictures to your google drive account and display them on your website that way. However your probably going to have to set the pictures to public.
There is an API now for Google photo's.
But I've not been successfull in making it work myself
https://developers.google.com/photos/
I am trying to do the same thing, so far, I setup the api:
From Google Console API --> enabled the photos library api.
Following this example : https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client/blob/master/examples/simple-query.php
I managed to setup the api with the following code :
include_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
include_once 'base.php';
# create client
$client = new Google_Client();
$client -> setApplicationName("Client_Library_examples");
if(!$apiKey = getApiKey()) {
echo missingApiKeyWarning();
}
$client -> setDeveloperKey($apiKey);
The autoload and base.php files were copied from the mentioned link. I copied my api to a file .apiKey.
Up to this point, the code works fine, the example in the previous link explains how to create a new google service for e-books. There must be a similar thing for google photos but couldn't find any yet.
I found the following but I am not getting anything with the echo :
$response = file_get_contents('https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums');
$response = json_decode($response);
echo $response

This is what I've tried:
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAuthConfig(Mage::getBaseDir('etc') . '/test-7b390c56695f.json');
$client->setScopes(Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE);
$client->setApplicationName('artsdecors-test');
$this->service = new Google_Service_Drive($client);
foreach ($files as $file) {
echo($file->getMimeType() . "\n");
}
This retrieved only one file ("application/pdf" with title "Getting started"), not my own files. What is my mistake?
Determine if the test-7b390c56695f.json is the client-secret.json produced in the Google Developer Console.
You have to be properly authenticated to be able to retrieve your own files. The PHP Quickstart is a good place to begin learning how the Drive API works. Once done, you can now check out on the proper authentication scopes you'll be needing for your application.
The client is authenticating with credentials in the .json file, most likely. Are those your accurate credentials, or a set of test credentials provided with the SDK?
Disclaimer: I have never worked with the drive sdk, only suggesting what might be an issue here.
I've been taking a look at the Google API PHP Client and would like to use it to add rows to a Google Sheet. From the code, it looks like one would use this method:
public function insert($fileId, Google_Service_Drive_Property $postBody, $optParams = array())
{
$params = array('fileId' => $fileId, 'postBody' => $postBody);
$params = array_merge($params, $optParams);
return $this->call('insert', array($params), "Google_Service_Drive_Property");
}
but I can't really tell what the parameters would be. Am I heading in the right direction? Also, not quite sure on how to connect to a specific Sheet. Please advise.
Thanks!
Use Google sheets class from zend framework 1.12. They have very nicely coded library for Google Spreadsheets
https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/tree/master/library/Zend/Gdata/Spreadsheets
I figured out how to work this and wanted to share with you guys. As I stated in a comment, I did not think using Zend's GData class was a good way for me since it's very dependent on other classes throughout the framework, thus being too heavy.
So I ended up using this Spreadsheet Client on top of Google's API. Google's API is used to authenticate my service, then I start calling the Spreadsheet Client library afterwards.
After spending over a day of Googling for various problems I had for the authentication process, here's what I did to make things work:
Created a new project for Google API here
Clicked "APIs" menu on the left side under "APIs & Auth"
Searched the Drive API and enabled it (can't remember if it was necessary)
Clicked the "Credentials" menu on the left
Clicked "Create new Client ID" button under OAuth
Selected "Service Account"
After info showed & json downloaded (not needed), I clicked "Generate new P12 Key" button
I saved the p12 file somewhere I could access it through PHP
Then in the code, I added the following lines:
$email = 'somethingsomethingblahblah#developer.gserviceaccount.com';
$CLIENT_ID = $email;
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME = $email;
$KEY_FILE = 'path/to/p12/file';
$SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE = 'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds';
$key = file_get_contents($KEY_FILE);
$auth = new Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials(
$SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME,
array($SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE),
$key
);
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setScopes(array($SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE));
$client->setAssertionCredentials($auth);
$client->getAuth()->refreshTokenWithAssertion();
$client->setClientId($CLIENT_ID);
$accessToken = $client->getAccessToken();
Also, I had to make sure I:
Shared my spreadsheet specifically with the email address on my service account in the code above
Synced my server's time (I'm running Vagrant CentOS so it's slightly different)
I believe you can run this code with other services beyond Spreadsheets, such as Youtube, Analytics, etc., but you will need to get the correct scope link (see $SPREADSHEETS_SCOPE above). Remember, this is only when using the Service Account on the Google Console, which means you are programmatically getting data from your code. If you are looking to have others users sign in using the API, then it's different.
I am having issue with the Google Drive API, i was able to fetch the files using API But i can't download via this link. I guess, must some auth, but i have used refresh tokens to authenticate.Please see below for my code
$this->load->library('google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client');
include APPPATH . '/libraries/google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_DriveService.php';
// Library Files Configuration to get access token and Refresh Token
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setAccessType('offline'); // default: offline
$client->setApplicationName('xxx'); //name of the application
$client->setClientId('yyyy'); //insert your client id
$client->setClientSecret('zzz'); //insert your client secret
$client->setScopes(array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'));
$service = new Google_DriveService($client);
$client->refreshToken($drive_data->refreshtoken);
$client->getAccessToken();
$parameters = array();
$files = $service->files->listFiles($parameters);
foreach ($files['items'] as $key => $items)

Anybody knows how to get the download url with authentication?
This is having the answer:
(Java) Download URL not working
There seem to be some changes on v2 of GDrive, instead of using "downloadUrl" you may have to use "webContentLink" for getting the download link
To get downloadUrls, you need to get the metadata of a file. You can do so by using the get method. The method will return a File Resource representation. In this resource, there is a downloadUrl property. If you're able to access the files and get the URL already, then there should be no problem with your authentication setup. There could be permission issues where you may not have access to certain drive files, but if you receive no error for it, you should be fine there too. I am not particularly familiar with PHP, but perhaps you are not downloading it correctly? Here it seems to be done differently.
I also suggest that you check out the Drive PHP Quickstart App to use as a reference.
I have bumped into the same problem today and just found a solution for my case. I hope that this helps the one or another confused PHP coder out there who also does not get a downloadUrl. I assume that you are working with the examples of the v2 API, as seen on https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference.
First, I have altered the head to not only access the metadata but get full access (mind the DRIVE constant):
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
const DRIVE = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive";
define('APPLICATION_NAME', 'MAGOS poller');
define('CREDENTIALS_PATH', 'credentials.json');
define('CLIENT_SECRET_PATH', 'client_secret.json');
define('SCOPES', implode(' ', array(Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE)));
Then I have deleted my credentials file (credentials.json) and reran the script so it authenticated once more against gDrive and recreated the credentials file. After that
$downloadUrl = $file->getDownloadUrl();
finally worked like a charm.
I am making a website in which I am fetching contents from dropbox and google drive.
I have got the api for dropbox :
<?php
/* Please supply your own consumer key and consumer secret */
$consumerKey = '';
$consumerSecret = '';
include 'Dropbox/autoload.php';
session_start();
$oauth = new Dropbox_OAuth_PHP($consumerKey, $consumerSecret);
// If the PHP OAuth extension is not available, you can try
// PEAR's HTTP_OAUTH instead.
// $oauth = new Dropbox_OAuth_PEAR($consumerKey, $consumerSecret);
$dropbox = new Dropbox_API($oauth);
?>
but I have not got the api for GOOGLE DRIVE in php.
Please help me through this so that I can get the API of google drive in php and with the help of which I can fetch the contents of google drive stored by a user.
Google Drive does have an API. See: What Can You Do with the Drive Platform?
A quickstart to get it to work with PHP: Quickstart: Run a Drive App in PHP. It includes several code samples.
Using Facebook's PHP SDK, I was able to get Facebook login working pretty quickly on my website. They simply set a $user variable that can be accessed very easily.
I've had no such luck trying to get Twitter's OAuth login working... quite frankly, their github material is confusing and useless for someone that's relatively new to PHP and web design, not to mention that many of the unofficial examples I've tried working through are just as confusing or are outdated.
I really need some help getting Twitter login working--I mean just a basic example where I click the login button, I authorize my app, and it redirects to a page where it displays the name of the logged in user.
I really appreciate your help.
EDIT I'm aware of the existence of abraham's twitter oauth but it provides close to no instructions whatsoever to get his stuff working.
this one is the basic example of getting the url for authorization and then fetching the user basic info when once u get back from twitter
<?php
session_start();
//add autoload note:do check your file paths in autoload.php
require "ret/autoload.php";
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
//this code will run when returned from twiter after authentication
if(isset($_SESSION['oauth_token'])){
$oauth_token=$_SESSION['oauth_token'];unset($_SESSION['oauth_token']);
$consumer_key = 'your consumer key';
$consumer_secret = 'your secret key';
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
//necessary to get access token other wise u will not have permision to get user info
$params=array("oauth_verifier" => $_GET['oauth_verifier'],"oauth_token"=>$_GET['oauth_token']);
$access_token = $connection->oauth("oauth/access_token", $params);
//now again create new instance using updated return oauth_token and oauth_token_secret because old one expired if u dont u this u will also get token expired error
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret,
$access_token['oauth_token'],$access_token['oauth_token_secret']);
$content = $connection->get("account/verify_credentials");
print_r($content);
}
else{
// main startup code
$consumer_key = 'your consumer key';
$consumer_secret = 'your secret key';
//this code will return your valid url which u can use in iframe src to popup or can directly view the page as its happening in this example
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($consumer_key, $consumer_secret);
$temporary_credentials = $connection->oauth('oauth/request_token', array("oauth_callback" =>'http://dev.crm.alifca.com/twitter/index.php'));
$_SESSION['oauth_token']=$temporary_credentials['oauth_token']; $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret']=$temporary_credentials['oauth_token_secret'];$url = $connection->url("oauth/authorize", array("oauth_token" => $temporary_credentials['oauth_token']));
// REDIRECTING TO THE URL
header('Location: ' . $url);
}
?>
I just tried abraham's twitteroauth from github and it seems to work fine for me. This is what I did
git clone https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth.git
Upload this into your webhost with domain, say, www.example.com
Go to Twitter Apps and register your application. The changes that you need are (assuming that you will use abraham's twitteroauth example hosted at http://www.example.com/twitteroauth)
a) Application Website will be http://www.example.com/twitteroauth
b) Application type will be browser
c) Callback url is http://www.example.com/twitteroauth/callback.php (Callback.php is included in the git source)
Once you do this, you will get the CONSUMER_KEY and CONSUMER_SECRET which you can update in the config.php from the twitteroauth distribution. Also set the callback to be the same as http://www.example.com/twitteroauth/callback.php
Thats it. If you now navigate to http://www.example.com/twitteroauth, you will get a "Signin with Twitter", that will take you to Twitter , authorize the request and get you back to the index.php page.
EDIT:
Example will not work but do not worry. Follow the above steps and upload to server.
Make sure you rename the file from github repository i.e. config-sample.php->config.php
if you want to see a working sample, find it here
Here are some OAuth 1.0A PHP libraries with examples:
tmhOAuth
Oauth-php
Twitter async
Twitter async provides documentation on how to simply sign in a user as you asked for.
Here is the step by step guide to integrate Twitter OAuth API to Web-application using PHP. Please following tutorial.
http://www.smarttutorials.net/sign-in-with-twitter-oauth-api-using-php/
You need to create Twitter App First By going thorugh following URL
https://apps.twitter.com/
Then you need to provide necessary information for the twitter app. Once your provided all the information and then save it. You will get Twitter application Consumer Key and Consumer secret.
Please download the source file from above link, and just replace TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET and TWITTER_OAUTH_CALLBACK with your Consumer Key (API Key), Consumer Secret (API Secret) and callback URL. Then upload this to your server. Now it will work successfully.
Abraham's Twitteroauth has a working demo here:
https://github.com/abraham/twitteroauth-demo
Following the steps in the demo readme worked for me. In order to run composer on macOS I had to do this after installing it: mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
IMO the demo could be a lot simpler and should be included in the main twitteroauth repo.
I recently had to post new tweets to Twitter via PHP using V2 of their API but couldn’t find any decent examples online that didn’t use V1 or V1.1. I eventually figured it out using the great package TwitterOAuth.
Install this package via composer require abraham/twitteroauth first (or manually) and visit developer.twitter.com, create a new app to get the credentials needed to use the API (see below). Then you can post a tweet based on the code below.
use Abraham\TwitterOAuth\TwitterOAuth;
// Connect
$connection = new TwitterOAuth($twitterConsumerKey, // Your API key
$twitterConsumerSecret, // Your API secret key
$twitterOauthAccessToken, // From your app created at https://developer.twitter.com/
$twitterOauthAccessTokenSecret); // From your app created at https://developer.twitter.com/
// Set API version to 2
$connection->setApiVersion('2');
// POST the tweet; the third parameter must be set to true so it is sent as JSON
// See https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/tweets/manage-tweets/api-reference/post-tweets for all options
$response = $connection->post('tweets', ['text' => 'Hello Twitter'], true);
if (isset($response['title']) && $response['title'] == 'Unauthorized') {
// Handle error
} else {
var_dump($response);
/*
object(stdClass)#404 (1) {
["data"]=>
object(stdClass)#397 (2) {
["id"]=>
string(19) "0123456789012345678"
["text"]=>
string(13) "Hello Twitter"
}
}
*/
}
