I have set a setup of Google Drive sample DriEdit code in my wesite. It is authenticating user file but once authentication done it take back user to the redirect url, but when i am using default FULL_AUTH_URL url it working file, but in my case it is not working here is my URl.
const FULL_AUTH_URL='https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file&client_id=MY_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&access_type=offline&approval_prompt=force&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com';
You need to replace:
MY_CLIENT_ID by the Client ID of your application which you can find in the Google APIs Console for the project that you have created. See https://developers.google.com/drive/register
redirect_uri bu the URL where the user gets redirect to after he approves the OAuth flow. Usually the main page of your website or a different OAuth handler. This is usually all described in the Dr Edit sample documentation. Make sure you read this: https://developers.google.com/drive/examples/python
You may need to create a "Client ID for web applications" - maybe a service account works, too (web services might be easier to connect, because for service accounts one need to install a certificate file and send it on auth).
Once oAuth is setup properly, you should at least get any error message from Google.
Just don't use the Drive API credentials, they have no function yet.
Hope this get's you started.

My aim is it to write a php script that query all events from an existing google calendar of one specific google account.
The default scripts to do this works fine.
At the moment it works so: Request my php script --> it recognizes that is has no $_GET['code'] parameter --> redirect the browser to google for login --> after login google redirects back to my php script --> and the query on the calendar can be done
But what i want to do now: is that my php script performs the login into this specific google account with the username and password. I have and my script shell retrieve the $_GET['code'] parameter without any user interaction.
I have already spent lots of hours researching and testing but i have not found any solution yet.
Is that even possible? If it is there a way to pass these login datails (username and password) within the request to google authendication to the two-step login form?
In this thread is an hint to use service-accounts: Fatal error: Class 'Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials' not found
but i have not figured out how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Logging in to a google account using username and password i was called client login. Google shut this down in 2015.
This is no longer an option. If you want to access private user data you need to use Oauth2 and request authorization as you are doing currently.
service accounts
Note: to clarify #CBroe statement in comments.
Service accounts only work with google calendar if you are using a google workspace domain accounts. You would need to configure domain wide delegation and set up the service account to impersonate a user on the domain.
For standard Gmail user accounts service accounts are not possible with google calendar api.
Finally i made it with a payd google workspace subscription.
At the moment i am not able to reconstruct all the steps but i can give a few hints and ressources that helped me.
Here is an official example for the usage of a service account:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client/blob/main/examples/service-account.php
The templates/base.php file was not part of my composer installation so i had to deploy it myself. It also was necessary to adjust the path to my service-account-credentials-json-file.
Here is another thread about the same topic with some really good explanations:
Inserting Google Calendar Entries with Service Account
And then only thing that was missing in my configuration:
In the calendar settings i had to add the service accound id (with the # in it) to grant access to this service account.
For better understanding of the backgrounds i also refer to the comments in this thread.
Another hint: In the google workspace account i had to validate my domain and recreate the project with its credentials and service account.
Overall goal is trying to access (my own) Google Sheets with a server-side PHP application (not for sheets owned by individual app visitors). For this I'm hoping to use https://github.com/asimlqt/php-google-spreadsheet-client, which mentions that it doesn't handle the OAuth2 stuff, for which I can use https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client.
So in trying to follow https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/php/auth/service-accounts , it says (step 5):
The Console shows your private key's password only at this initial moment of service account creation--the password will not be shown again
However when I do those steps, it sends me a .json (with private_key_id, private_key, client_email, client_id, type), but at no point does it show me any kind of password. I have tried this with both Firefox and Chromium, tried deleting my old Service Account, making a new Service Account. Is there something else I need to enable on my Developers Console? or something else that I'm missing?
When you create a service account on the Google Api Console, usually, the file randomname.p12 will get downloaded automatically, and the password for this file will be notasecret but, if you are authenticating using the service account i beleive you dont need the password, even tho i am using it, see here check out bram answer he is authenticating using a service account, which might be what you are looking for
I'm trying to implement Google Drive API. They have quick start example here which is using Google OAuth 2.0. Using for a web application where user will use drive api for creating folder and save files, edit files etc.
Now the problem is OAuth 2.0 is redirecting the page and for authCode and then back to callbackUrl again ie. the usual way. Is there any way so that I can get the authCode without redirecting the url, by using cURL or some library that can do that without redirecting.
I'm using PHP for this app.
We currently offer an alternative flow for installed apps that doesn't redirect back to an app but outputs the exchange code. In order to be sure that user is explicitly giving permissions to your application, we need to intercept the flow for a user action.
If there are no end users involved in your use case, you may like to take a look at the service accounts: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount Service accounts also provide impersonation for Google Apps domains.
I am implemented In App Billing for android.I wanted to implement subscription validity checking through my backend server. As Google Play Documentation, for making call for Google Play API,need authentication using oauth 2.0.
I followed instructions for registering project and creating credentials. But from there I have no idea how to use those credentials, I tried authentication via CURL request, but it asking permission as shown in follwing image
This permissions works fine I can exchange code and get access token, but all this done by manually, how should I implement this on backend.
I even try to use google api php library provided by Google, but It adds confusion. Also they didn't provide any example, how to use library.
Can anybody elaborate how exactly use library or pure php?
Thanks in advance.
To perform LVL and/or IAB validation on a server, do not access Google servers directly from the server. Even if all information were available, you would face integrity problems, because your app and your server will see different information due to synchronization latencies.
Instead, use your app as a proxy and validate the Google Play information on your server as described here.
I need to create an external php web application (PHP) to connect to Google Drive using the API. Problem is that the quick start example illustrates that the user has to visit a url to obtain an authorization code to complete the authorization. Is there a way to achieve the authorization automatically without any user interaction. I need to basically copy an existing doc template automatically via the web application.
This is not possible without authorization, but is possible without user interaction. Please see the Drive SDK documentation sections on domain delegation and service accounts. Service accounts is likely what you need.
