How do i use oauth on google drive?


Asked by Cara Flowers on Dec 04, 2021 OAuth 2.0 Series



Since OAuth via JWT is automatic, no user interaction is involved. Just create a Service Account, generate a key in JSON format, and "share" your Drive folder with that service account ( [email protected] ).
Additionally,
In OAuth 2.0 Playground Step 1, select the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive for the Google Drive API and click Authorize APIs, then click Allow to generate the authorization code. In OAuth 2.0 Playground Step 2, click Exchange authorization code for tokens to generate the OAuth access token.
Also Know, Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials from the Google API Console. Visit the Google API Console to obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials such as a client ID and client secret that are known to both Google and your application. The set of values varies based on what type of application you are building.
Besides,
Google APIs use the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization. Google supports common OAuth 2.0 scenarios such as those for web server, client-side, installed, and limited-input device applications. To begin, obtain OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Google API Console.
Keeping this in consideration,
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.
