I need to automate some flow on google workspace, now I'm stuck at Activating Gmail via API, I couldn't find any resource or example anywhere.
Appreciate for any help pointing out the reference or answer.
Update:
So I have google workspace and I am working on automate user and their gmail account. From the screenshot I can simply click on "Activate Gmail" and it will check against my MX records and have it activated, but I'm looking for a solution where I can do it from google API using Ruby.
For this one, you will most likely make use of Directory API's users.update instead of Gmail API. Gmail API only enables you to access gmail settings and the emails, not the user settings.
Sadly, I haven't found any fields dedicated for activating/enabling Gmail. The closest thing I found was isMailboxSetup, but it only identifies if the user have its Gmail activated.
Indicates if the user's Google mailbox is created. This property is only applicable if the user has been assigned a Gmail license.
Given the circumstances above, you might need to do it manually. For more info regarding the subject, visit the reference below.

I'm trying to set up a google service account for Google Calendar API to create and update events for my specific calendar.
I've set up my service account, got the credential keys and also enabled the domain wide delegation. For most of the part it does work, however I can not access my specific calendar (not able to share it with my service account).
When I paste the service account email to the share textbox in google calendar settings it does not show anything to add.
This is a really frustrating blocker, so if anyone has encountered this or has any insights it would be greatly appreciated :)
You do not need to explicitly share your calendar with the service account.
If you want to create an event with your service account for your calendar, you need to set up your service account in such a way that it impersonates you.
The official Google documentation gives examples of how to perform Perform G Suite Domain-Wide Delegation in different languages. It is also important to do so in Apps Script.
Important: In your Admin console you need to Manage API client access and give the service account the necessary scope
(https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events) to create events on
your behalf.
I am trying to enable Gmail API following steps in Java Quickstart. When I click on "Enable the Gmail API" button in the Google developer console, no option like "Download Client Configuration" is displayed.
So, I am unable to get credentials.json File.
Gmail API credentials are restricted to enhance apps security. To enable the credentials click on API Console after clicking on Enable the Gmail API. You will travel to a filled form on the Credentials menu on Google APIs. You can change there the name and/or restrictions to better suit your project. Finally, you can click on Generate key to finish the process.
If you have followed the steps so far, you would have created the Gmail API credentials. To achieve your request you will need to click on Download JSON button on the right side of your newly created credentials. Do not hesitate to ask for more information if I haven't explained the process with enough detail.
Just enabling the Gmail api isnt going to create client credential for you. Unfortunately the developer console changes more often then the quick starts get updated so it can be difficult to understand.
Go to the https://console.developers.google.com
Find the credentials tab on the left and click the Create credentials button
You are probably going to be looking for an oauth client id, as service accounts only work with gmail if you are connecting to a gsuite account.
I am trying to access Google play developer API https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/ to build an inapp purchase product for my company Application.
We have to get authorization to make a GET call to the Google play developer API. https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/purchases/subscriptions/get
I followed the steps presented here. https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/authorization
Created an Oauth client and and also service account. The gmail account I used was part of the 'Users and permissions' in play.google.com console.
But when I tried to access the API, I got an error
As I started searching about this error, I understood that there is something else called 'API Access' in play.google.com. When I tried to access it, All I saw was
But I saw in other posts that there exists a screen with details like
https://i.stack.imgur.com/Hdjjy.png
So how can I go forward to access API. I did everything as mentioned in documentation of google but it didnt work. Also I dont have access to see the screen of 'API Access'.
Also I am confused, if you can create service accounts from both 'API Access' screen and also from 'credentials' screen in console.developers.com, which one should be used ?
Just to check you understand there are a few different APIs to do with in-app purchases.
Play billing library is designed to be used in your app. This is what allows users to buy things from your app
Configuring in app products. When your app supports in-app products you have to support what the products are and the prices. This is done via the Play console, either manually or in batches uploading CSV files.
Finally is the API you refer to in your question. This is not designed for use in your app, and you don't have to use it to support in-app products. Instead this API allows your server (not app) to validate a user's purchase. In order to use this API, you need to enable the "API access" in the page you found. This can only be enabled by the account owner for the Play console, for security reasons. You will need to find the Owner of your Google Play account, and get them to log in and create a service account which has API access.
I am able to access it now. I am not the owner of the Google Play console.That was the issue. You just have to go to API Access page and click on "create OAuth Client" or "create Service Account ".
You can use those credentials to access API from postman or through your code.
Just looking for some general advice here.
I want to build a Slack app and publish it publicly to the Slack App Directory, for anyone to use. The basics of the app are:
When you paste a link to a specific domain in a Slack message, a bot will fetch additional information about that link from a Rest API my company built.
The roadblock I'm running into is that our Rest API uses Basic Auth for authentication, and I can't figure how or where in the Slack App setup flow to ask the user to enter their API key.
Does anyone have any advice on how to ask for user input when setting up a Slack app, so that the user can enter their API Key for our REST API?
Thanks!
OK, I will assume that the API key is individual to each user.
I would suggest to ask the API key as part of the installation process for your Slack app on your website and then store the connection between Slack user ID and API key as part of the installation process. It is in fact possible to have individual installations of the same Slack app to a workspace for each user. This is called "configurations" (e.g. the Twitter app for Slack is using this feature).
This requires each user who want to use the app to go through the installation process and also all users need to have permissions to install this particular Slack app (which can be configured by admin).
I'm making an application that requires access to the shared/room-resource calendars in an Office 365 instance, using non-admin accounts. I've registered an app (in the Microsoft Application Registration Portal) using the V2 endpoint and Auth Code Grant. This successfully allows me to log in, and gives me a functional token with the Calendars.ReadWrite.Shared scope. With this token, I can retrieve my own calendars, and calendars that have been explicitly shared with me (and therefore added to my list of calendars). All of this is doable with just the normal Calendars.ReadWrite scope.
However, I get errors when requesting access to any other shared calendars, like the room calendars. Here's an example. If I make a GET call to https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/my-own-email#business.com/calendars it successfully returns a list of my calendars. If I make a GET call to https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/meetingroom1.4#business.com/calendars I get a 404 (Not Found) Error. The same error occurs for any other user, not just meeting rooms. Note that I can see these calendars when I'm logged into Office 365 online with the same account.
A different error occurs if I ask for events not calendars. If I make a GET call to https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/meetingroom1.4#business.com/events, I get a 500 (Internal Server) Error.
I've checked all the other threads I can find on the issue, and this one from November How to access shared calendars from Office REST API? says there's some kind of blocking issue on Microsoft's end. It's using the Office REST API rather than Graph, but on the back-end the APIs call the same stuff. Is this issue still about? Alternatively, am I missing some further permissions? I tried adding quite a few different permissions on top of Calendars.ReadWrite.Shared, but none of them fixed it. Is there a correct combination?
Thanks so much for any help, and let me know if any other info would be useful for diagnosis.
So if anyone else happens to be interested in this, I figured out a way to access room resource calendars without using the Calendars.ReadWrite.Shared permission. This allows you to use just the Calendars.ReadWrite permission to access the room resources, by moving them into the list of calendars of the email you're authenticating with. However, it will only work for specific accounts that you share the calendars with, so won't be usable in apps that have to work for any account. This is good enough for my use-case, but may not be for yours.
First, find or make an account that is a delegate to, and has full access to, the room resource calendar you want to use. On that account click 'Open another mailbox' in the dropdown list under your profile image.
Open another mailbox location
In the pop-up that follows, put in the email address of the room resource calendar that you want to use.
Then, on the new page that opens (which should be the Office account of the room resource calendar):
Navigate to the calendar page
Click 'Share'
Share the default calendar with the account you plan to authenticate with.
Then log into that 'authentication' account, check its email for the notification of the shared calendar, and click 'accept'. What this will do is move the calendar into the authenticated account's list of calendars, meaning you can access it with just a call to the https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/calendars endpoint. You'll have to repeat it for every calendar you want to be able to access, sadly.
