Struggling to store token for AdSense API - google-api

Question

I've successfully managed to connect to the AdSense API and run a report. However, it requires a log in each time I run it, so it won't run as a cron job.
I've found a few other questions related to this. Some advise a service account, while others point out that a service account does not work with AdSense. The proposed solution is to store a token on my server, but I've been struggling to get that to work. Here is my code so far (which works, but requires manual log in):
$scriptUri = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adsense.readonly');
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApplicationName('My Application name');
$client->setClientId(' MY ID ');
$client->setClientSecret(' MY SECRET ');
$client->setRedirectUri($scriptUri);
$client->setDeveloperKey(' MY KEY '); // API key
$accountId = " MY ACCOUNT " ;
$adClientId = " MY CLIENT " ;
// $service implements the client interface, has to be set before auth call
$service = new Google_Service_AdSense($client);
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { // logout: destroy token
unset($_SESSION['token']);
die('Logged out.');
}
if (isset($_GET['code'])) { // we received the positive auth callback, get the token and store it in session
$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
}
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) { // extract token from session and configure client
$token = $_SESSION['token'];
$client->setAccessToken($token);
}
if (!$client->getAccessToken()) { // auth call to google
$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
header("Location: ".$authUrl);
die;
}
$startDate = '2015-11-01';
$endDate = 'today';
$optParams = array(
'metric' => array(
'EARNINGS'),
'dimension' => array('DATE'),
'sort' => '+DATE',
'filter' => array(
'CUSTOM_CHANNEL_NAME==Mega Seating Plan'
)
);
// Run report.
$report = $service->accounts_reports->generate($accountId, $startDate,
$endDate, $optParams);
if (isset($report) && isset($report['rows'])) {
// Get results.
foreach($report['rows'] as $row) {
$date = $row[0] ;
$earnings[$date] = $row[1] ;
}
} else {
print "No rows returned.\n";
}
Can anybody give me any pointers about how I can incorporate token storage into the above code, please?

Thank you to #jkns.co for the previous answer here which helped me to get it working.
Here's my final code:
$scriptUri = "I HAD TO PUT MY ABSOLUTE URL HERE, OTHERWISE THE CRON JOB WOULD LOOK IN THE WRONG PLACE" ;
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adsense.readonly');
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApprovalPrompt ("force"); // This line had to be added to force the approval prompt and request a new token
$client->setApplicationName('My Application name');
$client->setClientId('BLAH');
$client->setClientSecret('BLAH');
$client->setRedirectUri($scriptUri);
$client->setDeveloperKey('BLAH'); // API key
$accountId = "BLAH" ;
$adClientId = "BLAH" ;
// $service implements the client interface, has to be set before auth call
$service = new Google_Service_AdSense($client);
if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { // logout: destroy token
unset($_SESSION['token']);
die('Logged out.');
}
if (isset($_GET['code'])) { // we received the positive auth callback, get the token and store it in session
$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
// If it successfully authenticates, I request the refresh token
$refreshToken = $client->getRefreshToken();
storeRefreshToken($refreshToken) ; // This function stores the token in MySQL
}
else { // Otherwise it loads the refresh token from MySQL
$refreshToken = getRefreshToken() ;
$client->refreshToken($refreshToken);
$_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
}
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) { // extract token from session and configure client
$token = $_SESSION['token'];
$client->setAccessToken($token);
}
if (!$client->getAccessToken()) { // auth call to google
$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
header("Location: ".$authUrl);
die;
}
