If you own a page that has a circle, and you'd like to add people to that circle programmatically, how would you do so? Would it be something similar to:
curl `ruby file_that_outputs_new_people_to_add.rb` 'https://plus.google.com/{pageid}'
What other attributes would you need to include and where in this process would you add oAuth details?
You can't... yet. From the Google+ API documentation:
Note: The Google+ API currently provides read-only access to public data. All API calls require either an OAuth 2.0 token or an API key.
Read-write access with three-legged OAuth is planned, but until there's a documented API for that functionality, there really is no way to do what you're asking.
They offer it now in Google+ Domains API under Circles and addPeople. https://developers.google.com/+/domains/api/circles/addPeople
I recommend looking at Google's own "Google API Client". They have a method which discovers their own API: API Discovery

I can't figure out what public data means in Google Docs API guides.
Reading the Google Docs API guide authorizing section, we find that for public data the OAuth 2.0 is not necessary, then I tried using patchupdate to update a document which is shared to edit for anyone with the link, and I could not get it to work because the API returns an authentication error.
So the questions are, what is API key for and what does Google mean with public data?
I understand that you refer to the «If the request doesn't require authorization (such as a request for public data), then the application must provide either the API key or an OAuth 2.0 token, or both» part. It says that you should use either an API key or an OAuth 2.0 token (or both), whatever is more convenient for your project. In this guide you can learn more about how to communicate with Google APIs using OAuth 2.0. Meanwhile in this documentation you can see the approach used with API keys. Please don't hesitate to ask me to clarify myself.
I am trying without success to "Add Google Sign-In to Your Web App" and then use Node.js with Google Sheets API V4 to be able allow my app to use the sheets api on behalf of the user (with scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets).
I'm really confused on how to achieve this. Reading through most of the documentation from OAuth2 doesn't clarify me best practices to achieve this with the Google Sign-In button.
Furthermore, I haven't found any documentation/guides related to this. I was hoping someone can guide me towards the right direction.
P.S: I managed to use the sheets api by following the Node.js quickstart for Sheets API, which allows me to achieve authorization through console, however I believe using the Sign-In button might simplify the process while making a nicer UX.
Thanks!
Google Sign-In is like what it says, for signing-in. However, it's not enough to authorize you to use Sheets API methods because if you read the Authorize Requests docs, it clearly states that you need to use OAuth2 plus there are scopes to consider (read-only, read/write, etc).
You are correct to follow the guidelines where you used OAuth2.0. Just create your own custom button. Grab a Google button image in the web and use that.
I want to integrate gmail and google calendar in my web application. I can login via google and make api calls to either gmail OR google calendar API, depending on the authorisation that I request from google.
I have not found a way to request authorisation for more than one APIs simultaneously. Is this even possible? Is it possible to receive one access token in order to use it for requests against more than one of Google's APIs?
As far as I know it can be done. If you try testing it in Google Oauth 2.0 Playground and select multiple API scopes.
"scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar https://mail.google.com/ https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"
It should look like this:
Hope this helps.
Facebook Applications can request details about themselves, which is helpful as we only need to grab the id and secret for an application and can load the rest from Facebook. Is it possible to do the same with googles API acces?
It doesn't seem possible to introspect with the Google API.
I am looking for a list of all possible scope values for use with the Google OAuth 2.0 enabled API's, such as:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/urlshortener
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks
I got lost in the Google API docs and can't find a page containing such information. Where can I find it?
Thanks.
These are available on google oauth playground Here and here. may not be full but most are available there.
You can get a list of all scopes in all Google api's here
It also list which scopes each api needs to execute.
