there are oauth and oauth2 gems, but I have not found an example to connect to google with oauth
The officially supported method is to use Signet. The README contains the example code required to authenticate against the Google OAuth endpoints. See also the Google API Client for Ruby. If you have any questions on either, don't hesitate to ping me. I'm supporting both libraries.
Signet will also work for other OAuth providers. An official OmniAuth plugin is also available.
Try omniauth instead.

Here's An excellent screencast showing how its used:

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 just started to work with Google API's (Calendar and Gmail for now). I already got both examples working on both my Frontend (React) and my Backend (Java - Spring).
I have the following doubt, If I want to enable users to be able to send email's using the oficial API not javax.mail should that be done on the Backend or it can be done on Frontend? Since the official documentation only shows examples on Java and Python.
If the answer is on Backend how will users be able to authenticate via OAuth2 If they are "not supposed" to see server-side information.
Thanks
Ok for does looking for an answer. I found the following guide...
https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/server-side-flow#step_1_create_a_client_id_and_client_secret
Basically you can get a client-side one time access code which is send to server-side where it can get a long-live access_token in order to have offline access once correct authentication has happened.
I have a REST API which uses Azure Active Directory and OAuth 2.0 to authenticate.
How can I set this up using api blueprint in apiary.
I can see it works for http://docs.powerbi.apiary.io/
Just cannot seem to find an example.
Any pointers?
actually APIBlueprint does not support any authentication scheme.
However, something is definitely moving in the right direction: you can notice it looking at this pr and its subsequent discussion
Actually Apiary has some sort of private-beta OAuth 2 support but it is enabled on request and it's definitely not a feature of APIBlueprint itself (yet).
I hope this clarifies the issue.
i'm attempting to gain access to my own gmail account via a sinatra app i'm building. i'm sending a request to the google api in the form of
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&&scope=https://mail.google.com/+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile&client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http://localhost:9393/oauth2callback&access_type=online
and after I authorize the app via google's web interface, i'm getting what appears to be a correct callback to my own sinatra app. I'm unclear what I do next in this process. what i'm getting from the google auth system looks like
http://localhost:9393/oauth2callback?code=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I'm then attempting to use the xoauth gem to then query google for information about my account, ie, https://github.com/nfo/gmail_xoauth
My hope is that the xxxxxx.yyyy string above corresponds in some way to value of
:token as written in the xoauth gem documentation. when I run a local script to check if things are working correctly, i'm getting a Invalid credentials (Failure) (Net::IMAP::NoResponseError)
the documentation i'm using to understand the oauth process is https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer
i don't think i'm handling the callback correctly or either i'm misinterpreting what it is.
Thoughts?
Google has only added support for OAuth 2 authorization for GMail IMAP/SMTP recently. The library you are using however does not support this yet.
So your options are:
Improving the library yourself (would be my recommendation)
Waiting for the library to update
Falling back to the already deprecated OAuth 1
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.
