I would like to simply fetch some data from Google Search Console via API. I am struggling with Oauth2 for days but to be hones I don't really know what is it, and how it should be used. I don't really mind about security, it is not a super secret project, so I am trying to get some data with a simple API key, but it doesn't work neither.
I have an API key what I generated in Google Cloud Console
I am trying to get data with Postman based on this example, but I always get 404 error.
**Can you help me what do I wrong? It shouldn't be so complicated. **
You're using the wrong url; webmaster should be webmasters. See here
Additionally, once you solve that you will get a 401 using only an API token. You need to use OAuth. If you want this to run regularly, you can authorize it once with an account and use something called a refresh token.

I have a flutter application with a DRF back end. currently using Dj-rest-auth for regular authentication (token).
I'm at a point where I'd like to implement social authentication (specifically Google).
I searched a few resources but still don't quite get the workflow.
https://github.com/iMerica/dj-rest-auth/pull/336/commits/8f5cc65049c4bcb0c650bde707f5023013497b20
my guess is:
you set up your application on google cloud console.
You make a request to get an "access token" to the google auth on the Frontend (in my case flutter)
send that access token to your Back end - django to confirm. which then sends back a regular token for authentication?
Any guidance would be appreciate.
Your guess is accurate.
The exact flow would be to:
Set up API credentials on Google cloud console
Use Sign in with google which gives you an object with a token.
Use the recieved token to hit your dj-rest-auth endpoint for google authentication and mint your own jwt token and return it.
Now, depending on whether your requirement is for flutter or django I could help better with code referrences for it.
I have api_key for my project on google cloud and I am able to generate authorization code via client_id and subsequently auth token using authorization code.
What is the rest api code to retrieve tenant information ? Can anyone please put a curl command for that.
Have a look at the documentation about how to get tenants list using API; even more - yoo can test it yourself using the pane on the right.
Another piece of documentation you might be interested in to help you understand how this particular API works and what kind of reply you might expect.
More genral explanation of how to construct API's requests you can find here.
I'm trying to connect my website's API and mobile app. I need to authenticate the user with google account but I don't know how to do it.
I created the backend with Django. And I set the endpoint as rest-auth/google/. On the restframework's page, it requires Access Token and Code but honestly I don't get how I can test if it actually works using actual google account.
I want to test from mobile app but I don't understand how and what I need to POST.
Anyone could give me tips?
I would recommend you to use a ready solution like "django-allauth".
If you want to do authentication yourself you might want to read Google's documentation about the topic:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/
In nutshell you create API credentials:
https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
Send a user to a link with specific parameters (api-credentials, scope, redirect link etc). Google client can help you to generate it.
A user will login in his account as he would normally do and will give your app permissions to use his information (or won't). After that he will be redirected to the link you specified with GET request with a code as a parameter (or error).
With help of Google client you can exchange the code on a token and then use that token to get information from his profile.
I am a new bee in using POSTMAN - Rest Client - Chrome API
I want to use the Basic Auth which is available in POSTMAN.
I am trying to login into my Google account at url - "https://www.gmail.com".
I provided my Username & Password in the Basic Auth and I had tried GET and POST.
I got a Status 200 OK which loads me the home page but it is not logged in.
I know that i need to change the url, but i am not able to find the correct one which to use?
It would be helpful if #examples are provided for the Different Types of Auth Provided as well.
The link you have provided is deprecated. I don't know if the Gmail API allowed Basic Auth at the time you asked the question, but right now it needs OAuth 2.0, as indicated in the opening lines here.
The correct url is https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth, and this link explains how to supply the parameters.
If I remember correctly, Google stopped allowing http clients(like Postman) accessing its APIs through Basic Auth one year back or more. Now, Google allowing its APIs to be accessed using OAuth 2.0.
For accessing Google APIs, you need to setup an OAuth Application, here
When you create this OAuth Application, Google will generate ClientId and ClientSecret.
With these clientId and clientSecret, you need to generate Access and Refresh Tokens and eventually, you will use these tokens to access Google APIs.
Read more about Google OAuth 2.0 and you will get more information about accessing APIs.
I'm trying to create Facebook test accounts using the graph API. (I need to be able to log into them from my iphone app). Here's how I'm getting the app access token:
https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=MY-CLIENT-ID&client_secret=MY-CLIENT-SECRET
which seems to work fine. And here's how I'm trying to create a user:
https://graph.facebook.com/MY-APP-ID/accounts/test-users?installed=true&name=TestUser1&permissions=read_stream&method=post&access_token=MY-APP-ACCESS-TOKEN
The response I'm getting is:
This method must be called with an app access_token
I looked at this post Problem with access token while creating Facebook Test Users. Not really familiar with PHP, and just to make sure, I did try to "url encode" the app access token returned before using it... but no goodness.
I'm using Fiddler to test my posts.
Thanks!
Facebook doesn't support test users for Native Mobile App

hope this helps
Did you remove the 'access_token=' part from access token that's returned from the first request? If not, then you'll have an incorrect request on the second call, since the URL will have 'access_token=' twice.
