Google OAuth: Basic Steps

 Title: Google OAuth: Basic Steps


 Subtitle: A Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Google OAuth

What is OAuth?
o OAuth (Open Authorization) is a standard protocol for secure
authentication and authorization.
o Google OAuth allows applications to authenticate users and access
Google services securely.

Step 1 - Create a Google Cloud Project


 Go to Google Cloud Console
 Create a new project or select an existing one.
 Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials.
 Click Create Credentials > OAuth 2.0 Client ID.

Step 2 - Configure OAuth Consent Screen


 Set up the OAuth consent screen:
o Application Name
o Scopes (permissions requested)
o Authorized Domains
 Choose User Type: Internal (GSuite users) or External (public apps).

Step 3 - Generate OAuth Credentials


 In Credentials, click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID.
 Select Application Type:
o Web Application (for browser-based apps).
o Desktop App (for standalone apps).
 Set Authorized Redirect URIs (e.g.,
http://localhost:3000/auth/callback).
 Click Create, then copy Client ID & Client Secret.

Step 4 - Implement OAuth Flow


 Redirect users to Google’s authorization URL:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth
?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
&response_type=code
&scope=email profile
&access_type=offline
&prompt=consent
 User logs in and grants permission.
 Google redirects back with an authorization code.

Step 5 - Exchange Code for Access Token


 Send a POST request to Google's token endpoint:
curl -X POST https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token \
-d client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
-d client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
-d code=AUTH_CODE \
-d grant_type=authorization_code \
-d redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
 Response includes access token and refresh token.

Step 6 - Use Access Token


 Use the access token to access Google APIs:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo

Step 7 - Refresh Token (Optional)


 Use refresh token to get a new access token:
curl -X POST https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token \
-d client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
-d client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
-d refresh_token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN \
-d grant_type=refresh_token

Summary
1. Create a Google Cloud project & enable OAuth.
2. Set up OAuth consent screen & credentials.
3. Redirect users to Google's auth URL.
4. Exchange authorization code for an access token.
5. Use the access token to call Google APIs.
6. Refresh tokens when needed.
