I am developing a gadget (html, JS) to run inside (Google Calendar page).
I need to show user's tasks there so I need a connection to Google Task Api.
I need to use OAuth2 authorization and such requests as:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/users/@me/lists
GET https://www.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/tasklist/tasks
Unfortunately I havent found description or samples for gadgets withOAuth2` authorization.
Could you please tell me what will the OAuth2 section look like in this case?
<OAuth2>
<Service name="[service_name]">
<Authorization url="https://.../authorize"/>
<Token url="https://.../oauth2/token"/>
</Service>
</OAuth2>
Could you please approve this code for a request? (JS)
function loadContents(){
var url = "https://www.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/users/@me/lists?alt=json";
var params = {};
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.JSON;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION]=gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.OAUTH2;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.OAUTH_SERVICE_NAME] ="[service_name]";
var callback = function (response) {
if (response.oauthApprovalUrl) {
...
}
};
gadgets.io.makeRequest(url, callback, params);
}
The Gadgets API framework doesn't support OAuth2. The Tasks API does support OAuth1 however, so you may still be able to get things working.
The answer is - using OAuth instead of OAuth 2.0.
OAuth section should be:
<OAuth>
<Service name="google">
<Access url="https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken" method="GET" />
<Request url="https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks" method="GET" />
<Authorization url="https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken?oauth_callback=http://oauth.gmodules.com/gadgets/oauthcallback" />
</Service>
</OAuth>
The request is [JS]:
var params = {};
url = "https://www.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/users/@me/lists?key=YOUR_API_KEY";
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.CONTENT_TYPE] = gadgets.io.ContentType.JSON;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.AUTHORIZATION] = gadgets.io.AuthorizationType.OAUTH;
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.OAUTH_SERVICE_NAME] = "google";
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.OAUTH_USE_TOKEN] = "always";
params[gadgets.io.RequestParameters.METHOD] = gadgets.io.MethodType.GET;
To use OAuth1 for Google Tasks API we need an API key.
