get Google client using access token

Question

I already stored the access and refresh token in my database. I want get the google client using that. I don't know how to use it in below example

$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient('[email protected]', 'password', Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME);
$service = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets($client);

// Get worksheet feed
$query = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets_DocumentQuery();
$query->setSpreadsheetKey('your spreadsheet key');
$feed = $spreadsheetService->getWorksheetFeed($query);

I want replace email and password with access token. Someone help me how to do that. I tried below. but I got only exception

Caught exception: Expected response code 200, got 401

and Stateless token expired

$client = Zend_Gdata_AuthSub::getHttpClient('ya29.XXXXXXX'); 

Another try,

$client = new Zend_Gdata_HttpClient();
$session_token =Zend_Gdata_AuthSub::getAuthSubSessionToken('ya29.XXXXXXX',$client);
$client->setAuthSubToken($sessionToken);

Caught exception: Token upgrade failed. Reason:

I think you are mixing things up.

ClientLogin and AuthSub are different authentication APIs (both deprecated). The ClientLogin token expires after two weeks or earlier (see: https://developers.google.com/gdata/faq#clientlogin_expire). You can use the token as long as it does not expire by calling the setter setClientLoginToken of Zend_Gdata_HttpClient.

Example:

$client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient('[email protected]', 'password', Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME);
$token = $client->getClientLoginToken();
//Save to DB / in session / whatever
$client = new Zend_Gdata_HttpClient();
$client->setClientLoginToken($token);
//Do stuff

You can also cache the whole HttpClient object with Zend_Cache.

AuthSub or OAuth 2.0 (better, but no classes provided by ZF) is maybe better for your needs, because the tokens do not expire (AuthSub) or can be refreshed (OAuth2)
