Name, Email from Google's OAuth API

Question

I want to allow users to login with google on a site and collect their name and email address but I can't find any documentation on the userinfo scope for google's api: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.

Thanks

Answer 1

This is a better way to get the name and email.

Set your scopes to:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email

and

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile

And use the endpoint:

https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json

That will get you all you need!

Answer 2

I use http://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people/ and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo#email as the scope of the request tokens.

The protected resource url is https://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people/@me/@self to get the current user's data.

I get the user's G+ profile and name. I'm not able yet to get the user's email but I think i'm close

Answer 3

Retrieve OAuth userinfo using the Google Python API:

https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/guide/aaa_oauth

import httplib2
from apiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client.client import OAuth2WebServerFlow

http = httplib2.Http()
http = credentials.authorize(http)

users_service = build('oauth2', 'v2', http=http)
user_document = users_service.userinfo().get().execute()
