I am going to use the Nodejs google api client(google-api-nodejs-client) to post a photo to my google+. (I have listed all my code at end of this post.)
Let me introduce a little bit background:
I have created a project on: console.developers.google.com
I have enabled google+ domain API for this project.
I have created credentials for this project as well. (it is a OAuth 2.0 client ID)
I have a little bit experience of using the client (google-api-nodejs-client) and I can post images and files to my google drive by it.
However, posting to google+ photo is different, the auth is the key different. I have tried several different ways, but none of them works.
The api always return me this:
{ [Error: Forbidden]
code: 403,
errors: [ { domain: 'global', reason: 'forbidden', message: 'Forbidden' } ] }
I also found this:
Warning: The Google+ Sign-In button and the plus.login scope used by Google+ Sign-In, are not currently supported for use with the Google+ Domains API. Requests that are made to the Google+ Domains API using an authentication token granted for the www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login scope, or generated by the Google+ Sign-In button, will fail.
If it doesn't support the sign-button, what does it support?
This page tell me to add a domain delegation (https://developers.google.com/+/domains/authentication/delegation), but i haven't push my program into any server, i just try to run it locally.
I was wondering if it is possible to use this client to post photo to google+ by run a nodejs program locally?
var CLIENT_ID = "xxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com";
var CLIENT_SECRET = "xxxxxxxx";
var REDIRECT_URL = "https://xxxxxxx";
var readline = require('readline');
var async = require('async');
var google = require('googleapis');
var request = require('request');
var OAuth2 = google.auth.OAuth2;
var oauth2Client = new OAuth2(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT_URL);
var rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});
function getAccessToken (oauth2Client, callback) {
// generate consent page url
var scopes = [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.read',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.write',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.read',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.write',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.media.upload'
];
var url = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
access_type: 'offline', // 'online' (default) or 'offline' (gets refresh_token)
scope: scopes, // If you only need one scope you can pass it as string,
key: 'p7UALH460Deqodhvb2zESYya'
});
console.log('Visit the url: ', url);
rl.question('Enter the code here:', function (code) {
// request access token
oauth2Client.getToken(code, function (err, tokens) {
if (err) {
return callback(err);
}
// set tokens to the client
// TODO: tokens should be set by OAuth2 client.
oauth2Client.setCredentials(tokens);
console.dir(tokens);
callback();
});
});
}
getAccessToken(oauth2Client, function () {
var plusDomains = google.plusDomains({ version: 'v1', auth: oauth2Client });
var requestObj = request({url:'http://asset1.cxnmarksandspencer.com/is/image/mands/2643f540b32fe8c6cccdec95b3a2c5239166232f?$editorial_430x430$'});
const Readable = require('stream').Readable;
var iamgeStream = new Readable().wrap(requestObj);
plusDomains.media.insert({
userId: 'me',
collection: 'cloud',
resource: {
name: 'testimage.png',
mimeType: 'image/png'
},
media: {
mimeType: 'image/png',
body: iamgeStream
},
access:{domainRestricted :"true"}
}, callbackFn);
function callbackFn(argument) {
console.dir(argument);
}
});
Thanks you very much! Peter
