NAME

WebService::Google::Client - Server-side client library for any Google App API. Based on Moose

VERSION

version 0.07

SYNOPSIS

Generate an access token JSON file per the instructions in "GETTING STARTED" below. You will then be able to make API calls to Google's authorization servers on a resource owner's behalf like so:

use WebService::Google::Client;

my $gapi = WebService::Google::Client->new(log_level => 'debug');
# my $gapi = WebService::Google::Client->new(access_token => '');
my $user = 'resource_owner@gmail.com'; # full gmail address of resource owner

$gapi->auth_storage->setup({type => 'jsonfile', path => '/path' }); # by default
# $gapi->auth_storage->setup({ type => 'dbi', path => 'DBI object' });  # NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
# $gapi->auth_storage->setup({ type => 'mongodb', path => 'details' }); # NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

$gapi->user($user);
$gapi->do_autorefresh(1);

my $r1 = $gapi->Calendar->Events->list({ calendarId => 'primary' })->json;
warn scalar @{$r1->{items}};

See unit test in xt folder for more examples.

NOTE: Due to current limitations in the module, you may need to resort to a lower level method, api_query to generate the API call. A fix to overcome this limitation will be in the works, soon. This lower level method looks something like this:

my $gapi = WebService::Google::Client->new(debug => 0);
my $user = 'me@gmail.com';

$gapi->auth_storage->setup({ type => 'jsonfile', path => 'config.json' });
$gapi->user($user);
$gapi->do_autorefresh;

$res = $gapi->api_query( {
    httpMethod => 'get',
    path => 'https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people/me',
    options => { personFields => 'emailAddresses' }
});

DESCRIPTION

This module, still undergoing heavy development, provides an OAuth 2.0 server-side web application flow to all of the Google API services.

GETTING STARTED

A basic familiarity with the OAuth 2.0 process will be helpful in getting started using this module. Or, you can use this module to assist you in getting hands on experience with OAuth 2.0 and its terminology.

Set up your project with Google

To develop with this module, you must have a user account with Google as well as a developer account both of which can be obtained from Google after acceoptance of their terms and conditions. Consult Google for more information on establishing these accounts.

Next, you will need to register a project with Google using the Google Developer Console and find the interface for creating OAuth2 cient ID credentials for the project. There, you will be asked to configure a "consent screen." The consent screen the interface used by a resource owner (which will be just you, the developer, at first) to give your Google project authorization to access their data using Google's API calls. The consent screen does not have to be verified since it is not public. Simply supply an "Application name" for the consent screen and hit "Save." Finish the process by creating an "Other" application type. You can come back and set up additional consent screens later.

Finally, you will need to configure your project to enable the various APIs and services you want your module to access on behalf of the resource owners. Consult Google's documentation for more detailed information on configuring your project and its APIs.

Generate the access token file

Once your project is set up with the OAuth 2.0 credentials and has APIs enabled, you now need to ask the resource owner (in this case you) for permission to access their data. This is done by using the goauth utility in the bin directory of this module. Before using it, you need to manually configure the scopes you will ask permission from the user to access. Unfortunately, these scopes are hard coded into this module at the bottom of the WebService/Google/Client/Server.pm module in the __DATA__. This will be improved in the near future. For now, qdd your scopes to the scope key. The scope is a URL and are listed here.

Once the scopes are added, execute the bin/goauth script. If you have the `WebService::Google::Client` module installed, issue the `goauth` command from the command line. Otherwise, do `perl -Ilib bin/goauth` from the module's home directory.

The `goauth` utility will prompt you for the client_id and client_secret both which are available through the Google console. Once entered, the goauth utility will launch a basic webserver on your local machine for delivering displayin web pages you will use to authorize access to your data. To access the web pages, point your browser to 127.0.0.1:3001 and click on the "Click here to get Mojo tokens" link. You will next see a web page from Google. Follow the prompts to log in and/or approve the request to access your data for the scopes listed. Once the process is complete, a config.json file will be generated for you in your directory. This JSON file contains the tokens used by this module to make API requests on behalf of you, the resource owner.

After you run some tests and verify everything is in working order, you can set to work setting up a public facing consent screen so WebService::Google::Client can get scope authorization from other resource owners and begin making API requests on their behalf.

Use Google API documentation to help generate the API calls

See the "SYNOPSIS" above and the appropriate Google API documentation located at the URLs listed in the "SUPPORTED APIs" to you help you generate API calls to Google. Note that this module may not know how to construct all API calls using the syntax in the "SYNOPSIS." In such cases, you can use the lower level api_query method to generate API calls more directly. See this helpful post on Perlmonks.org for more information.

KEY FEATURES

Object-oriented calls by API->Resource->method schema. Like $gapi->Calendar->Events->lists
Classes are generated dynamically using Moose::Meta::Class based on Google API Discovery Service
Different app credentials (client_id, client_secret, users access_token && refresh_token) storage - json file, DBI, MongoDB (u can add your own even)
Automatic access_token refresh (if user has refresh_token) and saving refreshed token to storage
CLI tool (goauth) with lightweight server for easy OAuth2 authorization and getting access_ and refresh_ tokens

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

On 2018-10-03, this project was forked from the Moo::Google project which stagnated and has apparently been abandoned. As designed, this module does not function with all possible Google API calls but will work with simpler API calls. However, to our knowledge, all API calls with the exception of batch API calls, can be made via the lower level api_aquery method. This is documented here:

https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1219833
