Documentation: php quickstart tool

[GruppoCO]

Hi,
I need to authenticate with OAuth2, but it seems that the php quickstart tool link doesn't exists anymore. How can I get the credentials.json and token.json?

[NowakAdmin]

credentials json -> https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/calendar-json.googleapis.com/credentials

i cant get token.json, php quickstart tool vanished, there are only javascript page to test aplication - I can log on mine and get events list in google demo but I can't in laravel.

You can get the token.json from https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground. Choose "Use your own credentials" in the settings, provide them, and complete steps 1 and 2 this will show the JSON for the token like:
{
"access_token": "",
"scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.settings.readonly ",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3599,
"refresh_token": ""
}

Copy this and put it in the oauth-token.json file. You do not need to complete step 3.

Hi @egvoncannon where I can get oauth-credentials.json

[AIC-BV]

Hi @egvoncannon, doesn't this expire after one hour?
I copy pasted the reply but after a while the playground says that it is expired.

This doesn't seem to work anymore. After the selecting scopes step, you pick an account, then are redirected to "an error happened" page and then to your account homepage without further explanation.

Why is this such a PAIN in freaking 2024.

Hi @sebastiandedeyne and @freekmurze It appears the credentials setup guide is out of date as I'm facing this issue as well.
I'd like to create a PR updating the setup part of the ReadMe.md so it matches what new users of the package should expect to see. What do you think?

[freekmurze]

Feel free to send a PR.

[nxmndr]

@freekmurze If you are not able to maintain compatibility (understandable, life and all that), which is the point of the package, then please mark it as unmaintained. People loose hours (and hair) on this.

[hmrst]

@theafolayan do you have a solution in how to get the token json file or the quickstart guide?

[esghendry]

Still no fix... Anyone?

[theafolayan]

We have a fix and would be making it open source soon. Oluwaseun Raphael Oluwaseun

Great, but what does your 'soon' mean?

[AliN11]

I cannot start using this package because of this error. Any ideas?

[egvoncannon]

See my response and NowakAdmin's above to get token and credentials from Google.

[egvoncannon]

If you don't use your own credentials it will assume you are testing and expire after one hour. Ideally you should create a service account and provide it's credentials.

Hello, I'm asking you, I was doing a little research, the technique that you put at the beginning of the comments worked for me, the problem is that I cannot refresh the token, normally the token expires after 60 minutes, after that the package does not have a function to refresh, I tried to do it manually, but it keeps throwing me an error.

Google\Service\Exception
{ "error": "invalid_grant", "error_description": "Token has been expired or revoked." }

I clarify that everything works fine for me while I use the token that I generated with the official Google documentation, I log in, I get the token, I place it in storage/app/google-calendar/oauth-token.json
All this works correctly, what happens to me is that the token expires and I cannot consult or create more events in the calendar

[egvoncannon]

Honestly, it has been a while since I worked with the Oauth playground. As I recall, providing your own credentials is how you stop the token from expiring after an hour. I am sure others have more, and more recent, experience with the issue. I posted here in hopes it would help others with the same issue. Please provide feedback if you solve your issue. Good luck!

I have the same issue... I had to switch from service account to oauth2 and I have realized that php quickstart is no longer available.
I have no idea how to generate the credentials.json and token.json. Any tocken expires in 60 minutes... Has anybody found a solution?

[EmilioPuljiz]

Hello, I had several problems similar to yours, I switched to using the plugin https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client

I'm doing great, I was able to create everything! If you need help write to me on my linkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilio-puljiz/
