Get user info via Google API
scope - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile
return youraccess_token = access_token
get https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json&access_token=youraccess_token
you will get json:
{
"id": "xx",
"name": "xx",
"given_name": "xx",
"family_name": "xx",
"link": "xx",
"picture": "xx",
"gender": "xx",
"locale": "xx"
}
To Tahir Yasin:
This is a php example.
You can use json_decode function to get userInfo array.
$q = 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token=xxx';
$json = file_get_contents($q);
$userInfoArray = json_decode($json,true);
$googleEmail = $userInfoArray['email'];
$googleFirstName = $userInfoArray['given_name'];
$googleLastName = $userInfoArray['family_name'];
Add this to the scope - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile
And after authorization is done, get the information from - https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json
It has loads of stuff - including name, public profile url, gender, photo etc.
This scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile has been deprecated now. Please look at https://developers.google.com/+/api/auth-migration#timetable.
New scope you will be using to get profile info is: profile or https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login
and the endpoint is - https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/{userId} - userId can be just 'me' for currently logged in user.
