How to get access token for google oauth?
My code is working, I have done mistakes in above two lines. It should be like this
byte[] buffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("code=" + code + "&client_id=xxx&client_secret=xxx&redirect_uri=xxxx&grant_type=authorization_code");
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token");
Remaining code is correct.
As I had similar problems in the process of implementing Google auth, I will post the code that works.. The last mentioned problem: error (400) Bad request could be caused by leading '?' in the above code..
string codeClient = "code="+ t +"&client_id=number.apps.googleusercontent.com&";
string secretUri = "client_secret=yoursecret&" + "redirect_uri=path&"
+ "grant_type=authorization_code";
postString = codeClient + secretUri;
string url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url.ToString());
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
UTF8Encoding utfenc = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = utfenc.GetBytes(postString);
Stream os = null;
try
{
request.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
os = request.GetRequestStream();
os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
catch
{ }
try
{
HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = webResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader responseStreamReader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
result = responseStreamReader.ReadToEnd();//parse token from result
I think you are sending the POST request to the wrong endpoint, the correct one is https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
