(JavaScript) Get Google API Access Token using JSON Private Key using NIST Time Server Date/Time

Demonstrates how to get a Google API access token using a JSON service account private key, using the NIST time server date/time rather than the local system date/time.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First, let's get the current date/time from time-c.nist.gov
var socket = new CkSocket();

// Connect to an NIST time server and read the current date/time
var maxWaitMs = 8000;
var useTls = false;
success = socket.Connect("time-c.nist.gov",37,useTls,maxWaitMs);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The time server will send a big-endian 32-bit integer representing
// the number of seconds since since 00:00 (midnight) 1 January 1900 GMT.
// The ReceiveInt32 method will receive a 4-byte integer, but returns
// true or false to indicate success.  If successful, the integer
// is obtained via the ReceivedInt property.
var bigEndian = true;
success = socket.ReceiveInt32(bigEndian);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(socket.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var dt = new CkDateTime();
dt.SetFromNtpTime(socket.ReceivedInt);

// Show the current local date/time
var bLocalTime = true;
console.log("Current local date/time: " + dt.GetAsRfc822(bLocalTime));

maxWaitMs = 10;
socket.Close(maxWaitMs);

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// OK, we have the current date/time.  We'll use it to set the IAT property
// in the code below.

// First load the JSON key into a string.
var fac = new CkFileAccess();
var jsonKey = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/googleApi/ChilkatTest-ab2ecd52ef98.json","utf-8");
if (fac.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(fac.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A JSON private key should look like this:

// 	  "project_id": "chilkattest-1350",
// 	  "private_key_id": "fa2e36ee26986eab628b59868af8bec1d1c64c38",
// 	  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIjFa...28N64N2n1E4FYzBZjSdy\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
// 	  "client_email": "598922945226-00rb0ppfg0sndajo6bhvd4v17jtj2d3a@developer.gserviceaccount.com",
// 	  "client_id": "598922945226-00rb0ppfg0snd9jo7bhvd4v17jtj2d3a.apps.googleusercontent.com",

// 	}

// Request an access token that is valid for this many seconds.

// If the application is requesting delegated access:
// The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access,
// then set the email address here. (Otherwise leave it empty.)
gAuth.SubEmailAddress = "";

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Set the IAT using the date/time from the NIST time server.
var unixTime = dt.GetAsUnixTime(false);
console.log("unixTime = " + unixTime);
gAuth.Iat = unixTime;

// Connect to www.googleapis.com using TLS (TLS 1.2 is the default.)
// The Chilkat socket object is used so that the connection can be established
// through proxies or an SSH tunnel if desired.

// Send the request to obtain the access token.

// Examine the access token:
