(JavaScript) Get Access Token for Google Tasks using Service Account JSON Key

Demonstrates how to get an access token for the Google Tasks API using a Service Account JSON key.

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 load the JSON key into a string.
var fac = new CkFileAccess();
var jsonKey = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/googleSvcAccountKeys/ChilkatCloud-48f7737c7505.json","utf-8");
if (fac.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(fac.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A JSON private key should look like this:

// {
//   "type": "service_account",
//   "project_id": "chilkatcloud",
//   "private_key_id": "48f7737c7505bb88eee6a20d09993e10605d466e",
//   "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
//   "client_email": "pip-564@chilkatcloud.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
//   "client_id": "109982228323456925225",
//   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
//   "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
//   "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
//   "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/pip-564%40chilkatcloud.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
// }

var gAuth = new CkAuthGoogle();
gAuth.JsonKey = jsonKey;

// Choose the scope for read/write access.
gAuth.Scope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/tasks";

// Request an access token that is valid for this many seconds.
gAuth.ExpireNumSeconds = 3600;

gAuth.SubEmailAddress = "";

// Connect to www.googleapis.com using TLS
var tlsSock = new CkSocket();
success = tlsSock.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,true,5000);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(tlsSock.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Send the request to obtain the access token.
success = gAuth.ObtainAccessToken(tlsSock);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(gAuth.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Examine the access token:
console.log("Access Token: " + gAuth.AccessToken);

// Save our access token to a file.
success = fac.WriteEntireTextFile("qa_data/tokens/googleTasks.txt",gAuth.AccessToken,"utf-8",false);
