(JavaScript) Get OAuth 2.0 Access Token using G_SvcOauthAccessToken2

Obtains an OAUTH2 access token from the Google OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server using the G_SvcOauthAccessToken2 method. This is for Server to server applications using Google API's that need an access token. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount

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

var http = new CkHttp();

// When a service account (Client ID) is created at https://code.google.com/apis/console/
// Google will generate a P12 key.  This is a PKCS12 (PFX) file that you will download
// and save.  The password to access the contents of this file is "notasecret".
// NOTE: The Chilkat Pfx API provides the ability to load a PFX/P12 and re-save
// with a different password.

// Begin by loading the downloaded .p12 into a Chilkat certificate object:
var cert = new CkCert();
success = cert.LoadPfxFile("/myDir/API Project-1c43a291e2a1-notasecret.p12","notasecret");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The next (and final) step is to request the access token.  Chilkat internally
// does all the work of forming the JWT header and JWT claim set, encoding and
// signing the JWT, and sending the access token request.
// The application need only provide the inputs: The iss, scope(s), sub, and the
// desired duration with a max of 3600 seconds (1 hour).
// 
// Each of these inputs is defined as follows 
// (see https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2ServiceAccount
// iss: The email address of the service account.
// scope: A space-delimited list of the permissions that the application requests.
// sub: The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access.
// numSec: The number of seconds for which the access token will be valid (max 3600).

var claimParams = new CkHashtable();

// The required claim parameters that must be provided by the application are
// the "iss" and "scope" params:
success = claimParams.AddStr("iss","761326798069-r5mljlln1rd4lrbhg75efgigp36m78j5@developer.gserviceaccount.com");
success = claimParams.AddStr("scope","https://mail.google.com/");

// The "sub" param is required if there is an email address, such as for a
// Google Apps domain—if you use Google Apps for Work, where the administrator of the Google Apps domain 
// can authorize an application to access user data on behalf of users in the Google Apps domain.
// 
// Comment out this line if there is no such email address.
success = claimParams.AddStr("sub","user@your-domain.com");

// The "aud" parameter is optional.  If not set, it defaults to the value shown here:
success = claimParams.AddStr("aud","https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token");

var numSec = 3600;

var accessToken = http.G_SvcOauthAccessToken2(claimParams,numSec,cert);
if (http.LastMethodSuccess !== true) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
}
else {
    console.log("access token: " + accessToken);
}
