Get a Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token

See more Google Calendar Examples

Demonstrates how to get a Google Calendar OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script. Rust

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

let oauth2 = chilkat::OAuth2::new();

// For Google OAuth2, set the listen port equal to the port used
// in the Authorized Redirect URL for the Client ID.
// For example, in this case the Authorized Redirect URL would be http://localhost:55568/
// Your app should choose a port not likely not used by any other application.
oauth2.set_listen_port(55568);

oauth2.set_authorization_endpoint("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth");
oauth2.set_token_endpoint("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token");

// Replace these with actual values.
oauth2.set_client_id("GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID");
oauth2.set_client_secret("GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET");

oauth2.set_code_challenge(true);
oauth2.set_code_challenge_method("S256");

// These are the scopes for Google Calendar:
// https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar 	read/write access to Calendars
// https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly 	read-only access to Calendars
oauth2.set_scope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar");

// Begin the OAuth2 three-legged flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.
let Ok(url) = oauth2.start_auth() else {
    println!("{}", oauth2.last_error_text());
    return;

println!("{}", url);

// Launch the system's default browser navigated to the URL.
if oauth2.launch_browser(&url).is_err() {
    println!("{}", oauth2.last_error_text());

// Now wait for the authorization.
// We'll wait for a max of 30 seconds.

}

// If there was no response from the browser within 30 seconds, then 
// the AuthFlowState will be equal to 1 or 2.
// 1: Waiting for Redirect. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting to receive the redirect HTTP request from the browser.
// 2: Waiting for Final Response. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the final access token response.
// In that case, cancel the background task started in the call to StartAuth.
if oauth2.auth_flow_state() < 3 {
    let _ = oauth2.cancel();
    println!("No response from the browser!");
    return;
}

// Check the AuthFlowState to see if authorization was granted, denied, or if some error occurred
// The possible AuthFlowState values are:
// 3: Completed with Success. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the successful JSON response is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
// 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
// 5: Failed Prior to Completion. The OAuth2 flow failed to complete, the background thread exited, and the error information is available in the FailureInfo property.
if oauth2.auth_flow_state() == 5 {
    println!("OAuth2 failed to complete.");
    println!("{}", oauth2.failure_info());
    return;
}

if oauth2.auth_flow_state() == 4 {
    println!("OAuth2 authorization was denied.");
    println!("{}", oauth2.access_token_response());
    return;
}

if oauth2.auth_flow_state() != 3 {
    println!("Unexpected AuthFlowState:{}", oauth2.auth_flow_state());
    return;

// Save the full JSON access token response to a file.
let sb_json = chilkat::StringBuilder::new();

// 	{
// 	 "access_token": "ya39.Ci-XA_C5bGgRDC3UaD-h0_NeL-DVIQnI2gHtBBBHkZzrwlARkwX6R3O0PCDEzRlfaQ",
