whar is the oauth service name for the google apps reseller api


I tried to use the google apps reseller api with google apps script. To use oauth I need the AuthServiceName. what is the right name? "apps" does not work.


Solution

  • AuthServiceName is defined in your application, its not dependent on the API that you are connecting to, i would suspect that you may not have completed all the steps necessary or that your oauth call is not properly structured.

    Here is an example of a call that retrieves the details of domains.

    function getCustomer() {
      //set up oauth for Google Reseller API
      var oAuthConfig1 = UrlFetchApp.addOAuthService("doesNotMatter");
      oAuthConfig1.setRequestTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken?scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.order.readonly");
      oAuthConfig1.setAccessTokenUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken");
      oAuthConfig1.setAuthorizationUrl("https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken?oauth_callback=https://script.google.com/a/macros");
      oAuthConfig1.setConsumerKey(CONSUMER_KEY);
      oAuthConfig1.setConsumerSecret(CONSUMER_SECRET);
    
      var options1 = {oAuthServiceName:"doesNotMatter", oAuthUseToken:"always", 
                      method:"GET", headers:{"GData-Version":"3.0"}, contentType:"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"};
    
      //set up user profiles url
      var theUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/apps/reseller/v1/customers/somedomain.com";  
    
      //urlFetch for customer list
      var customerInfo = "";
    
      try {
        var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(theUrl,options1);
        customerInfo = response.getContentText();
      } catch(problem) {
        Logger.log(problem.message);  
      }
    
      Logger.log(customerInfo);
    
    }
    

    This will work if

    1. You have a reseller account (I guess i.e. I did not test on my non reseller account)
    2. You have create a project in the API console, and enabled the Reseller API
    3. You know your SECRET and KEY lifted form the console
    4. I have use a read.only scope which is safe, if not you need to set up your tests in the sand box

    Let me know if you need any more clarifications
