I am trying to build a simple node API that uses Google OAuth 2.0 to authenticate endpoints, and I am trying to test it by making calls with Postman, but I cannot figure out how to get an OAuth token for my google account to use when calling the API. I tried using the OAuth feature in Postman but could not get it configured properly.
How to either obtain a token I can use or properly use Postman/any other utility to do this testing?
Here's how you can use Google's Sign-In button template to initialize the login & grant of permissions process (provided the project is set up in the Google Developer Console):
<meta name="google-signin-client_id" content="{{ OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID }}">
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js?onload=onLoad" async defer></script>
<div id="google-signin-button"
class="g-signin2"
data-width="170"
data-height="30"
data-onsuccess="onSignIn"
data-onfailure="onSignInFailure">
</div>
function onSignIn(googleUser) {
var profile = googleUser.getBasicProfile();
var idToken = googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token;//this is your token
}
