Code snippets for Building OAuth 2.0 credentials :
Credential credential = new GoogleCredential.Builder().setTransport(httpTransport)
.setJsonFactory(jsonFactory)
.setClientSecrets(myAppClientID, myAppSecret)
.build();
credential.setRefreshToken(userRefreshToken);
I am using Java Library in order to get the Google Analytics Data.
I do have Client ID, Secret and Refresh Token. I am accessing Google Analytics API though this credentials information, My question is, Will Google OAuth 2.0 take care of Access Token Automatically? Or Do i need to handle it manually with some mechanism? If i am not passing access token to this code.
From the Credential API doc:
Thread-safe OAuth 2.0 helper for accessing protected resources using an access token, as well as optionally refreshing the access token when it expires using a refresh token.
So if you don't specify an access token, it will be automatically fetched using the refresh token. But since you already have an access token, I would say it's good to set it - it will save the first network call to the /token endpoint.
