bellow is my node js script to get google user details using accessToken
var accessToken = req.body.accessToken;
console.log(accessToken)
var google = require('googleapis');
//google api
var plus = google.plus('v1');
var OAuth2 = google.auth.OAuth2;
var oauth2Client = new OAuth2(
config.google.clientID,
config.google.clientSecret,
config.google.redirect_uri
);
oauth2Client.setCredentials({access_token: accessToken});
plus.people.get({
userId: 'me',
auth: oauth2Client
}, function (err, response) {
// handle err and response
if (err) {
reject(err)
} else {
console.log(response);
resolve(response)
}
});
need to get google login user details using accessToken. what is wrong in code?
The most likely cause is the user in question has not created a google+ profile. Here are a few more options.
I am not sure what information you are trying to get but the best way to get user info is to authecate a user using the profile scope then request the data directly of the user info endpoint
Request
GET /userinfo/v2/me HTTP/1.1
Host: www.googleapis.com
Content-length: 0
Authorization: Bearer uzG4XqnvucBFk3jylgxnbtNhoOt2wCc3QvUcjk7PZhJ5m6G7ibtlBwbAQntJjJtLsxZfoDjhbASpzLmcFnlZ9o4qoMd2fCV2eRb4O5XrKRAXC
Response
{
"family_name": "Lawton",
"name": "Linda Lawton",
"picture": "https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-a1CWlFnA5xE/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAl1I/UcwPajZOuN4/photo.jpg",
"locale": "en",
"gender": "female",
"link": "https://plus.google.com/+LindaLawton",
"given_name": "Linda",
"id": "117200475532672775346"
}
You can also go though the google people api using the same profile scope
GET /v1/people/me HTTP/1.1
Host: people.googleapis.com
Content-length: 0
Authorization: Bearer NuzG4XqnvucBFk3jylgxnbtNhoOt2wCc3QvUcjk7PZhJ5m6G7ibtlBwbAQntJjJtLsxZfoDjhbASpzLmcFnlZ9o4qoMd2fCV2eRb4O5XrKRAXC
But this endpoint reads from Google+ so if the user has not filled anything out on their Google+ profile you wont see much data here.
