I am trying to fetch google contacts for a user via oAuth2 mechanism. I am following this tutorial - https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/server-side-flow
I have javascript code that calls start() on pageload -
function start() {
gapi.load('auth2', function() {
auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
client_id: 'SOME_CLEINT_ID',
scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly'
});
});
}
and
auth2.grantOfflineAccess().then(signInCallback);
and then -
function signInCallback(authResult) {
if (authResult['code']) {
var callback = function(data){
data = JSON.parse(data);
console.log(data);
};
callAjax({action: 'saveGmailAuth', gaccesscode: authResult['code']}, callback, true);
} else {
// There was an error.
}
}
This front end code calls my backend Java web servlet, which tries to get access token -
String authCode = request.getParameter("gaccesscode");
String REDIRECT_URI = "";
String CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = "G:/eclipse_proj/GoogleContacts/CLIENT_JSON_FILE.json";
GoogleClientSecrets clientSecrets;
try {
clientSecrets = GoogleClientSecrets.load(JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance(),
new FileReader(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE));
REDIRECT_URI = clientSecrets.getDetails().getRedirectUris().get(0);
GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest tokenRequest = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest(new NetHttpTransport(),
JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance(), "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token",
clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientId(), clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientSecret(), authCode,
REDIRECT_URI);
GoogleTokenResponse tokenResponse = tokenRequest.execute();
String accessToken = tokenResponse.getAccessToken();
GoogleCredential credential = new GoogleCredential().setAccessToken(accessToken);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Every time I try this java code, every time it gives me error at tokenRequest.execute()
-
com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.TokenResponseException: 400 Bad Request
{
"error" : "redirect_uri_mismatch",
"error_description" : "Bad Request"
}
With REDIRECT_URI as empty string, it give another error saying - redirect_uri_not_provided.
I tried it with both "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token
" and "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token
"
I need help figuring this out. What am I doing wrong here?
My redirect URI is - http://localhost:8080/GoogleContacts/Callback
in both json file and in developer console for oauth2.
For redirect_uri
in using Google APIs,go to your Google Dev console and type what you see as is:
//you can use any port you want
http:localhost:8080/oauth2callback
oauth2callback is the key ingredient.
