This is a tool to help you obtain OAuth2 tokens for services (so far, only Google is supported). The tool is useful for command-line applications working with APIs where OAuth2 is the only method of authorization.

Node Google Oauth CLI

This repository contains a nodejs command that starts a simple Node.js server that provides Google OAuth 2.0 for server-side web applications. The server exchanges an authorization code for an access token, which can be used to access Google APIs.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You have installed Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager).
• You have a Google Cloud Platform account.
• You have created a project in the Google Cloud Console.
• You have set up OAuth 2.0 credentials for your project.

Installing Google OAuth Node.js Server

To install Google OAuth Node.js Server, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/google-oauth-nodejs-server.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd google-oauth-nodejs-server

3. Install the required packages:

npm install

Using Google OAuth Node.js Server

To use Google OAuth Node.js Server, follow these steps:

1. Replace client_id and client_secret in the script with your actual Google client ID and secret.

2. Run the server:

node server.js --client_id YOUR_CLIENT_ID --client_secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. The server will redirect you to the Google sign-in page.

4. Sign in with your Google account and authorize the app. Google will redirect you back to the server, and the server will exchange the authorization code for an access token.

Parameteres

Here are the details of each option:

• --client_id YOUR_CLIENT_ID: This option is required. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with your actual Google client ID.

• --client_secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET: This option is required. Replace YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET with your actual Google client secret.

• --port YOUR_PORT: This option is optional. Replace YOUR_PORT with the port number you want the server to listen on. If you don't specify this option, the server will listen on port 8000 by default.

• --scope YOUR_SCOPE: This option is optional. Replace YOUR_SCOPE with the OAuth scope you want to use. If you don't specify this option, the server will use https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly as the default scope.
