Description
This is Google's officially supported ruby client library for using OAuth 2.0 authorization and authentication with Google APIs.
Alpha
This library is in Alpha. We will make an effort to support the library, but we reserve the right to make incompatible changes when necessary.
Install
Be sure https://rubygems.org/
is in your gem sources.
For normal client usage, this is sufficient:
$ gem install googleauth
Example Usage
require 'googleauth'
# Get the environment configured authorization
scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute']
authorization = Google::Auth.get_application_default(scopes)
# Add the the access token obtained using the authorization to a hash, e.g
# headers.
some_headers = {}
authorization.apply(some_headers)
Application Default Credentials
This library provides an implementation of application default credentials for Ruby.
The Application Default Credentials provide a simple way to get authorization credentials for use in calling Google APIs.
They are best suited for cases when the call needs to have the same identity and authorization level for the application independent of the user. This is the recommended approach to authorize calls to Cloud APIs, particularly when you're building an application that uses Google Compute Engine.
User Credentials
The library also provides support for requesting and storing user credentials (3-Legged OAuth2.) Two implementations are currently available, a generic authorizer useful for command line apps or custom integrations as well as a web variant tailored toward Rack-based applications.
The authorizers are intended for authorization use cases. For sign-on, see Google Identity Platform
Example (Web)
require 'googleauth'
require 'googleauth/web_user_authorizer'
require 'googleauth/stores/redis_token_store'
require 'redis'
client_id = Google::Auth::ClientId.from_file('/path/to/client_secrets.json')
scope = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive']
token_store = Google::Auth::Stores::RedisTokenStore.new(redis: Redis.new)
authorizer = Google::Auth::WebUserAuthorizer.new(
client_id, scope, token_store, '/oauth2callback')
get('/authorize') do
# NOTE: Assumes the user is already authenticated to the app
user_id = request.session['user_id']
credentials = authorizer.get_credentials(user_id, request)
if credentials.nil?
redirect authorizer.get_authorization_url(login_hint: user_id, request: request)
end
# Credentials are valid, can call APIs
# ...
end
get('/oauth2callback') do
target_url = Google::Auth::WebUserAuthorizer.handle_auth_callback_deferred(
request)
redirect target_url
end
Example (Command Line)
require 'googleauth'
require 'googleauth/stores/file_token_store'
OOB_URI = 'urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob'
scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive'
client_id = Google::Auth::ClientId.from_file('/path/to/client_secrets.json')
token_store = Google::Auth::Stores::FileTokenStore.new(
:file => '/path/to/tokens.yaml')
authorizer = Google::Auth::UserAuthorizer.new(client_id, scope, token_store)
credentials = authorizer.get_credentials(user_id)
if credentials.nil?
url = authorizer.get_authorization_url(base_url: OOB_URI )
puts "Open #{url} in your browser and enter the resulting code:"
code = gets
credentials = authorizer.get_and_store_credentials_from_code(
user_id: user_id, code: code, base_url: OOB_URI)
end
# OK to use credentials
Example (Service Account)
scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidpublisher'
authorizer = Google::Auth::ServiceAccountCredentials.make_creds(
json_key_io: File.open('/path/to/service_account_json_key.json'),
scope: scope)
authorizer.fetch_access_token!
Example (Environment Variables)
export GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE=service_account
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=000000000000000000000
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL=xxxx@xxxx.iam.gserviceaccount.com
export GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
require 'googleauth'
require 'google/apis/drive_v3'
Drive = ::Google::Apis::DriveV3
drive = Drive::DriveService.new
# Auths with ENV vars:
# "GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID",
# "GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL",
# "GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE",
# "GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY"
auth = ::Google::Auth::ServiceAccountCredentials
.make_creds(scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive')
drive.authorization = auth
list_files = drive.list_files()
Storage
Authorizers require a storage instance to manage long term persistence of access and refresh tokens. Two storage implementations are included:
- Google::Auth::Stores::FileTokenStore
- Google::Auth::Stores::RedisTokenStore
Custom storage implementations can also be used. See token_store.rb for additional details.
Supported Ruby Versions
This library is currently supported on Ruby 2.3+.
However, Ruby 2.4 or later is strongly recommended, as earlier releases have reached or are nearing end-of-life. After March 31, 2019, Google will provide official support only for Ruby versions that are considered current and supported by Ruby Core (that is, Ruby versions that are either in normal maintenance or in security maintenance). See https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/ for further details.
