xodus_fr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
#!/usr/bin/perl # Code to get a web-based token that can be stored # and used later to authorize our spreadsheet access. # Based on code from https://gist.github.com/hexaddikt/6738162 #------------------------------------------------------------------- # To use this code: # 1. Edit the lines below to put in your own # client_id and client_secret from Google. # 2. Run this script and follow the directions on # the screen, which will give step you # through the following steps: # 3. Copy the URL printed out, and paste # the URL in a browser to load the page. # 4. On the resulting page, click OK (possibly # after being asked to log in to your Google # account). # 5. You will be redirected to a page that provides # a code that you should copy and paste back into the # terminal window, so this script can exchange it for # an access token from Google, and store the token. # That will be the token the other spreadsheet access # code can use. use Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth2; use Net::Google::Spreadsheets; use Storable; #to save and restore token for future use use Term::Prompt; # Provide the filename in which we will store the access # token. This file will also need to be readable by the # other script that accesses the spreadsheet and parses # the contents. my $session_filename = "stored_google_access.session"; # Code for accessing your Google account. The required client_id # and client_secret can be found in your Google Developer's console # page, as described in the detailed instruction document. This # block of code will also need to appear in the other script that # accesses the spreadsheet. # Be sure to edit the lines below to fill in your correct client # id and client secret! my $oauth2 = Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth2->new( client_id => '*********.apps.googleusercontent.com', client_secret => '********', scope => ['http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/'], redirect_uri => 'https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground', ); # We need to set these parameters this way in order to ensure # that we get not only an access token, but also a refresh token # that can be used to update it as needed. my $url = $oauth2->authorize_url(access_type => 'offline', approval_prompt => 'force'); # Give the user instructions on what to do: print <<END The following URL can be used to obtain an access token from Google. 1. Copy the URL and paste it into a browser. 2. You may be asked to log into your Google account if you were not logged in already in that browser. If so, go ahead and log in to whatever account you want to have access to the Google doc. 3. On the next page, click "Accept" when asked to grant access. 4. You will then be redirected to a page with a box in the left-hand column labeled "Authorization code". Copy the code in that box and come back here. Here is the URL to paste in your browser to get the code: $url END ; # Here is where we get the code from the user: my $code = prompt('x', 'Paste the code obtained at the above URL here: + ', '', ''); # Exchange the code for an access token: my $token = $oauth2->get_access_token($code) or die; # If we get to here, it worked! Report success: print "\nToken obtained successfully!\n"; print "Here are the token contents (just FYI):\n\n"; print $token->to_string, "\n"; # Save the token for future use: my $session = $token->session_freeze; store($session, $session_filename); print <<END2 Token successfully stored in file $session_filename. Use that filename in your spreadsheet-access script to load the token as needed for access to the spreadsheet data. END2 ;
use Net::Google::Spreadsheets; use Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth2; use Net::OAuth2::AccessToken; use Storable; # Authentication code based on example from gist at # https://gist.github.com/hexaddikt/6738247 # Get the token that we saved previously in order to authenticate: my $session_filename = "stored_google_access.session"; # Be sure to edit the lines below to fill in your correct client # id and client secret! my $oauth2 = Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth2->new( client_id => '****.apps.googleusercontent.com', client_secret => '***', scope => ['http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/'], redirect_uri => 'https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground', ); # Deserialize the file so we can thaw the session and reuse the refres +h token my $session = retrieve($session_filename); if($session->error) { print $session->error_description; } my $restored_token = Net::OAuth2::AccessToken->session_thaw($session, auto_refresh => 1, profile => $oauth2->oauth2_webserver, ); $oauth2->access_token($restored_token); # Now we can use this token to access the spreadsheets # in our account: my $service = Net::Google::Spreadsheets->new( auth => $oauth2); my $spreadsheet_by_title = $service->spreadsheet( { title => 'aaa' } );
It seems that the url used doesn't work anymore.request for 'https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/spreadsheets/privat +e/full?title=aaa' failed: 404 Not Found <!DOCTYPE html><
