How to Create Events in Google Calendar API using OAuth2.0

12/14/2021

Description

In this video we will learn how to use #OAuth2 to sign in a user to their #Google account and ask them the permission for their #calendar so that events can be created on their behalf. In this process we will learn a couple of things, like how to get the user email and profile information using OAuth2 and #openid, also we will learn how to add #scopes when accepting google sign in.

What we’ll cover:

1. We will start by creating a new Project in Google Developers console. Then we will configure out project for OAuth consent screen, enable Calendar API, add scopes for sign-in, and creating credentials like the api secret and the api key.

2. Then we create out frontend ReactJS application and connect google sign in to get the authorization code for offline use, which will then be eventually used at the backend - code will be exchanged to get refresh token, access token and id token.

3. Backend application will be a very simple express application.

Some other questions which will be answered in the video:

Q1. People often complain about their #refreshtokens being expired after 7 days.

Q2. People complain that they do not get refresh token when they use code to get the tokens server side.
