I am trying to make a connection to the API via a web application (multiple users) in rails. I can't find any straightforward example on how to do this. Could anyone help me with an example on how to authenticate (get an access token and refresh token) and connect to the API?

Sorry I am a bit frustrated after spending the whole day trying to get the entries from public calendar feed. It should be trivial but due to absence of V2 API docs I had to abandon a working implementation of XML calendar feed parser and now I am here.

I don't understand how to get access to the calendar. There is no "Registered apps" nor "REGISTER APP", no "Web application" for the "Platform".

All I need is to get a handful of upcoming events from a public calendar. Should be easy right?

When calling "client.discovered_api('analytics', 'v3').management.experiments.update" and failing to pass in the id attribute to the body, Webrick (test environment) dies with:
Illegal instruction: 4

I think I'd prefer it to raise an exception. But, that's just personal preference.

Specifically looking for an example of authentication with a service account (for gmail would be lovely).

I am trying to create a draft but am getting the error Missing draft message

require 'google/api_client'
client = Google::APIClient.new
client.authorization.client_id = ENV['GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID']
client.authorization.client_secret = ENV['GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET']
client.authorization.grant_type = 'refresh_token'
client.authorization.refresh_token = User.last.refresh_token
token = client.authorization.fetch_access_token!
gmail = client.discovered_api('gmail', 'v1')
params = { 'userId' => 'me', 'draft' => { 'message' => {'raw' => 'test email' } } }
# { 'userId' => 'me', 'message' => {'raw' => 'test email' } }
result = client.execute(api_method: gmail.users.drafts.create, parameters: params)

I also tried the commented out hash and received the same error. Any ideas?

Step to reproduce the problem:

1. bundle install
2. bundle exec rackup
   result:

bundle exec rackup
bundler: failed to load command: rackup (/Users/frojas/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1/bin/rackup)
LoadError: cannot load such file -- google/api_client

  /Users/frojas/git/frojasg/google-api-ruby-client-samples/googleplus/config.ru:5:in `require' 

It seems google-api-omniauth depends on google-api-client version '0.4.X'.

The following change should fix the problem for me

--- a/googleplus/Gemfile
+++ b/googleplus/Gemfile
@@ -1,6 +1,7 @@
 source 'https://rubygems.org'

Should I submit a PR for this change?

please add..

Doubleclickbidmanager = Google::Apis::DoubleclickbidmanagerV1
service = Doubleclickbidmanager::DoubleClickBidManagerService.new

Any method call to this service(ex: service.list_queries) returns 500 Apis Server Error.

service itself seems to be right class but I'm not sure how or where to look for the issue. Any ideas?

Is there any plan to write a sample for Google Analytics?

I can't get the Google Analytics / Service Account sample to work. Set everything up, but the attempt to fetch a result fails (quietly) with this hash of headers:

{"www-authenticate"=>"Bearer realm=\"https://accounts.google.com/AuthSubRequest\", error=insufficient_scope, scope=\"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics\"",
       "content-type"=>"application/json; charset=UTF-8",

Hi!

Thanks for the hard work. I get this warning using the 'googleplus' example:
WARN -- : Google::APIClient - Please provide :application_name and :application_version when initializing the client.

Was wondering if there's something we're not doing. Thanks.

Hello guys.
I'm using this gem to make a login in analytics.

  scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly"
  file = "#{File.expand_path File.dirname(__FILE__) }/../myfiletologin.p12"
  key = Google::APIClient::PKCS12.load_key(file, "keepthissecret")
  service_account = Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter.new("[email protected]", scope, key)
  client.authorization = service_account.authorize # ERROR!

I'm receiving error:

#<Signet::AuthorizationError: Authorization failed.  Server message:
{
  "error" : "invalid_grant",
  "error_description" : "Invalid JWT: Token must be a short-lived token and in a reasonable timeframe"
}>

How can I do to solve this? What's a possible problem?

Just tried calendar connection sample and noticed that in current api client gem (google-api-client-0.6.4) does not contain google/api_client/auth/file_storage library, that leads to being unable to use sample out of box.

Whenever I try to execute the bundle exec ruby analytics.rb I get the error:

analytics.rb:3:in `require': cannot load such file -- google/api_client (LoadError)
    from analytics.rb:3:in `<main>'

I've already installed the google-api-client gem and the it is also inside the gemfile...

It seems like the file file_storage.rb is missing in the gem (version 0.6.4):

$ls ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392@gaspm/gems/google-api-client-0.6.4/lib/google/api_client/auth
installed_app.rb jwt_asserter.rb  key_utils.rb     pkcs12.rb

When I clone the repository and try to run the examples, I get the following error:

drive.rb:17:in `require': cannot load such file -- google/api_client/auth/file_storage (LoadError)
    from drive.rb:17:in `<main>'

The Calendar demo readme contains the following instructions:

Edit the calendar.rb file and enter the values for the following properties that you retrieved from the API Console:

oauth_client_id
oauth_client_secret

I'm confused by these instructions because the strings oauth_client_id and oauth_client_secret never appear in calendar.rb. What am I missing here?

All of the documentation/examples I have found use a client_secret -- my IAM packet from Google is in JSON and has private_key_id and private_key. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to do basic search. google-search gem no longer works.
