2 years ago The current workaround is to pretend that it's a desktop app. This requires token generation on a desktop PC using this code which is a stripped-down version of the google sheets API python quickstart code:
import os.path
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
# If modifying these scopes, delete the file token.json.
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets']
def main():
creds = None
# The file token.json stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
# created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
# time.
if os.path.exists('token.json'):
creds = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file('token.json', SCOPES)
print('Got token from token.json file')
# If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
if not creds or not creds.valid:
if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
creds.refresh(Request())
else:
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
'credentials.json', SCOPES)
creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
# Save the credentials for the next run
with open('token.json', 'w') as token:
token.write(creds.to_json())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()To run it you must have first created a credentials.json file through the google sheets API console. It will result in a token.json file which then can just be transferred to the server and dropped into the folder for this repo. It'll need manually refreshing every so often
Fix Google OAuth so that it can: A. Generate tokens on the server, and B. Refresh the token as needed
