GMail refresh token retrieval no longer working #49

Closed mathstuf closed 11 months ago

mathstuf commented 2 years ago

Is this expected to work anymore? It seems that policies have changed and the urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob URL is no longer valid. So…how is a desktop application supposed to communicate with the GMail API anymore?

It seems that using a REDIRECT_URI = 'https://localhost' is a workaround; the refresh token can be scraped from the address bar at least.

I had a similar issue when using the oauth2.py but found it was using https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token to request tokens vs using https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token as stated in google's documentation docs.

I feel there is probably other outdated urls in the script as well.

See the second comment here for a workaround. I'll note that I got an email about OOB-using client IDs being expired in October, so I'll need this before then at least, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it.
