Using Scribe OAuth Java API with Google OAuth2

  1. Problem of Google Oauth1a
  2. Create Project in Google Developers Console
  3. Quick Create Project & declare Scribe Java API library
  4. Code Project

1. Problem of Google Oauth1a

There is one problem of Google OAuth 1a. From 20 April, 2015, Google will no support for OAuth 1 protocol any more. If you use Scribe Java API to work with Google OAuth 1.0, you must change your code.

In this document, I will instruct you to use Scribe Java API to work with Google OAuth 2.0

2. Create Project in Google Developers Console

No ADS
In the first time, you do not have any Project, so you have to create it. In most cases, you should name Project same your Website name (It is not compulsory).
Project Name: ExampleWebsite
Project has been created:
Goto "APIs and auth/Consent screen", to create a Product Name.
Create Client ID:
In case you use OAuth2.0 on a web application, you will have to create ClientID for that web application. Parallel, you declare the redirecting link (The link will be redirected to after user logs in his/her google account and allows your application to connect with Google OAuth).
ClientID is created, in which the two most important kinds of information are Client ID and Client Secret. You need to have it in Java code (Illustrated in the following example).
Note: You can create multiple ClientIDinformation for your different applications.

3. Quick Create Project & declare Scribe Java API library

  • File/New/Others
Your Project was created.
Configuring Maven use Scribe Java API:

Scribe Java API is an API to help you work more easily with OAuth, it hides the differences between the OAuth service providers (Google, yahoo, facebook, ..), and support OAuth 1a, OAuth 2.0
For example, to work with LinkIn, your code is:
OAuthService service = new ServiceBuilder()
                                 .provider(LinkedInApi.class)
                                 .apiKey(YOUR_API_KEY)
                                 .apiSecret(YOUR_API_SECRET)
                                 .build();
For example, to work with Google OAuth 1a, your code is:
OAuthService service = new ServiceBuilder()
                                 .provider(GoogleApi.class)
                                 .apiKey(YOUR_API_KEY)
                                 .apiSecret(YOUR_API_SECRET)
                                 .build();
The API(s) is available on Scribe:
  • FacebookApi
  • GoogleApi
  • FoursquareApi
  • Foursquare2Api
  • YahooApi
  • TwitterApi
  • ....
Regrettably, GooleApi is used for Google OAuth 1, not for Google OAuth 2.0. You also cannot find Google2Api class in the library of Scribe 1.3.7 (Maybe it is due to copyright problem).

Hence, in your project, you need to create Google2Api class, and note that it must be contained in org.scribe.builder.api package:
Google2Api.java
package org.scribe.builder.api;

Running Google2Example:
Copy URL from the above red circled images and run them on the browser:
After you log in Google account, Google requires User to allow application to see some information of the account. Click on Accept to allow it.
Website will redirect to Callback-URL. This URL includes accessing code, and you need to copy this code:
Copy code and paste on Java Console window:
You will receive user information:
