receiving this The redirect URI in the request: http://localhost did not match a registered redirect URI

[Dor Ben Dov]

I used this link

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?from_login=0&scope=https://docs.google.com/feeds/&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost&approval_prompt=force&state=/profile&as=-4167a0e9d45e7473&pli=1&client_id=myclientid&hl=en 

What's wrong ? 

How can i solve this ? 

How do i see the already registered URI . 

Thanks in advanced,

Dor

Hi Dor,

The registered URIs are controlled from your APIs Console project page. Under "API Access", you'll have a section called "Client ID for web applications". You'll be able to set your redirect URIs there.

Sergio,

Why do i need the redirect, why can't i avoid it ?

Hi Dor,

I assume this is a web application you're building? The redirect or callback URL is used so that your application can get the auth data (it's part of the OAuth 2.0 protocol).

If you're building a desktop application instead, then you should set up an "installed application" client ID in your project instead.

Sergio, 

Can i write a sample code, run it once, get the token, use it to get the authentication key. 

Save this token and authentication key. 

Use them to access adsense reporting api (my account) . 

Can also say that the authentication key or the token are permanent and won't be changed ? 

Regards,

Dor

Hi Dor,

You can indeed. When you run the OAuth 2.0 flow with offline access enabled, you'll get back two tokens: an access token and a refresh token. The former is short-lived and used to make requests, whereas the latter can be used to request new access tokens.

You can save your refresh token to disk and use that to generate a new access token whenever you need to make requests. The refresh token won't stop working unless the user revokes access to your application.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Sérgio

Hi,

Is there any simple way to create the access token ? 

Let's say i have the access token and the user (which is me) won't revoke the application. 

Can i use this access token with the adsense reporting api to retrieve my application data ? forever till it will be revoked ? 

Regards,

Dor

Hi Dor,

Only the refresh token is long-lived. The access token expires after a short amount of time. You should save your refresh token (which will not expire) and generate new access tokens when you need them: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2InstalledApp#refresh

Hi Sergio,

Can i use the refresh token for all the ad sense reporting api access ? or do i need to do that with the access token. 

Each request should have a different token or can i use the same access token for all my request (which means that using the refresh token that saved i will get the access token for the specific session and use it for all the requests).

Regards,

Dor

Hi Dor,

You need to use access tokens in your requests. You can generate them from your saved refresh token.

Ok thanks great. 

Now for the first question again, where can i find a simple java code example on how to generate the refresh token. 

Then i will need to make another http call to get the access key right ? and then with it to make another http call to the ad sense reporting api right ? 

Thanks in advanced,

Dor

Hi Dor,

It's easier if you just use the Java client library. Here's the client library guide: https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/complete_guide

The Java client library also has a number of samples for the AdSense Management API and other APIs, which you can adapt: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-java-client/wiki/APIs
