Any Sample Code for Java Web Application to Use AdSense API?

[Tianyi Cong]

Hi All,

I have a java web application and I'd to use AdSense management API to retrieve reports but I am stuck at the authorization part.

Seems it requires OAuth2. I looked the sample code from this github URL, but seems it is for AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp.

Is there a sample code I can take a look at for a java web application? Please share some code or ideas with me if you are familiar with this process.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tlanyl,

we don't have java web specific example.

You could take a look at the OAuth2 page and maybe the PHP sample for guidance.

thanks,

Dean

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the reply, is that means I can do the web service call the get the token for authentication instead of using the java api? That may be simpler, seems like.

I also want to persist this authentication, so me and my partners don't have to do it every time they want to check the report. I found some thread in the forum, but it is not very clear. 

Can you please elaborate the process to achieve this? Can I just persist that token, or it will expire after a certain amount of time and I have to swtich to another one? If so, can it be done grammatically instead?

Thanks,

Tianyi

Hi Tianyi,

the tokens last a long time (I don't have specifics but months+)

you could try doing it yourself without the client but it is non-trivial - take a look at the PHP example which uses helper methods - we don't have examples or a guide for doing that.

thanks,

Dean
