OAuth unattended authentication

[Mykhaylo Khodorev]

Is it possible to perform authentication with OAuth without user interaction?

Hi Mykhaylo,

You can use OAuth 2.0 for this, either with a stored token, or with the new service accounts [1].

Thank you.

Can you please give a reference to example how to use stored token. I couldn't find it in documentation (bad search?)

Does this method allow accessing to user data (tasks, mail, calendar, documents...)?

Hi Mykhaylo,

There is nothing special to it, you should save your access token when you get it to disk, anyway you like, and then load it at a later date. The token will refresh itself when it expires.
