Can I get some clarification on retirement of AuthSub?

[scott]

I am using Google Contacts API 2.0 Javascript. (there is no 3.0
javascript)

I am using AuthSubRequestJS
to do authorization. It is my understudying that this is the only
option for Javascript 2.0 client.

Starting yesterday, I started getting this message:

This website is using an older Google authentication API that is no
longer supported. On July 2, 2012 it will stop working. We recommend
that you continue the process only if you trust the following
destination:

at the bottom of the google grant access screen.

According to the depreciation policy, the api would continue to be
available until April 20, 2015.

Can someone tell me what is going on?


Perhaps there is some setting that I can use to allow AuthSubRequestJS
to operate past July 2, 2012?

thanks,

Scott

Looking to see if there is a better option, but for now the feedback I've gotten points to a temp. workaround once AuthSub stops working:

developers can use OAuth 2.0 by retrieving an access token using the new library (google-api-java-client) and passing it as a query parameter:

  GET https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?v=3&access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>

Chad,

thanks for your help and checking on this.

I was able to try what you suggested. I got the error:
Request via script load timed out. Possible causes: feed URL is
incorrect; feed requires authentication
back from the api call below:

query = new
window.google.gdata.contacts.ContactQuery(theThis.fGoogleContactFeedURL);
query.setSortOrder('descending');
query.setShowDeleted(true);
query.setMaxResults(numInBatch);
query.setStartIndex(startIndex);
query.setUpdatedMin(null);
theThis.fContactsService.getContactFeed(query, callback, handleError);

Normally, I do check to see if I am signed into google like this:

var theToken =
window.google.accounts.user.checkLogin(window.kGoogleContactsScope,
optParams);
var status =
window.google.accounts.user.getStatus(window.kGoogleContactsScope);

however, since we were authenticating a different way, I commented out
that code.

The variable for the contact feed is:
this.fGoogleContactFeedURL = window.theHTTP + '://www.google.com/m8/
feeds/contacts/' + this.fGoogleEMailAddress + '/full' + '?
accesstoken=' +
encodeURIComponent('ya29.AHES6ZT1w3mW50HPrGgaLGCEfpry3hG_zs7BgnfAja4ObWo');

I tried with and without the v=3 option that you specified. I also
tried with and without the encodeURIComponent(), but I figured that
the component should be encoded as I saw a period in there.

As far as getting the access token, this is what I did. I took the
google-api-php-client code from google's web site and modified the
contacts demo. I got it to work and then printed the
print 'TOKEN:'.$_SESSION['token']."</br>";
which returned:

TOKEN:
{"access_token":"ya29.AHES6ZT1w3mW50HPrGgaLGCEfpry3hG_zs7BgnfAja4ObWo","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":
3600,"refresh_token":"1\/FBIoWkK-
byVl2gV968PnE3XUpV5qrE57ZxRlXyBzQi8","created":1336017265}

I figure there's something deep in the guts of the Javascript api
that's checking something and it is realizing that I am not logged in
using the old authentication method. I did delete the cookies to make
sure that auth2 was the authentication I was using.

Let me know if you have any ideas as to other things I can try.

Would it be possible for you guys not to retire AuthSubRequestJS until
your 3.0 javascript contacts api has been released? I see that you
already have an alpha of the javascript calendar api for 3.0 and it
uses the new auth 2.0. Is there going to be a new 3.0 contacts api
for your new javascript api? If that were available, then there would
be an upgrade path available for javascript folks that are using the
contacts api.

thanks,

Scott.

Is there any additional information on this problem? If Google is
going to completely turn off AuthSubRequestJS, it would seem to me
that this is an extremely drastic thing to do and It would make the
existing Javascript libraries (the non-alpha ones) completely
inoperable.

Hopefully, we can find some way forward. I am happy to do whatever is
possible at my end. We have over 20,000 customers that rely upon this
Javascript Contacts API to synchronize their contacts and calendar to
Gmail and from there to their smart phones. This is a huge deal for
our customers and us as well.

thanks,

Scott.
