Google API access in devtool

[Stefan Maris]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it is possible to have a devtools extension make a connection to the Google API's, more particular one that needs an OAUTH2 connection?

Trying to develop an extension (devtools) which would gather some info from one of the users Google Apps (GTM in particular), to cross-reference some browser page content.

I do not think the extension page (the panel page) can use cross origin XMLHttpRequest or supports the host permissions, but you can route everything through the background page.

https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/javascript/features/authentication seems to indicate that OAuth2 can be used from JavaScript, so, I guess it is possible.

Figured this out... created a chrome app API key, and used the chrome.identity service in the extension to obtain an OAUTH2 token.

Now I can directly call the API from a panel or from options page...

Oh wow, that's pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Please follow up with a link to your extension later, if you're making it public!
