auto get refresh token in web application

[GoldenOfHeart]

Hello. I tryed to connection with Google Api. Problem is that i need to generate refresh token. Currently I do that in this way:

~/go/bin/oauth2l fetch --credentials ~/your_credentials.json --scope cloud-platform

It works but i need do that in a server into Laravel application. How I can do that aotomatically?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your concern, I understand that you want to generate a refresh token automatically on the server. The below approach might address your concern.

• I would recommend you use the OAuth2 desktop app or web app flow. OAuth2 desktop app and web app flows do require an initial user interaction for granting access to the account.
• For the OAuth2 desktop app flow, you can persist a refresh token (which never expires) to obtain a new access token whenever necessary. When using one of our client libraries, you can authorize your app by filling out a configuration file.

Also, please check out Choose a user type and publishing status documentation; it will explain how to prevent the refresh token expiration by publishing status to 'In Production'.

I hope this helps. Kindly get back to us if you have any queries related to the Google Ads API.

How do I get the refresh token (which never expires)? Is this the refresh token yield by Fetch a refresh token?

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Kindly note that however you generate the refresh token, to avoid the refresh token expiring in 7 days go to the Google API Console and navigate to the OAuth consent screen and then change the publishing status to “In production”. If its publishing status is in "In production" already, this means that you have already applied this Setting up your OAuth consent screen instruction to that account that makes the life of the refresh token longer. Also, I would suggest you to refer to the "Configure the OAuth consent screen" documentation to complete this process. Kindly refer to the document Refresh token expiration to get more information. Also, I would suggest you to refer to the Generate tokens guide as it describes how to generate the refresh token using the OAuth2 Playground.
