Hello Abdul,
--
If using curl, I would suggest using OAuth 2.0 as it is much simplier to implement. You will need to log into your API Console in order to retrieve the needed client_id and client_secret.
After that, you will be able to call the Contacts API by specifying this authorization header:
Authorization: OAuth <YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>
Best,
Alain

hi Alain Vongsouvanh,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried with the advice given by you .i.e i have requested API access
and I have got the client id and redirect uris
I have used oauth 2 API as shown below but still i could not get the
access token from the google server.
This is my curl command line:
curl https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=586812405065.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
http://localhost&scope=https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/&response_type=token
Response I am getting is as shown below:
[1] 3951
[2] 3952
[3] 3953
bash: http://localhost: No such file or directory
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>invalid_request: Required parameter is missing: response_type</
TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<H1>invalid_request: Required parameter is missing: response_type</H1>
<H2>Error 400</H2>
</BODY>
</HTML>
^C
[1] Done curl
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=586812405065.apps.googleusercontent.com
[2]- Exit 127 redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
http://localhost
[3]+ Done scope=https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/
Can you please tell me how can i get the access token

Hello Abdul,
Can you try this command line:
Also, this URL is to be visited by the user in order to grant access to your application by clicking on the "Allow" button. Also, the response_type has to be set to "code" in order to be used with the "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob" redirect URI since this is a native application flow. Once you get the access code back from the server, you can exchange it for an access and refresh token.
One more thing: please make sure to hide your client id and client secret when you copy and paste codes and/or command lines. You can ask for a new client id by going into the API Console.
Best,
Alain

Hi Alain Vongsouvanh,
Thanks for your reply.
I have understood the process of getting access token for Oauth 2.0
Now I am developing QT based application using QOAuth library.
But QOAuth supports only OAuth 1.0.
So how can I get Consumerkey,Consumersecret,Oauth_signature for my
application using QAuth 1.0 and the QOAuth library apis is expecting
token as well as tokensecret from the server.
Can you please advice me in this regard
I am using the following urls in my application:
http://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken
http://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken
Thanks a lot for your support.
Regards
Abdul Moiz

Hello Abdul,
An other developer has implemented a C++ client for the Google Tasks API using Qt and OAuth (though he used SimpleOAuth):
It might be interesting for you to check out his code and look into how he did the OAuth dance. Please make sure to change the scopes from the Tasks API scopes to the Contacts API scopes.
Best,
Alain

Hi Alain Vongsouvanh ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have gone through the QT code in the link you have given.
The developer has used SimpleOAuth library.
But SimpleOAuth library like QOAuth library supports only OAuth 1.0.
authentication in which the application uses "Consumerkey" and
"Consumersecret".
In the earlier post responses , you discussed about OAuth 2.0
authentication which gives "Client id" and "Client Secret"
Now Can you please tell me how to get "Consumerkey" and
"Consumersecret" for OAuth 1.0 authentication.
And how to get an application signed by google(and get signature key)
if it is installed application(no url).
Thanks once again for your support.

Hello Abdul,
For installed application, you should use "anonymous" for both ConsumerKey and ConsumerSecret.
Also, please make sure to specify the "xoauth_displayname" query parameter when requesting access as it will let the server display your application name on the authorization page instead of "Anonymous".
Best,
Alain
