gargle2.0_token {gargle}

Generate a gargle token

Description

Constructor function for objects of class Gargle2.0.

Usage

gargle2.0_token(
  email = gargle_oauth_email(),
  client = gargle_client(),
  package = "gargle",
  scope = NULL,
  use_oob = gargle_oob_default(),
  credentials = NULL,
  cache = if (is.null(credentials)) gargle_oauth_cache() else FALSE,
  ...,
  app = deprecated()
)

Arguments

email

Optional. If specified, email can take several different forms:

• "[e-mail]", i.e. an actual email address. This allows the user to target a specific Google identity. If specified, this is used for token lookup, i.e. to determine if a suitable token is already available in the cache. If no such token is found, email is used to pre-select the targeted Google identity in the OAuth chooser. (Note, however, that the email associated with a token when it's cached is always determined from the token itself, never from this argument).

• "*@example.com", i.e. a domain-only glob pattern. This can be helpful if you need code that "just works" for both [e-mail] and [e-mail].

• TRUE means that you are approving email auto-discovery. If exactly one matching token is found in the cache, it will be used.

• FALSE or NA mean that you want to ignore the token cache and force a new OAuth dance in the browser.

Defaults to the option named "gargle_oauth_email", retrieved by gargle_oauth_email() (unless a wrapper package implements different default behavior).

client

A Google OAuth client, preferably constructed via gargle_oauth_client_from_json(), which returns an instance of gargle_oauth_client. For backwards compatibility, for a limited time, gargle will still accept an "OAuth app" created with httr::oauth_app().

package

Name of the package requesting a token. Used in messages.

scope

A character vector of scopes to request.

use_oob

Whether to use out-of-band authentication (or, perhaps, a variant implemented by gargle and known as "pseudo-OOB") when first acquiring the token. Defaults to the value returned by gargle_oob_default(). Note that (pseudo-)OOB auth only affects the initial OAuth dance. If we retrieve (and possibly refresh) a cached token, use_oob has no effect.

If the OAuth client is provided implicitly by a wrapper package, its type probably defaults to the value returned by gargle_oauth_client_type(). You can take control of the client type by setting options(gargle_oauth_client_type = "web") or options(gargle_oauth_client_type = "installed").

credentials

Advanced use only: allows you to completely customise token generation.

cache

Specifies the OAuth token cache. Defaults to the option named "gargle_oauth_cache", retrieved via gargle_oauth_cache().

...

Absorbs arguments intended for use by other credential functions. Not used.

app

Replaced by the client argument.

Value

An object of class Gargle2.0, either new or loaded from the cache.
