token-info {gargle}

Get info from a token

Description

These functions send the token to Google endpoints that return info about a token or a user.

Usage

token_userinfo(token)

token_email(token)

token_tokeninfo(token)

Arguments

token

A token with class Token2.0 or an object of httr's class request, i.e. a token that has been prepared with httr::config() and has a Token2.0 in the auth_token component.

Details

It's hard to say exactly what info will be returned by the "userinfo" endpoint targetted by token_userinfo(). It depends on the token's scopes. Where possible, OAuth2 tokens obtained via the gargle package include the ⁠https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email⁠ scope, which guarantees we can learn the email associated with the token. If the token has the ⁠https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile⁠ scope, there will be even more information available. But for a token with unknown or arbitrary scopes, we can't make any promises about what information will be returned.

Value

A list containing:

• token_userinfo(): user info

• token_email(): user's email (obtained from a call to token_userinfo())

• token_tokeninfo(): token info

# with service account token
t <- token_fetch(
  scopes = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive",

)
# or with an OAuth token
t <- token_fetch(
  scopes = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive",
  email  = "[e-mail]"
)
token_userinfo(t)
token_email(t)
tokens_tokeninfo(t)
