Google API - Service account connection - Laravel 5

@cope99 thank you so much, i was hoping to find this

Hi, I`m little confused, I did exactly all of this, bud I got :

syntax error, unexpected 'public' (T_PUBLIC)

where can by a mistake?

You are probably missing a closing braces ( } ) somewhere. Send your code and I'll check it out.

I get rid of previous error and got another : Argument 1 passed to controller::functionName() must be an instance of app\services\GoogleCalendar, none given , I have this in controller: public function functionName(GoogleCalendar $calendar) { $calendarId = "YourCalendarID"; $result = $calendar->get($calendarId); }

@Cope99 Thanks for that.

/* Add the scopes you need */
$scopes = array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar');

I was wondering what the scopes are?

I do intend to use the YouTube service in order to upload videos and get the video link returned after upload. Any tips on how to implement that (I need to upload all of the videos to my channel only and set the privacy status to unlisted so I can then just use the video link in my website)?

Instead of

use App\Services\GoogleCalendar;
[...]
    public function functionName(GoogleCalendar $calendar)
    {
        $calendarId = "YourCalendarID";
        $result = $calendar->get($calendarId);
    }

use

use App\Services\GoogleCalendar;
[...]
    public function functionName()
    {
        $calendar = new GoogleCalendar;
        $calendarId = "YourCalendarID";
        $result = $calendar->get($calendarId);
    }

The scope for YouTube is https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube

If you need more information about YouTube API you can find the reference at https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/

thx for advice, i change it in this way:

<?php

 use App\Services\GoogleCalendar;

class domovController extends BaseController {

    public function domov()
    {
          $calendar = new GoogleCalendar();
        $calendarId = "xxxx@gmail.com";
        $result = $calendar->get($calendarId);
    }
    
}

bud i got : Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException (E_ERROR) Class 'App\Services\GoogleCalendar' not found

but on this adress : app\ ..... is the GoogleCalendar.php from your tutorial

@Brano This seems to be a problem with namespacing. Please refer to this video to understand better how namespace and use works https://laracasts.com/lessons/namespacing-primer

thanks , it helps but now I got : Undefined variable: service

public function get($calendarId)
    {
        $results = $service->calendars->get($calendarId);
        dd($results);
    }

@Brano

    $service = new \Google_Service_Calendar($this->client);

should have been

    $this->service = new \Google_Service_Calendar($this->client);

and

    $results = $service->calendars->get($calendarId);

should have been

    $results = $this->service->calendars->get($calendarId);

@Cope99 thanks a lot, now its work! you help me a lot

I know how to read events from calendar, @Cope99 can you please help me how to insert events into calendar?

edit: I think I got it, but your previous advices help me a lot

Thank you for the great post, really informative. I was looking for a way to integrate url shorting into my app, and this pattern fit perfectly.

A quick question tho... What if i wanted to implement several client services? how would you take care of the scopes?

There is no need to add this to composer.json... It automatically autoloads the vendor directory anyway.

{
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google"
        ],
    }
}

@mottihoresh If you need multiple scopes you can add has many as you want in the array. Example :

$scopes = array(
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar',
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube',
);

@Ozan Thank you, I think you are right on this one.

@Cope99 Thanks :D Please mark as answer if I could help...

Thanks for the great tutorial!

Thanks for this tutorial. I am able to get Calendar API details for my given credentials,

But I want Reporting API details using Google API client package,

Can you give the same steps for Google Analytics Web Application. I am struggling hard for that with errors. Is there any link to follow steps like this, please comment here or email me akilsree1@gmail.com. Any help is greatly appreciated..

Any clues how to insert an item into the calendar?

Hello.

Thanks..

Two words : ['Thank', 'You'] ;-)

Guys, how can i display this calendar. I followed those steps and get dd(result), with bunch of information. How can i get real calendar that i can edit?

Hi,

I am getting this error:

Google_Auth_Exception in OAuth2.php line 364: Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_grant" }'

And I did some changes because Laravel 5.2 does not deal with "services" the way it´s stated here. So, I used GoogleCalendar function as a controller. If this is not the right way, please, can someone here inform the right manner to work with Laravel 5.2?

Regards,

can someone help me with this ?

i don't know how to create that Client ID,

step by step explication it will be perfect

Thanks, You saved my life too!

I've changed the setup a little to fit into Lumen, as a ServiceProvider. While doing so I removed all OAuth2 code because the tutorial nicely explained how to setup a service account Therefore there is no need for an application name nor the ClientID.

.env

GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME=service_name@project_name.iam.gserviceaccount.com
GOOGLE_KEY_FILE_LOCATION=/resources/assets/service_key.p12

If you forget to write down your service_account_name you can find it back in the IAM console

/App/Providers/GoogleClientServiceProvider.php

<?php namespace App\Providers;

use Laravel\Lumen\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;

class GoogleClientServiceProvider  extends ServiceProvider{

    function register(){
        /* Get config variables */
        $service_account_name = getenv('GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_NAME');
        $key_file_location = base_path() . getenv('GOOGLE_KEY_FILE_LOCATION');

        $key = file_get_contents($key_file_location);
        /* Add the scopes you need */
        $scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar'];

        $cred = new \Google_Auth_AssertionCredentials(
            $service_account_name,
            $scopes,
            $key
        );

        $client = new \Google_Client();
        $client->setAssertionCredentials($cred);

        // repeat this block for as many Google_Services_* as you like
        // don't forget to add scopes for other services.
        $this->app->singleton(\Google_Service_Calendar::class, function ($app) use ($client) {
            return new \Google_Service_Calendar($client);
        });
    }

}

Enable the ServiceProvider

/bootstrap/app.php

$app->register(App\Providers\GoogleClientServiceProvider::class);

I use automatic resolution to retrieve the calendar client. To find out what your calendar ID's are you should first list your calendars.

/App/Http/Controllers/CalendarController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Google_Service_Calendar;

class CalendarController extends Controller
{

    public function show(Google_Service_Calendar $client){
        $calendarList = $client->calendarList->listCalendarList();
        dd($calendarList->getItems());
    }
    
}

After hours I'm finally getting a response. But not what I expected. I'm getting "Login required" anyone know why.

** GoogleClientServiceProvider.php (excuse the comments) **
