Google API: getting Credentials from refresh token with oauth2client.client

The oauth2client library has been deprecated in favor of the google-auth library for authentication with Google APIs. If you're starting a new project or migrating from oauth2client to google-auth, I recommend using google-auth for a more up-to-date and secure authentication experience.

However, if you still need to use the deprecated oauth2client library to get credentials from a refresh token, you can do so using the following steps:

  1. Install oauth2client:

    If you haven't already installed it, install the oauth2client library:

    pip install oauth2client

  2. Obtain Credentials from Refresh Token:

    Here's how you can obtain credentials using a refresh token:

    from oauth2client.client import OAuth2Credentials client_id = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID' client_secret = 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET' refresh_token = 'YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN' access_token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' # Optional credentials = OAuth2Credentials( access_token, client_id, client_secret, refresh_token, token_expiry=None, token_uri='https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token', user_agent='YOUR_APP_NAME' ) # Manually refresh the access token if needed credentials.refresh(httplib2.Http()) # Now you can use the credentials to authenticate requests to Google APIs # For example, using the credentials with a Google API client library

    Replace 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET', 'YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN', and 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' with your actual values.

Again, keep in mind that oauth2client is deprecated, and Google recommends using the google-auth library for authentication with Google APIs. If possible, consider transitioning to google-auth for better long-term support and security.
