I authorized the calendar api in my google sign in auth, using the following code (Angularfire2):
let auth = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
auth.addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar');
this.afAuth.auth
.signInWithPopup(auth).then((data) => {
console.log(data); // nothing about calendar here
});
Is there any way to access authorized scopes using FirebaseAuth?
For example, access the calendar data after the user signs and authorizes the calendar auth.
If you check out the reference docs, you'll see that there are examples for each provider, which demonstrate how to obtain the third-party OAuth token:
// Using a redirect.
firebase.auth().getRedirectResult().then(function(result) {
if (result.credential) {
// This gives you a Google Access Token.
var token = result.credential.accessToken;
}
var user = result.user;
});
Once you have the third-party token, you can use that directly against their APIs.

I'm attempting to use Firebase Auth to use google sign-in. I've enabled Google Sign-In as a method, and added my domain to the list of whitelisted domains, like this:
My javascript code is very simple, just like this:
const auth = firebase.auth();
const provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(provider).then(function(result) {
var token = result.credential.accessToken;
var user = result.user;
}).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
But when I run this code, I get the following error:
This domain (<my domain>.38) is not authorized to run this operation. Add it to the OAuth redirect domains list in the Firebase console -> Auth section -> Sign in method tab.
What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to log in a user and create an event in their calendar.
I am using Firebase Auth and Google Calendar API. I am not sure how I can use Firebase Access Token to create event for the user.
<script type="text/javascript">
initApp = function() {
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function(user) {
if (user) {
user.getIdToken().then(function(accessToken) {
//how can I use this accessToken to create event in the calendar?
});
} else {}
}, function(error) {});
};
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
initApp();
});
</script>
I have a script that can log in a user and I have a script that can create an event (code not posted because the code is very similar to the attached links). How can I combine these two tasks?
From reading the documentation, I know that I have to add Calendar scopes and discovery documents to the auth script. However, I am struggling with the next steps.
Thanks for the help!
You can't use the Firebase ID token to call Google Calendar APIs.
You need to use the Google JS library to sign in to Google and to call calendar APIs. You can then get the Google ID token token to sign in with Firebase.
// Build Firebase credential with the Google ID token.
const credential = firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token);
// Sign in with credential from the Google user.
firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(credential)
.then((authResult) => {
// User signed in with Firebase.
})
.catch((error) => {
// Error while signing in.
});
Just following the firebase twitter auth guide and I'm curious if there is a way to retrieve the twitter accessToken and secret after the first sign in.
You can retrieve these after logging in the first time with
firebase.auth().getRedirectResult().then(function (result) {
if (result.credential) {
// This gives you a the Twitter OAuth 1.0 Access Token and Secret.
// You can use these server side with your app's credentials to access the Twitter API.
var token = result.credential.accessToken;
var secret = result.credential.secret;
console.log([token, secret]);
// ...
}
// The signed-in user info.
var user = result.user;
//console.log(user);
}).catch(function (error) {
// Handle Errors here.
var errorCode = error.code;
var errorMessage = error.message;
// The email of the user's account used.
var email = error.email;
// The firebase.auth.AuthCredential type that was used.
var credential = error.credential;
// ...
});
However, based on my understanding, this is only run the first time after logging in with Twitter.
How can I retrieve their twitter accessToken and secret when they open the page again? Should I store them when I get them the first time?
You can't. Firebase Auth does not store these credentials. If you need them for later use, you would need to programmatically store them after first sign-in. You could use Firebase realtime database/Firestore to do so but make sure that they can only be accessed by the corresponding authenticated user or not publicly accessible if you plan to use them server side.
From firebase's documentation
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(provider).then(function(result) {
// This gives you a Google Access Token. You can use it to access the
Google API.
var token = result.credential.accessToken;
// The signed-in user info.
var user = result.user;
// ...
}).catch(function(error) {
// Handle Errors here.
var errorCode = error.code;
var errorMessage = error.message;
// The email of the user's account used.
var email = error.email;
// The firebase.auth.AuthCredential type that was used.
var credential = error.credential;
// ...
});
Is there anyway I can get the refresh token for google api using firebase authentication. I couldn't find anything about this problem in Firebase's documentation. I am also aware that the User object also contains a refreshToken. Can I use that refreshToken from firebase to generate a new access_token for google api ?
Firebase Auth is currently focused on AuthN and not AuthZ. They do not manage OAuth tokens on sign in. All OAuth refresh tokens are discarded and only the initial OAuth access token is returned. If you need a Google refresh token, or a Google access token continuously, consider using GApi library to get a Google ID token/access token and then sign in with that to Firebase.
function onGoogleSignIn(googleUser) {
var googleIdToken = googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token;
firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(
firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(googleIdToken));
}
You will always have the ability to get a Google OAuth access token from the Google sign in library that way.
Note the question might be long because of the need for explanation otherwise it might be very vague and lead to same old answers.
I am having problem in creating a Google Sign-In page in React Native using firebase. Based on firebase documentation:
With the updates in the 3.1.0 SDK, almost all of the JavaScript SDK’s
functionality should now work smoothly in React Native. But there are
a couple caveats:
"Headful" auth methods such as signInWithPopup(), signInWithRedirect(), linkWithPopup(), and linkWithRedirect() do not
work in React Native (or Cordova, for that matter). You can still sign
in or link with a federated provider by using signInWithCredential()
with an OAuth token from your provider of choice.
which means I cannot use following code in my React Native project:
var provider = new firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
firebase.auth().signInWithPopup(provider).then(function(result) {
// This gives you a Google Access Token. You can use it to access the Google API.
var token = result.credential.accessToken;
// The signed-in user info.
var user = result.user;
// ...
}).catch(function(error) {
// Handle Errors here.
var errorCode = error.code;
var errorMessage = error.message;
// The email of the user's account used.
var email = error.email;
// The firebase.auth.AuthCredential type that was used.
var credential = error.credential;
// ...
});
Then with some googling and searching over dozens of stackoverflow, I found following way to use use Google SignIn using Firebase API
in React Native project as:
const provider = firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider;
const credential = provider.credential(token);
firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(credential)
.then((data) => {
console.log('SUCCESS', data);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('ERROR', error)
});
Now in just above code, you might have noticed token in following line:
const credential = provider.credential(token);
So based on firebase documentation, token is obtained as follows:
// `googleUser` from the onsuccess Google Sign In callback.
var token = googleUser.getAuthResponse().id_token;
So my question is how do I obtain that token using GoogleUser object or whatever it is in React Native? Or is there another way?
I am going to assume you've added GoogleSignin to your project. If not, you can find a pretty good instruction here
The callback that Google provides has an item, called idToken, which can be used to login via google into your firebase. Once you have returned that object from Google Signin, EG
GoogleSignin.signIn()
.then((user) => { this.loginWithGoogle(user) });
You can simply use this user object's idToken as a credential,
loginWithGoogle = (user) => {
var credential = firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.credential(user.idToken);
and then log into firebase using that credential
firebase.auth().signInWithCredential(credential).then(u => {
//blah blah bleep
}
Hope this helps.
