How to Access Google Photos API with Javascript using google-api-javascript-client and read JSON data?

I am very new to using API and getting JSON data using OAuth. Could anybody help me? I am trying to access clients google photos and read them. These code snippets are from google photos documentation. I modified it but still having error: "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()" and "Uncaught {error: "idpiframe_initialization_failed", details: "Not a valid origin for the client: http://127.0.0.…itelist this origin for your project's client ID."}"
Thank you!!!

use this link to get more details
On right side there is button Execute, on click that button you will get all photos ,
you can also find code just clicking a icon right side square icon of text Try this API, a popup will open, click on JAVASCRIPT Tab , you will find code

Accessing Google Photo API with your standard Google Apps Script token
I believe you can use the token that you already have with Google Apps Script.
I did go into the Console and setup the credentials for this project but I'm not using them.
function listImages() {
var token='';
var html='';
var n=0;
do{
var params = {muteHttpExceptions:true,headers: {"Authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()}};
var url=Utilities.formatString('https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems?pageSize=100%s',(token!=null)?"&pageToken=" + token:"");
var resp=UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,params);
Logger.log(resp);
var js=JSON.parse(resp.getContentText());
for(var i=0;i<js.mediaItems.length;i++) {
html+=Utilities.formatString('<br />%s - File Name: %s<br /><img src="%s" width="265"/>',++n,js.mediaItems[i].filename,js.mediaItems[i].baseUrl);
}
token=js.nextPageToken;
}while(token!=null);
var userInterface=HtmlService.createHtmlOutput(html).setWidth(1200).setHeight(500);
//SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModelessDialog(userInterface, 'Images')//dialog
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showSidebar(userInterface);//sidebard
}

Try This Code
call onAuthPhotoApiLoad function on button click
**also include js of google **
var scopeApi = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly.appcreateddata'];
function onAuthPhotoApiLoad() {
window.gapi.auth.authorize(
{
'client_id': "Put Client ID Here",
'scope': scopeApi,
'immediate': false
},
handlePhotoApiAuthResult);
}
function handlePhotoApiAuthResult(authResult) {
if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
oauthToken = authResult.access_token;
GetAllPhotoGoogleApi();
}
}
function GetAllPhotoGoogleApi() {
gapi.client.request({
'path': 'https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:search',
'method': 'POST',
'body': {
"filters": {
"mediaTypeFilter": {
"mediaTypes": ["PHOTO"]
}
}
}
}).then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
}, function (reason) {
console.log(reason);
});
}

How to check if user is logged in or not with "Google Sign In" (OAuth 2.0)

I am implementing Google log in for the first time as described here and here.
I am using HTML with Javascript.
The problem that needs solving is as follows: How can I, after the initial login, on a different page (say a landing page, or portal that the user sees after logging in), check if the user is logged in? Is there a service I can call to check the user's login in status with my app key or something similar?
I assume I would have to include the google API on each page.
Login Page Code:
Script In Head (Code from Google's tutorial listed above):
<head>
....
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js" async defer></script>
<script>
function onSignIn(googleUser)
{
var profile = googleUser.getBasicProfile();
console.log('ID: ' + profile.getId());
console.log('Name: ' + profile.getName());
console.log('Image URL: ' + profile.getImageUrl());
console.log('Email: ' + profile.getEmail());
alert(profile.getName());
}
function logout()
{
alert('logging out');
var auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
auth2.signOut().then(function () {
console.log('User signed out.');
});
}
...
</head>
Code In Body (1st line from Google's tutorial listed above, 2nd line to trigger logout test)
<body>
...
<div class="g-signin2" data-onsuccess="onSignIn"></div>
<div onmousedown="logout()">Logout</div>
...
</body>
Is there some way I can include the google API on another page, and then call some check login status function? Or another way to concretely tell if the user is logged in or out?

You do not need to store anything on local storage. The library allows you to check if the user is logged in or not using the isSignedIn.get() on the auth2 of the gapi object.
Load the JavaScript library, make sure you are not deferring the load :
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js"></script>
Then initialize the library and check if the user is logged in or not
var auth2;
var googleUser; // The current user
gapi.load('auth2', function(){
auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
client_id: 'your-app-id.apps.googleusercontent.com'
});
auth2.attachClickHandler('signin-button', {}, onSuccess, onFailure);
auth2.isSignedIn.listen(signinChanged);
auth2.currentUser.listen(userChanged); // This is what you use to listen for user changes
});
var signinChanged = function (val) {
console.log('Signin state changed to ', val);
};
var onSuccess = function(user) {
console.log('Signed in as ' + user.getBasicProfile().getName());
// Redirect somewhere
};
var onFailure = function(error) {
console.log(error);
};
function signOut() {
auth2.signOut().then(function () {
console.log('User signed out.');
});
}
var userChanged = function (user) {
if(user.getId()){
// Do something here
}
};
Don't forget to change the app id

You can stringify a custom userEntity object and store it in sessionStorage where you can check it anytime you load a new page. I have not tested the following but it should work (doing something similar with WebAPI tokens in the same way)
function onSignIn(googleUser)
{
var profile = googleUser.getBasicProfile();
console.log('ID: ' + profile.getId());
console.log('Name: ' + profile.getName());
console.log('Image URL: ' + profile.getImageUrl());
console.log('Email: ' + profile.getEmail());
var myUserEntity = {};
myUserEntity.Id = profile.getId();
myUserEntity.Name = profile.getName();
//Store the entity object in sessionStorage where it will be accessible from all pages of your site.
sessionStorage.setItem('myUserEntity',JSON.stringify(myUserEntity));
alert(profile.getName());
}
function checkIfLoggedIn()
{
if(sessionStorage.getItem('myUserEntity') == null){
//Redirect to login page, no user entity available in sessionStorage
window.location.href='Login.html';
} else {
//User already logged in
var userEntity = {};
userEntity = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('myUserEntity'));
...
DoWhatever();
}
}
function logout()
{
//Don't forget to clear sessionStorage when user logs out
sessionStorage.clear();
}
Of course, you can have some internal checks if the sessionStorage object is tampered with. This approach should work with modern browsers like Chrome and Firefox.

To check is user Signed-in use:
gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().isSignedIn.get()

Adding on to Joseph's answer above, you can then get information about the user by calling auth2.currentUser.get().getBasicProfile().
if (auth2.isSignedIn.get()) {
googleUserProfile = auth2.currentUser.get().getBasicProfile()
console.log('ID: ' + googleUserProfile.getId());
console.log('Full Name: ' + googleUserProfile.getName());
console.log('Given Name: ' + googleUserProfile.getGivenName());
console.log('Family Name: ' + googleUserProfile.getFamilyName());
console.log('Image URL: ' + googleUserProfile.getImageUrl());
console.log('Email: ' + googleUserProfile.getEmail());
}
From the docs: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/people

according to the link from Phyrik post (https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/people) -
google stopped supporting the Sign-In Javascript web auth API:
We are discontinuing the Google Sign-In JavaScript Platform Library for web. The library will be unavailable for download after the March 31, 2023 deprecation date. Instead, use the new Google Identity Services for Web.
By default, newly created Client IDs are now blocked from using the older Platform Library, existing Client IDs are unaffected. New Client IDs created before July 29th, 2022 can set plugin_name to enable use of the Google Platform Library.

Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error fetching OAuth2 access token, message: 'invalid_grant'

I'm attempting a slight variation of the Google+ web sign-in server side flow as described on the Google Developer's website.
I have a staff login page (staff_login.php) which uses javascript via Google+ (plusone.js).
If the user is already signed in to Google then the authorization code from Google is stored to a session variable.
If the user is not signed in then a 'Staff Login' button is displayed. If the user clicks the button then Google authorization takes place and, if successful, then the authorization code from Google is stored to a session variable.
In both cases, after the session variable has been stored, the user is redirected to another web page (google_login.php).
Most of the time the login process works as expected, but sometimes google_login.php generates an error message: Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error fetching OAuth2 access token, message: 'invalid_grant'.
I'm fairly sure the problem lies in the signInCallback function. How do I make it bulletproof?
Here's the (cut-down) code:
staff_login.php

Need to add/enable APIs from the left hand side panel here https://console.developers.google.com.
APIs which I have added are "google+ API" and "gmail API". I tried and it worked for me.

Facebook post custom action to timeline

I have created a custom action that I want to allow users to post to their timeline with e.g. {User} read {Article}. I can get this to work fine when I do a post using the sample URL like this :
FB.api('/me/fbsite:actionname' +
'?object=http://samples.ogp.me/356694057772404&access_token=abc','post'
But when I replace the sample URL with my own URL I get the error 'The session was invalidated explicitly using an API call'. Can anybody please advise?
EDIT : Changed my Javascript to this, but I now get 'Invalid OAuth Access Token' :
<script type="text/javascript">
function redeem() {
FB.api('/me/fbsite:actionname' +
'?object=http://samples.ogp.me/356694057772404&access_token=\' + <%=UserManager.Current.FB.accessToken %> + \'', 'post',
function (response) {
var msg = 'Error occured';
if (!response || response.error) {
if (response.error) {
msg += "\n\nType: " + response.error.type + "\n\nMessage: " + response.error.message;
}
alert(msg);
}
else {
alert('Post was successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
}
});
}

That might be because you are using the same access token in same session. So try logging out and log back in, get a new FB access token, and try the query using the new access token you got, that should work as expected.

How do I set a cookie in iOS Phonegap?

I'm using the reddit API and can successfully login and receive a cookie value in return. The code I use is as follows
loginPost = $.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://www.reddit.com/api/login/' + username + '?user=' + username + '&passwd=' + password + '&api_type=json',
xhrFields: {
withCredentials: true
},
dataType: "json",
success: function() {
console.log("Define response variables");
var header = loginPost.getAllResponseHeaders();
var responseText = loginPost.responseText;
var match = header.match(/(Set-Cookie|set-cookie): reddit_session=(.+?);/);
if (match) {
reddit_session = match[2];
window.localStorage.setItem("reddit_session", reddit_session);
window.localStorage.setItem("reddit_username", username);
window.localStorage.setItem("reddit_password", password);
console.log("Logged in!");
//alert(responseText);
$('.loginWrapper').slideUp('fast', function() {
$('#feedWrapper').css("top", "44px");
$('#feedWrapper').css("bottom", "0");
// Animation complete.
});
}
else {
reddit_session = null;
window.localStorage.setItem("reddit_session", null);
navigator.notification.alert('Your username or password is incorrect. Please try again.');
console.log("Login Failed");
}
},
});
I am storing the cookie using
var header = loginPost.getAllResponseHeaders();
var match = header.match(/(Set-Cookie|set-cookie): reddit_session=(.+?);/);
if(match){
reddit_session = match[2];
window.localStorage.setItem("reddit_session", reddit_session);
But the cookie isn't sent with a simple request to http://www.reddit.com/api/me.json. All that is returned is an empty JSON response like this {}. If I browse to that link in my browser (and am, of course, logged into reddit) it returns a JSON string with all the user data.
Any idea how I can store the cookie so that it is usable in a UIWebView?

Any idea how I can store the cookie so that it is usable in a UIWebView?
It appears that iOS cookies have been problematic since phonegap 2.5; please see [Handling cookies in PhoneGap/Cordova
I can't see any more current (phonegap 3.3) info [http://docs.phonegap.com/en/3.3.0/_index.html]
