google oauth - OAuth2 Troubles with PicasaWeb API -



google oauth - OAuth2 Troubles with PicasaWeb API -

i have spent lastly couple of nights bashing head against wall amongst see of conflicting out of date documentation , semi-helpful blog posts were/are appropriate trying do.

essentially want write wee personal app download images picasaweb/google+ , store them on local hard disk.

i have managed following:

figured out gdata api appropriate request private album info (works fine in 'google-logged-in' chrome browser) got right private info gdata url token generated oauth playground. managed oauth2 token https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token using jwt.

however - when seek access token generate myself forbidden response message 'not authorized view access private'.

i pretty stumped - guess service business relationship configured in google developers console doesn't have access personal google stuff google+ photos. when in there can see oauth playground has access. how give app access - , need in scenario?

thanks in advance, robert

"my guess service business relationship configured in google developers console doesn't have access personal google stuff".

totally correct.

i guess see 2-3 questions per month on people have made false assumption service business relationship kind of proxy google account. isn't. it's new , independent account.

the 2 approaches can take are:-

share items service business relationship has permission access them. give app direct access picassa account. see how authorise background web app without user intervention? (canonical ?) steps involved.
