使用Google OAuth2和个人休息API

Question

How would you go about (if possible) using google OAuth2 authentication to access to gain an access token which would allow you access to your own api (one i am building).

In my research I have come across many examples and information about using the access token to use with google's api's but not my own.

The aim is to have a use authentication to the client with a google account, at which point they are then given access to call my api (with the access token provided by google OAuth 2.0)

This is the kind of setup I am looking for.

Using OAuth 2.0 to allow access to API

Without been too specific this would be for a java based rest api.

Again is this possible and if so, any tips or references to material which describes best practices/approaches to do this would me much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I would recommend you to take a look at Spring oauth2 project which is well documented and easy to use. http://projects.spring.io/spring-security-oauth/docs/oauth2.html
