Google Oauth2 API-Omniauth Rails

Question

Currently I'm recovering the omniauth information perfectly fine using the typical setup for omniauth gems.

I'm retrieving the access_token as a string and storing it into an Authorization model that is associated to a main Users model.

So, getting to my problem.

I need to access the calenders api and in the docs I see many references like this...

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3//users/me/calendarList/calendarId

This seems fairly intuitive. I want to access this in conjunction with the access token that I have retrieved. Something along the lines of this...

https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3//users/me/calendarList/calendarId?access_token=blah

so that I can load it directly and more streamlined into Backbone models. However, I don't see anything in the docs and when I try the implementation, it consistently throws me 404s of "Not found" (which is rather annoying and undescriptive. I'd prefer if it threw 422s but I suppose that's a discussion for somewhere else.)

Is there anything in the docs that provide an example implementation of how to access the info with a token?

thanks

Answer 1

I did a bit more research and found out about the google ruby client gem that was released. Basically, we have to feed the token into the Google::Client instance and pump out an object that has a defined set of methods that can be used on it.

I created a special case controller to handle this logic to render out a suitable api.

TO-DO: Will get into specifics in a bit. Currently I'm very tired.
