iam using gmail api, in my rails application to send emails. a user can authenticate to google and send emails(it will ask for user consent. upon user approval he can send emails from his account)
my requirement is i want to show the logined user, how many emails sent from his email id in my rails app. for that im using using the below end point. but im getting an error
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
in controler
def sent_email_count
_
api_key = "api_key_contains_smal_case_capital_case_letters_and_special_symbols"
uri = URI.parse("https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/#{current_user.email}/messages?labelIds=SENT&q=newer_than%3A1d&key={api_key}")
#gmail_response = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
end
in views :-
response <%= #gmail_response >
but getting unauthorized error.
sent email count :- #Net::HTTPUnauthorized:0x00007f6f5e3e2158
i tried like below also. but its not working.(string interpoltion changes for api key)
uri = URI.parse("https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/#{current_user.email}/messages?labelIds=SENT&q=newer_than%3A1d&key=#{api_key}")
#gmail_response = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
uri = URI.parse("https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/#{current_user.email}/messages?labelIds=SENT&q=newer_than%3A1d&key=api_key")
#gmail_response = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
can some one help me with this
Answer
You are missing the token in your code, that's why your requests are HTTP 401 Unauthorized, I strongly recommend you to use the Official documentation Quickstart In your case, you should use the list_user_messages method.
First of all list all the messages using the q parameter as in:sent which means read all the sent messages from my Gmail and then count your array of messages. Here's an example:
# ...
# Previous quickstart code
user_id = "email#example.com"
result = service.list_user_messages(user_id=user_id, q="in:sent")
puts "count : #{result.messages.length()}\n\n"
Reference
Ruby Google API Client
Method: users.messages.list

I am trying my hand ruby on rails. Mostly I have written code in Sinatra. Anyway this question may not have to do anything with framework. And this question may sound a very novice question. I am playing with Twitter 1.1 APIs and OAuth first time.
I have created an app XYZ and registered it with Twitter. I got XYZ's consumer key i.e., CONSUMER_KEY and consumer secret i.e. CONSUMER_SECRET. I also got XYZ's own access token i.e ACCESS_TOKEN and access secret i.e. ACCESS_SECRET
XYZ application type: Read, Write and Access direct messages
XYZ callback URL: http://www.mysite.com/cback
And I have checked: Allow this application to be used to Sign in with Twitter
What I am trying to do is very simple:
1) Users come to my website and click a link Link your twitter account (not signin with twitter)
2) That opens twitter popup where user grants permission to XYZ to perform actions on his/her behalf
3) Once user permits and popup gets closed, XYZ app gets user's access token and secret and save in the database.
4) Then XYZ uses that user's token and secret to perform actions in future.
I may be moron that such work flow has been implemented on several thousands sites and Twitter API documentations explain this 3-legged authentication, still I am unable to figure it out.
I have read https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/3-legged-authorization and https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/implementing-sign-twitter Unfortunately no ruby code found on internet that explains with step by step example.
What link should be used to open twitter authentication page when user clicks Link your twitter account.
Can anyone here, write some pseudo code with my pseduo credential above to achieve my goal from beging till end of this work flow? Thanks.
UPDATE:
I started with requesting request token as
require 'oauth'
consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET,
{ site: "https://twitter.com"})
request_token = consumer.get_request_token oauth_callback: 'http://www.mysite.com/tauth'
redirect_to request_token.authorize_url
I'm not familiar with ROR but here is the workflow of the OAuth 'dance' that you need to follow when the user clicks your button:
Obtain an unauthorized request token from Twitter by sending a
request to
POST https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
signing the request using your consumer secret. This will be done in the background and
will be transparent to the user.
You will receive am oauth_token and oauth_token_secret back from
twitter.
Redirect the user to
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=[token_received_from_twitter]
using the oauth token value you received from Twitter in step 2.
When the user authorizes your app they will be redirected to your
callback url with oauth_token and oauth_verifier appended to the
url. i.e.
http://www.mysite.com/cback?oauth_token=NPcudxy0yU5T3tBzho7iCotZ3cnetKwcTIRlX0iwRl0&oauth_verifer=uw7NjWHT6OJ1MpJOXsHfNxoAhPKpgI8BlYDhxEjIBY
Convert the request token into an access token by sending a signed
request along with the oauth_verifier to
POST
https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token
signing your request
with your consumer secret and the token secret received in step 2.
If everything goes ok, you will receive a new oauth_token and
oauth_token_secret from Twitter. This is your access token for the
user.
Using the access token and secret received in step 6 you can make
Twitter api calls on behalf the the user by sending signed requests
to the appropriate api endpoints.
Hope you solved your problem by this time, but I built this sample Sign in with Twitter ruby web app that provide all explanation you need to do this integration. Below there's a class that implements all necessary methods with comments:

I'm trying to use OAuth2 for Server to Server Applications in conjunction with Google's Content API for Shopping using the google-api-client gem and Ruby on Rails 3.2.5. Also, I have already set up my merchant account as prescribed in the Content API documentation.
This was the best way I found to be able to:
create/update products in the background
have created products fall under my company's Google Products 'umbrella'
not require every user to authenticate/authorize when their token expires
Using lines 1 - 23 from this sample as a starting point, I've begun to write the following module for use in background jobs:
require 'httparty'
require 'google/api_client'
module GoogleProducts
GOOGLE_CONFIG = YAML.load_file(File.join(Rails.root, "config", "google.yml"))[Rails.env]
CLIENT_ID = "XXXXXXXXXXXX#developer.gserviceaccount.com"
MERCHANT_ID = "XXXXXXX"
SCOPE = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/structuredcontent"
KEY_FILE_PATH = File.join(Rails.root, "config", "my-privatekey.p12")
KEY_FILE_PASS = "XXXXXXXXXX"
def self.add_item(item_id)
self.fetch_token
xml = self.gen_item_xml(item_id)
headers = {"Content-type" => "application/atom+xml", "Content-Length" => xml.length.to_s}
url = "https://content.googleapis.com/content/v1/#{MERCHANT_ID}/items/products/generic?access_token=#{$gp_token}"
response = HTTParty.post(url, :body => xml, :headers => headers).parsed_response
end
def self.gen_item_xml(item_id)
#building product xml
end
private
def self.fetch_token
api_client = Google::APIClient.new(:authorization => :oauth2)
key = Google::APIClient::PKCS12.load_key(KEY_FILE_PATH, KEY_FILE_PASS)
asserter = Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter.new(CLIENT_ID, SCOPE, key)
begin
api_client.authorization = asserter.authorize
#todo - store in something other than a global
$gp_token = api_client.authorization.access_token
rescue Signet::AuthorizationError => e
puts e.message
ensure
return $gp_token
end
end
end
Everything seemingly works fine - the authentication, the handling of the auth token - until I attempt to actually add an item, which I get the following when I do:
<errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'>
<error>
<domain>GData</domain>
<code>ServiceForbiddenException</code>
<internalReason>Could not find authenticated customer</internalReason>
</error>
</errors>
Any ideas?
After much anguish and mental toil, I've finally solved my issue!
Since I am using OAuth 2 Server to Server authentication the suggestion hjblok gave didn't apply (thanks for giving it a shot, though!).
I simply added the email address that was associated with my Service Account key from the Google API Console (e.g. XXXXXXXXXXXX#developer.gserviceaccount.com) to my Google Merchant account (Settings > Users on the merchant admin page), and it worked.
If there's any clarification needed, please feel free to comment!
The Google Content API documentation says you need to set it up in the Settings page of the Google Merchant Center:
https://developers.google.com/shopping-content/getting-started/usingapi-products
EDIT rewrote the answer after diving into the Google's API documentation
Did you already try to use Google's OAuth 2.0 playground? I was able to successfully access https://content.googleapis.com/content/v1/#{MERCHANT_ID}/items/products/generic.
In "Step 1" I've chosen the "Content API for Shopping" and then authorized the API with my account.
Then in "Step 2" I've "exchanged authorization code for tokens", which results in a "refresh token" and an "access token".
Then in "Step 3" I've invoked a GET request to https://content.googleapis.com/content/v1/1234567/items/products/generic. Because 1234567 is not a valid MERCHANT_ID it returns an Error. But the Error Messages contains a MERCHANT_ID which actually belongs to your account.
I repeated "Step 3" but now with the correct MERCHANT_ID. Which returns a HTTP/1.1 200 OK with the requested items in the body.
Furthermore I'm not sure, but doesn't Google API expect an Authorization header to be present with the access_token ($gp_token)? Within the OAuth 2.0 playground this Authorization header is used to sent the access_token.
I also found the Structured Content API demo page (https://google-content-api-tools.appspot.com/demo/demo.html), which is more specific to the Content API for Shopping.
I'm setting the oauth_callback URL in the request header, when I do this in Twitter, it works fine and the user is redirected to the callback URL. But using Tumblr's API, the callback URL is ignored and the user is redirected to the default URL. Has anybody else experienced this? Is there anywhere else other than the header that I should be setting this? I tried passing it in as a parameter but that didn't really work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
According to Tumblr's developer blog, this was a bug in Tumblr's API and has been fixed.
Many of you have been dismayed that you could not override the
callback url when a user was attempting to authorize their
application. Good news: we’ve patched the bug that was causing this
particular issue.
Now, you can pass a url with the oauth_callback parameter and we will
redirect the user to that endpoint once you’re done.
Let’s go over a quick example.
When the user is presented with the screen to authorize your app, you
should be able to override your default callback with the
oauth_callback parameter in your url.
http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=your_token&oauth_callback=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite.com/oauth_callback/testing
The above url will redirect the user to
mysite.com/oauth_callback/testing and let you know if the user has
approved or denied your app.
Update March 14, 2013:
Starting today, Tumblr is no longer respecting the oauth_callback parameter. The blog post that I previously linked to has been deleted. I ended up using a variation of the accepted answer to work around it.
If you are trying a embed userid in callback url then this post can help you.
You can save your oauth token in a session and later on callback you can retrieve user from session.
on token request:
def ask_access
tumblr_consumer = get_consumer
if tumblr_consumer
#1. get a request token
request_token = tumblr_consumer.get_request_token
session[:request_token] = request_token
session[:user_token] = "#{request_token.params[:oauth_token]}_#{current_user.id}"
#2. have the user authorize
redirect_to request_token.authorize_url
else
render :text=> "Failed to acquire request token from Tumblr."
end
end
on call back:
def call_back
if params[:oauth_token] && params[:oauth_verifier]
request_token = session[:request_token]
user_id = session[:user_token].split("_")[1]
user = UserProfile.find user_id
##3. get an access token
access_token = request_token.get_access_token({:oauth_verifier => params[:oauth_verifier]})
user.tumblr_token = access_token.params[:oauth_token]
user.tumblr_secret = access_token.params[:oauth_token_secret]
user.save!
end
end
Tumblr does this (I assume) for security. They require that the callback URL is defined on application registration and they will not let it be overridden during implementation.
The security issue is to make sure that no one can steal your Application Token and try to use it to use your reputation to get access to customer's data. By forcing all callbacks to go to the default URL, they can guarantee that only your application is able get the Access Tokens.
The two ways to handle this are:
1) Have the default URL do a redirect to where you want it to go based on cookie or some other data
2) Have different application tokens for different callback URLs.
I can't respond to Jonathan Tran's answer, since my account is young, but posting the callback URL in the authorization URL no longer works, as he says. I asked on Twitter, and here was John Bunting's response:
https://twitter.com/codingjester/status/313248230987157505
I successfully was able to reroute my callback URL using the following (here in Python), after assigning all the proper keys:
consumer = oauth.Consumer(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
client = oauth.Client(consumer)
resp, content = client.request(request_token_url, "GET")
resp, content = client.request(request_token_url, "POST", body=urllib.urlencode({"oauth_callback": "[your own URL here]"}))
Tumblr implements this behavior differently from Twitter, so the same use of the Ruby OAuth library yields different results.
For your value of #callback_url, this works in Twitter:
#request_token = #oauth.get_request_token({
oauth_callback:#callback_url
})
redirect_to #request_token.authorize_url
But for Tumblr, you will be redirected to your default URL. To specify a different URL, you should do this:
#request_token = #oauth.get_request_token
redirect_to #request_token.authorize_url + '&' + { oauth_callback:#callback_url }.to_query
This is consistent with their documentation/blog post (cited in another answer). I have not checked to see if this is "correct" according to the OAuth 1.0a specification.
I want to upload a photo but need to authenticate with flickr in order to do so. I am using the flickraw gem but don't understand the instructions below:
require 'flickraw'
FlickRaw.api_key="... Your API key ..."
FlickRaw.shared_secret="... Your shared secret ..."
token = flickr.get_request_token(:perms => 'delete')
auth_url = token['oauth_authorize_url']
puts "Open this url in your process to complete the authication process : #{auth_url}"
puts "Copy here the number given when you complete the process."
verify = gets.strip
begin
flickr.get_access_token(token['oauth_token'], token['oauth_token_secret'], verify)
login = flickr.test.login
puts "You are now authenticated as #{login.username}"
rescue FlickRaw::FailedResponse => e
puts "Authentication failed : #{e.msg}"
end
Can someone explain to me what this code is doing and how I should use it.
First , you should open http service
rails server
On the Console , you will see
Open this url in your process to complete the authication process : http://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx........
you have to copy the url and post it on your browser.
After log in , you will get a number , like
xxx-xxx-xxx
just copy it onto your console!
Create a new Flickr app. Get the api key and shared secret from there.
"flickr.get_request_token" creates a request oauth token from flickr. You might want to set permissions to :write if you want to upload instead of :delete
auth_url is where you have to redirect to. That url also contains the oauth request tokens that you just created.
Once you are in auth_url page ( for this you have to login to your Yahoo! account), you can authorize your app to access your flickr account. This gives a verification id.
Use that verification id to you can get the oauth access tokens using this method call 'flickr.get_access_token'
Once you have the Oauth access tokens, you could do any api queries on flickr that your :perms would allow.
The entire process is described in detail here - http://www.flickr.com/services/api/auth.oauth.html
I submitted a pull request but here is an updated form of the documentation that should make this more clear
== Simple
+#Place near the top of your controller i.e. underneath FlickrController < ApplicationController
require 'flickraw'
+#Create an initializer file i.e. Flickr.rb and place it in config -> initializers folder
FlickRaw.api_key="... Your API key ..."
FlickRaw.shared_secret="... Your shared secret ..."
+#Examples of how the methods work
list = flickr.photos.getRecent
id = list[0].id

I trying to implement a Login with Facebook feature on my site, and hitting a roadblock trying to get the access token back from Facebook. Here is my code:
if params[:error_reason] == "user_denied" then
flash[:error] = "To login with Facebook, you must click 'Allow' to let the site access your information"
redirect_to :login
elsif params[:code] then
token_uri = URI.parse("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=****************&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/auth/fblogin&client_secret=***************&code="+URI.escape(params[:code]))
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(token_uri)
session[:response] = response
data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(response)
access_token = data[:access_token]
flash[:error] = access_token
redirect_to :register
end
This is inside a fblogin controller function that is the target of the initial redirect to get an authorization code (the params[:code]).
But when I run through this, I get the following error:
EOFError in AuthController#fblogin
on the Net::HTTP.get_response(token_uri) line. I've searched all over, and can't find anything to indicate what this means. Could it be the obscure characters Facebook uses in their access tokens? I'm totally lost!
You are receiving an EOFError because you are trying to connect to an https URL using code that only works with http. See the section entitled "SSL/HTTPS request" at this Net::HTTP Cheat Sheet for the basics.
However, I would recommend using a third-party library to manage this for you, such as OAuth2 for utilizing Facebook's OAuth2 API, where you'd write code like this:
def client
OAuth2::Client.new('app_id', 'app_secret', :site => 'https://graph.facebook.com')
end
# in your callback code:
access_token = client.web_server.get_access_token(params[:code], :redirect_uri => 'http://localhost:3000/auth/fblogin')
user = JSON.parse(access_token.get('/me'))
If you really want to make the requests yourself, you can look at libraries like Faraday to execute the HTTPS requests for you.
