I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the authorization to be automatic for a user. I need to get the oauth token automatically becuase my software is all voice command, but when you try and retrieve a users email it gives you a like to go and authorize the app, how do I make my code automatically get the auth token and authorize the app?
I'm trying to do this node and angular so that a users emails will update in realtime like notifications on my desktop app. This is the example code google gives, but it looks for an input of that token. I need to know how to get that token automatically.
Am I just missing something here with the code:
(function() {
'use strict';
function EmailService($window, $http, $rootScope, $q) {
var service = {};
service.events = [];
service.getEmail = function() {
var fs = require('fs');
var readline = require('readline');
var google = require('googleapis');
var googleAuth = require('google-auth-library');
// If modifying these scopes, delete your previously saved credentials
// at ~/.credentials/gmail-nodejs-quickstart.json
var SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'];
var TOKEN_DIR = '.credentials/';
var TOKEN_PATH = TOKEN_DIR + 'gmail-nodejs-quickstart.json';
// Load client secrets from a local file.
fs.readFile('configs/client_secret.json', function processClientSecrets(err, content) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error loading client secret file: ' + err);
return;
}
console.log(JSON.parse(content));
authorize(JSON.parse(content), listLabels);
});

function authorize(credentials, callback) {
var clientSecret = credentials.installed.client_secret;
var clientId = credentials.installed.client_id;
var redirectUrl = credentials.installed.redirect_uris[0];
var auth = new googleAuth();
var oauth2Client = new auth.OAuth2(clientId, clientSecret, redirectUrl);
console.log(oauth2Client);
// Check if we have previously stored a token.
fs.readFile(TOKEN_PATH, function(err, token) {
if (err) {
getNewToken(oauth2Client, callback);
} else {
oauth2Client.credentials = JSON.parse(token);
callback(oauth2Client);
}
});
}
/**

*
* @param {google.auth.OAuth2} oauth2Client The OAuth2 client to get token for.

*/
function getNewToken(oauth2Client, callback) {
var authUrl = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
access_type: 'offline',
scope: SCOPES
});
console.log('Authorize this app by visiting this url: ', authUrl);

}

});
});
}

function storeToken(token) {
try {
fs.mkdirSync(TOKEN_DIR);
} catch (err) {
if (err.code != 'EEXIST') {
throw err;
}
}
fs.writeFile(TOKEN_PATH, JSON.stringify(token));
console.log('Token stored to ' + TOKEN_PATH);
}
/**

auth: auth,
