Get token by gapi

Question

I followed this link and made a test page of google login by gapi. It worked, and did return the profile details.

Previously, I had tried this appraoch by passport.js, but because of the fragment problem, I did not manage to make it work.

In the passportjs appraoch, we could get a token. Does anyone know how we could get a token by gapi?

Additionally, does anyone know why we don't need to specify a secret in the code of gapi?

Answer 1

You can get the token in the AuthResponse.

You do need an API key for gapi too:

gapi.client.init({
  'apiKey': 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  ...
})
