Retrieving date of birth and marital status with Google OAuth API

I'm trying to retrieve date of birth and marital status via Google OAuth api. I get below mentioned info by setting the scopes as https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile & https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email . Request URL is https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo

{
 "id": "my_id",
 "email": "[email protected]",
 "verified_email": true,
 "name": "full_name",
 "given_name": "first_name",
 "family_name": "last_name",
 "link": "https://plus.google.com/xxxxxxx",
 "picture": "https://xxxxxxxxx/photo.jpg",
 "gender": "male",
 "locale": "en"
}

I have birthday and marital status set in my profile, but I'm unable to get this info. What could the problem be?

Solution

  • Set scope to 

    https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login

    and request url is 

    https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me

    NOTE:- Relationship Status and Birthday only available to you if user set them public.

    Have a look to this google api explorer.

    I have tried this using grails oauth plugin and make my birthday and relationship status public it gives me 

    [birthday:1988-04-02, ..., relationshipStatus:single, ...]

    EDIT.................................................................................

    Q. New problem with email, I can't get it after changes

    You can set multiple scopes like:

    https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login

    and make two requests one for birthday and relationship status

    https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me

    and another for email

    https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo
