Will tokens with Google plus scope invalidate after API shutdown


Google has announced the shutdown of Google+ scopes and APIs on March 7th.

We have multiple Google scopes approved for a single refresh token so I guess my question is will the token totally invalidate after the shutdown?

For example, I have both contact scope (https://www.google.com/m8/feeds) and Google+ scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me) approved for a refresh token.

After Google plus shutdown on March 7th, will I still be able to request Google Contacts APIs with this token?


Solution

  • As long as the refresh token has other valid scopes, they will continue to work. Essentially, the plus.me scope will be "removed" from the token.
