Single sign on for google api's using Scribe?

Is there anyway to retrieve the Google Oauth refresh_token using Scribe?

I am building an app that requires several scopes mixed between java Gdata and Google api java client libraries -- and I am looking for a Single Sign On (SSO) when a user of my app signs in. However because of the state of current Google Apps API's requiring Oauth 1 or Oauth 2 depending on which library / scope you need, I'm a bit stuck.

  • Oauth 1 (java gdata e.g. analytics data export scope) - requires the access_token secret
  • Oauth 2 (google api java client e.g. analytics calendar scope) - require a refresh token, which is not avail currently in a Scribe OAuth 1 call

Any tips / advice? Anyone managing this with a single sign on?

Solution

  • Scribe has added support for Google OAuth API. I used scribe 1.2.2 and it worked just fine for me.
