See more Google Tasks Examples

Demonstrates how to get an access token for the Google Tasks API using a Service Account JSON key. C#

bool success = false;

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First load the JSON key into a string.
Chilkat.FileAccess fac = new Chilkat.FileAccess();
string jsonKey = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/googleSvcAccountKeys/ChilkatCloud-48f7737c7505.json","utf-8");

    Debug.WriteLine(fac.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// A JSON private key should look like this:

// {
//   "type": "service_account",
//   "project_id": "chilkatcloud",
//   "private_key_id": "48f7737c7505bb88eee6a20d09993e10605d466e",
//   "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
//   "client_email": "pip-564@chilkatcloud.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
//   "client_id": "109982228323456925225",
//   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
//   "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
//   "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
//   "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/pip-564%40chilkatcloud.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
// }
