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

loOauth2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.OAuth2')

* For Google OAuth2, set the listen port equal to the port used
* in the Authorized Redirect URL for the Client ID.
* For example, in this case the Authorized Redirect URL would be http://localhost:3017/
* Your app should choose a port not likely not used by any other application.
loOauth2.ListenPort = 3017

loOauth2.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth"
loOauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token"

* Replace these with actual values.
loOauth2.ClientId = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-ID"
loOauth2.ClientSecret = "GOOGLE-CLIENT-SECRET"

loOauth2.CodeChallenge = 1
loOauth2.CodeChallengeMethod = "S256"

* This is a scope for Google Photos.  See https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/authentication-authorization
* This scope provides read/write access but not sharing.
loOauth2.Scope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary"

* Begin the OAuth2 three-legged flow.  This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.
lcUrl = loOauth2.StartAuth()
IF (loOauth2.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Launch the system's default browser navigated to the URL.
lnSuccess = loOauth2.LaunchBrowser(lcUrl)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loOauth2.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Now wait for the authorization.
* We'll wait for a max of 120 seconds.
lnNumMsWaited = 0
DO WHILE (lnNumMsWaited < 120000) AND (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3)
    loOauth2.SleepMs(100)
    lnNumMsWaited = lnNumMsWaited + 100
ENDDO

* If there was no response from the browser within 120 seconds, then 
* the AuthFlowState will be equal to 1 or 2.
* 1: Waiting for Redirect. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting to receive the redirect HTTP request from the browser.
* 2: Waiting for Final Response. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the final access token response.
* In that case, cancel the background task started in the call to StartAuth.
IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState < 3) THEN
    loOauth2.Cancel()
    ? "No response from the browser!"
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Check the AuthFlowState to see if authorization was granted, denied, or if some error occurred
* The possible AuthFlowState values are:
* 3: Completed with Success. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the successful JSON response is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
* 5: Failed Prior to Completion. The OAuth2 flow failed to complete, the background thread exited, and the error information is available in the FailureInfo property.
IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState = 5) THEN
    ? "OAuth2 failed to complete."
    ? loOauth2.FailureInfo
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState = 4) THEN
    ? "OAuth2 authorization was denied."
    ? loOauth2.AccessTokenResponse
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

IF (loOauth2.AuthFlowState <> 3) THEN
    ? "Unexpected AuthFlowState:" + STR(loOauth2.AuthFlowState)
    RELEASE loOauth2
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Save the full JSON access token response to a file.
loSbJson = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbJson.Append(loOauth2.AccessTokenResponse)
loSbJson.WriteFile("qa_data/tokens/googlePhotos.json","utf-8",0)

* The saved JSON response looks like this:
* {
*   "access_token": "ya29.GlamBqWR6cp8lEfJMmTHVEua45912XLKoq4djyHl_Z3CEIzsPLIZkJSGie5oOrbaggy1rjJHn1zW5bjqSesGr5MEYIp9Hx-0CuvjVYf8srg2jeaDMwMACvzemp43",
*   "expires_in": 3600,
*   "refresh_token": "1/rl6k16nysDl9Bp1EhRH9F1WyRIoiSQAvko49Z4yY694MT5V1QXLj2ibNZGaRgek0",
*   "scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary",
*   "token_type": "Bearer"
* }
