See more Google APIs Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh a Google Access Token. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

# It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
# This example loads the JSON access token file 
# saved by this example: Google OAuth2 Access Token

$jsonToken = chilkat::CkJsonObject->new();
$success = $jsonToken->LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/_googleDrive.json");
if ($success != 1) {
    print "Failed to load _googleDrive.json" . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# The access token JSON looks like this:

# 	{ 
# 	 "access_token": "abac.Ci-ZabcdF37-NUrmSzxbHxTsMbtlN-uPfabcdAQN_2ekzj0s5ofCzRabcdTDMGaa2Q",
# 	 "token_type": "Bearer",
# 	 "expires_in": 3600,
# 	 "refresh_token": "1/lEe5abcdNJ77eOSDBabcdkQGVmDalkwabcdR2Hatbo"
# 	}

# Replace these with actual values.

# Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
$success = $oauth2->RefreshAccessToken();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $oauth2->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
# our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.

# Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
