(PowerShell) Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App
Demonstrates how to get a Yahoo Email OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script.
This example requires a browser window to be displayed to allow the Yahoo account owner to authorize the access. The code for displaying the web browser is omitted. Suggestions for a few programming languages are provided in code comments. You'll need to add the code to display a web browser and navigate to the URL returned by the call to oauth2.StartAuth. For more information, see https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth2/guide/
Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-9.5.0-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"
# First, you must define your app in Yahoo Developer (https://developer.yahoo.com/apps/) like this:
#
# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
$oauth2 = New-Object Chilkat.OAuth2
# For a desktop app, you must provide a script on your web server to redirect to "http://localhost/<portNumber>"
# It can be written in C#, PHP, or whatever desired. It must include the query string in the redirection.
# For example, in PHP your script would look like this:
# <?php
# header( 'Location: http://localhost:3017?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] );
# ?>
$oauth2.AppCallbackUrl = "https://yourwebserver.com/OAuth2.php"
$oauth2.ListenPort = 3017
$oauth2.AuthorizationEndpoint = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/request_auth"
$oauth2.TokenEndpoint = "https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/get_token"
# Replace these with actual values.
$oauth2.ClientId = "CLIENT_ID"
$oauth2.ClientSecret = "CLIENT_SECRET"
# Do not send the "scope" query param for Yahoo OAuth2.
$oauth2.UncommonOptions = "NO_OAUTH2_SCOPE"
# Begin the OAuth2 three-legged flow. This returns a URL that should be loaded in a browser.
$url = $oauth2.StartAuth()
if ($oauth2.LastMethodSuccess -ne $true) {
$($oauth2.LastErrorText)
exit
}
$($url)
# At this point, your application should load the URL in a browser.
# For example,
# in C#: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
# in Java: Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI(url));
# in VBScript: Set wsh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
# wsh.Run url
# in Xojo: ShowURL(url) (see http://docs.xojo.com/index.php/ShowURL)
# in Dataflex: Runprogram Background "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" sUrl
# The Google account owner would interactively accept or deny the authorization request.
# Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
# Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
# Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
# System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
# Now wait for the authorization.
# We'll wait for a max of 30 seconds.
$numMsWaited = 0
while (($numMsWaited -lt 30000) -and ($oauth2.AuthFlowState -lt 3)) {
$oauth2.SleepMs(100)
$numMsWaited = $numMsWaited + 100
}
# If there was no response from the browser within 30 seconds, then
# the AuthFlowState will be equal to 1 or 2.
# 1: Waiting for Redirect. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting to receive the redirect HTTP request from the browser.
# 2: Waiting for Final Response. The OAuth2 background thread is waiting for the final access token response.
# In that case, cancel the background task started in the call to StartAuth.
if ($oauth2.AuthFlowState -lt 3) {
$oauth2.Cancel()
$("No response from the browser!")
exit
}
# Check the AuthFlowState to see if authorization was granted, denied, or if some error occurred
# The possible AuthFlowState values are:
# 3: Completed with Success. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the successful JSON response is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
# 4: Completed with Access Denied. The OAuth2 flow has completed, the background thread exited, and the error JSON is available in AccessTokenResponse property.
# 5: Failed Prior to Completion. The OAuth2 flow failed to complete, the background thread exited, and the error information is available in the FailureInfo property.
if ($oauth2.AuthFlowState -eq 5) {
$("OAuth2 failed to complete.")

exit
}
if ($oauth2.AuthFlowState -eq 4) {
