(Unicode C++) OAuth2 for a GMail using a JSON Service Account KeyThis example shows how to obtain an OAuth2 access token for Gmail using a Google Service Account and a JSON private key. Once acquired, the access token can be used to send emails. Remember, upon token expiration, this process needs to be repeated to obtain a new token. Note: This procedure is specific to OAuth2 with Google Service Account keys.
