Google API Client “refresh token must be passed in or set as part of setAccessToken”

Question

I am currently facing a very strange problem, indeed I\'ve been following this very same guide (https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/quickstart/php) from Googl

Answer 1

I have faced the same issue with new google api library. Search for solution brought the following link: RefreshToken Not getting send back after I get new token google sheets API

Based on that information, I have modified the quickstart code part to fit my needs. After first authorization with Google I have obtained drive-php-quickstart.json which contains refresh_token that expires in 3600 seconds or one hour. The refresh token is issued only once, so if it is lost, then re-authorization is required. So, that to have it always in drive-php-quickstart.json I have done following:

// Refresh the token if it's expired.
if ($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
// save refresh token to some variable
$refreshTokenSaved = $client->getRefreshToken(); 

// update access token
$client->fetchAccessTokenWithRefreshToken($refreshTokenSaved); 

// pass access token to some variable
$accessTokenUpdated = $client->getAccessToken();

// append refresh token
$accessTokenUpdated['refresh_token'] = $refreshTokenSaved;

// save to file
file_put_contents($credentialsPath, json_encode($accessTokenUpdated)); 
}
