I am trying to use Google Oauth API to get userinfo. It works perfectly for Google Plus API but I am trying to create a backup in case the user doesn\'t have google plus acc
Was missing scopes
$client->setScopes(array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile'));
Works like a charm now!
I'm not sure if it helps, but since the Google API PHP Client was updated, I get userinfo in this way:
$oauth = new Google_Service_Oauth2($googleClient);
var_dump($oauth->userinfo->get());
The Google API PHP client library has changed - here is how you fetch user information:
<?php
require_once('google-api-php-client-1.1.7/src/Google/autoload.php');
const TITLE = 'My amazing app';
const REDIRECT = 'https://example.com/myapp/';
session_start();
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName(TITLE);
$client->setClientId('REPLACE_ME.apps.googleusercontent.com');
$client->setClientSecret('REPLACE_ME');
$client->setRedirectUri(REDIRECT);
$client->setScopes(array(Google_Service_Plus::PLUS_ME));
$plus = new Google_Service_Plus($client);
if (isset($_REQUEST['logout'])) {
unset($_SESSION['access_token']);
}
if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
if (strval($_SESSION['state']) !== strval($_GET['state'])) {
error_log('The session state did not match.');
exit(1);
}
$client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
header('Location: ' . REDIRECT);
}
if (isset($_SESSION['access_token'])) {
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['access_token']);
}
if ($client->getAccessToken() && !$client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
try {
$me = $plus->people->get('me');
$body = '<PRE>' . print_r($me, TRUE) . '</PRE>';
} catch (Google_Exception $e) {
error_log($e);
$body = htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage());
}
# the access token may have been updated lazily
$_SESSION['access_token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
} else {
$state = mt_rand();
$client->setState($state);
$_SESSION['state'] = $state;
$body = sprintf('<P><A HREF="%s">Login</A></P>',
$client->createAuthUrl());
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE><?= TITLE ?></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?= $body ?>
<P><A HREF="<?= REDIRECT ?>?logout">Logout</A></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

UPDATE 2017:
You can add the fields to be retrieved with:
const FIELDS = 'id,name,image';
$me = $plus->people->get('me', array('fields' => FIELDS));
