How to get user id after login with google oauth [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can do one of the following:

1. perform a GET on www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo
2. decode the id_token that you get in the initial request, using a JWT library

I'd recommend the latter as it is more robust and doesn't require an extra call.

Answer 2

See Google's OAuth2 documentation for how to get information about the logged in user.

It's basically just a GET call to https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo with a correct access token. In the response the user id is included.

Note that you also need to include the correct scope in your very first redirect to Google:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile
