CkAuthGoogle Perl Reference Documentation

CkAuthGoogle

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Provides functionality for authenticating calls to the Google Cloud Platform API and Google Apps API using a service account.

Object Creation

$obj = chilkat::CkAuthGoogle->new();

Properties

AccessToken
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_AccessToken($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->accessToken();
$authGoogle->put_AccessToken($strVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The access token to be used in Google API requests. This property is set on a successful call to ObtainAccessToken.

<b>Important:</b> This class is used for authenticating calls to the Google Cloud Platform API and Google Apps API using a <b>service account.</b>. 
For 3-legged OAuth2, where a browser must be used to interactively get permission from the Google account owner, use the Chilkat OAuth2 class/object.

DebugLogFilePath
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_DebugLogFilePath($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->debugLogFilePath();
$authGoogle->put_DebugLogFilePath($strVal);

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
EmailAddress
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_EmailAddress($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->emailAddress();
$authGoogle->put_EmailAddress($strVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The client email address of the service account. If a JSON key is used, then the client_email should already be specified within the JSON key, and this property is unused. This property must be set if using a P12 key.

top
ExpireNumSeconds
# $intVal is an integer
$intVal = $authGoogle->get_ExpireNumSeconds();
$authGoogle->put_ExpireNumSeconds($intVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The expiration time, in seconds, of the access token to be requested. The maximum value is 1 hour (3600 seconds). The default value is 3600.

top
Iat
# $intVal is an integer
$intVal = $authGoogle->get_Iat();
$authGoogle->put_Iat($intVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.77

This property can be set to override the default current date/time value for the "iat" claim of the JWT. It can be set to a value indicating the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z UTC.

The default value is 0, which indicates to use the iat value for the current system date/time. Unless explicitly needed, always leave this property at the default value.

top
JsonKey
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_JsonKey($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->jsonKey();
$authGoogle->put_JsonKey($strVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The JSON key for obtaining an access token. An application must set either the P12 or JSON private key, but not both.

top
LastErrorHtml
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_LastErrorHtml($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->lastErrorHtml();

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_LastErrorText($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->lastErrorText();

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_LastErrorXml($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->lastErrorXml();

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
# $boolVal is a boolean
$boolVal = $authGoogle->get_LastMethodSuccess();
$authGoogle->put_LastMethodSuccess($boolVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of 1 indicates success, a value of 0 indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = 1 and failure = 0.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to 1. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
NumSecondsRemaining
# $intVal is an integer
$intVal = $authGoogle->get_NumSecondsRemaining();
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

If the access token is valid, contains the number of seconds remaining until it expires. A value of 0 indicates an invalid or expired access token.

top
Scope
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_Scope($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->scope();
$authGoogle->put_Scope($strVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

A space-delimited list of the permissions that the application requests.

top
SubEmailAddress
# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_SubEmailAddress($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->subEmailAddress();
$authGoogle->put_SubEmailAddress($strVal);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access.

top
Utf8
# $boolVal is a boolean
$boolVal = $authGoogle->get_Utf8();
$authGoogle->put_Utf8($boolVal);

When set to 1, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to 0 (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to 1, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to 0, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.

top
Valid
# $boolVal is a boolean
$boolVal = $authGoogle->get_Valid();
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

1 if the AccessToken property contains a valid non-expired access token obtained via the call to ObtainAccessToken.

top
VerboseLogging
# $boolVal is a boolean
$boolVal = $authGoogle->get_VerboseLogging();
$authGoogle->put_VerboseLogging($boolVal);

If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top

# $strVal is a string
# $ckStr is a CkString
$authGoogle->get_Version($ckStr);
$strVal = $authGoogle->version();
