Why is there a consent screen for the first step to get the code? How would I possible click the Accept in a server environment? Could anyone please help me out if possible.
@rohanmenon96 you wouldn't do this on a server you would do it on your local machine. A server doesn't have a browser window. Get a refresh token then store it and upload that to your server
unrelated but it's worth the reference,
get access_token using google/apiclient library in Laravel(php8),
This access_token works with any project in 1 firebase
Found a good link, Goog OAUth2 Playground helped generate the refresh token with correct scope, etc. Doc here, link is in the doc:
