Get tokens for Google Home Foyer API

Get tokens for Google Home Foyer API

Intro

This script (python 3) generates tokens that can be used when making requests to the Google Home Foyer API. There are 2 kinds of tokens used here:

  1. Master token - Is in the form aas_et/*** and is long lived. Needs Google username and password.
  2. Access token - Is in the form ya29.*** and lasts for an hour. Needs Master token to generate.

If you do not want to store the Google account password in plaintext, get the master token once, and set it as an override value.

It's safer/easier to generate an app password and use it instead of the actual password. It still has the same access as the regular password, but still better than using the real password while scripting. (https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords)

Usage

# Install python requirements
pip install gpsoauth

I don't know if this will help. I tried multiple scripts/permutations and kept getting the Could Not get token messages. For some reason I decided to edit get_tokens.py in vi/vim and notices that when copying the app password from the google webpage it adds hidden characters. I instead typed the password displayed and this worked.

Managed to get it working.

  • Setup Debian 11 LXC
  • apt install python3
  • mkdir mastertoken
  • cd mastertoken
  • apt install python3-venv
  • python3 -m venv venv
  • source venv/bin/activate
  • pip install "urllib3<2.0.0"
  • pip install gpsoauth
  • Generated an App Password "gpsoauth" and adapted get_token.py via
  • nano get_token.py (used get_token.py)
USERNAME = 'username@example.com'
PASSWORD = '<GENERATED-APP-PASSWORD>'
  • python3 get_token.py
[*] Getting master token...
[*] Master token: XXX
  • deleted App Password "gpsoauth"
  • Generated an App Password "Google Home Integration for Home Assistant"
  • used this App Password for Integration Setup

Best regards, Matthias Schabhüttl

Hi ,

how to do this step

Generated an App Password "gpsoauth"

Hopefully the App Password is the above one , i am not sure ?

I have an app password which I used for Password. It is not producing the access token. Below is the output

python3 get_tokens.py

This script generates tokens that can be used when making requests to the Google Home Foyer API.

I think having a account with passkeys is making this impossible even when making app passwords.

I tried a lot. get latest python v3.12.0 installed. run pip install gpsoauth - Ok. copy text of get_tokens.py raw text, saved to my pc. Change username to my google username full email address. password section, tried with app password generated by Google security. (note: it is 16 chars. google displayed with 4 sets with space in between. I tried with space or without). Even I turned off google 2 way auth method, so I can use my google password instead. I always get "Could not get master token", "Master token:None" , "Could not get access token", "Access token:None" don't know why? Anyone can help?

hi, i have my gogle account name and passwort included this scrpt. if i start its comes:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

if the / not working with this scipt? must i change my google password an all on google account aps using google passwort?

same story as above, I cannot get the script to work. I also have passkeys enabled, I tried using both my actual password and two different application passwords just in case.

Worked for me, first try.

molexx commented Feb 4, 2024

I got the double whammy here: the app password copy/paste from the Google website does indeed contain hidden characters; after I retyped that I tried several scripts (in homeassistant's terminal) and must be hitting the library issue, so retyped in the dockerised script is the way to go.

The docker command in the main readme is slicker than the one in the comment linked above as it does it all on one line.

https://github.com/leikoilja/ha-google-home?tab=readme-ov-file#master-token

So thanks @Telmo and @Brephlas !

@jnpetersen

utilizing the link that @molexx shared, I ended up modifying the docker run slightly so that I could get inside the container to make a few changes to the python itself.

docker run -it -d breph/ha-google-home_get-token

After it created, I did a docker ps to find the name of the container (I tried providing a name and it would always fail). Once this was created, I used the following:

docker exec -it tender_gates bash

tender_gates being the name it generated for me, but once running this, I was in the container.

I ran apt install nano just to make it easier to work with and then ran nano get_tokens.py to open the file. I commented out

USERNAME = input("what is your google mail address? (include @gmail.com): ")
PASSWORD = input("what is the password? (either use regular password or app password): ")

and replacing it with

USERNAME = '<FULL GMAIL EMAIL ADDRESS>'
PASSWORD = '<APP PASSWORD COPIED AND PASTED FROM GOOGLE>'

After making this change, press Ctrl + O and then press enter to Save the changes, then press Ctrl + X to exit nano.

When I ran it in the container by typing python3 get_tokens.py, I thought that was going to work but kept getting [!] Could not get master token. so I decided to change DEBUG = False to DEBUG = True, saved and exited nano again and ran it again and was provided:

[*] Getting master token...
{'Error': 'NeedsBrowser', 'Url': 'https://accounts.google.com/signin/continue?sarp=1&scc=1&continue=https://accounts.google.com/o/android/auth?hl%3Den_us%26xoauth_display_name%3DAndroid%2BLogin%2BService%26source%3DAndroid%2BLogin&plt=[... truncated ...]', 'ErrorDetail': 'To access your account, you must sign in on the web. Touch Next to start browser sign-in.'}
[!] Could not get master token.
[*] Master token: None

PROGRESS!! I held down Control and clicked the link which brought me to a browser to finish the authentication process from the web browser to authenticate the script to work. You may have to go through a few prompts (I did) and then it will end up at a page that says One Moment Please..., which at this point you can re-run python3 get_token.py and it should provide you with a lot more information than just the master and access tokens as DEBUG is still on, but you should be provided with the information needed.

Hope this helps someone.

installing gpsoauth==1.0.2 seems to work ok. Newer versions return the NeedsBrowser error.

Update
It also only worked on docker images based on: debian:bullseye and alpine:3.16. I didn't try below these versions but newer than those don't work. The openssl package version is 1.1.1 on debian:bullseye and alpine:3.16. Newer versions had version >3.0.0 like @artickl said.

Thank you! I just needed indeed to downgrade gpsoauth to 1.0.2 (previously install 1.0.4) to get rid of the NeedsBrowser error.
pip freeze
pip uninstall gpsoauth
pip install gpsoauth==1.0.2

Thanks. I can confirm using specific version of packages like this works:

FROM python:3.9-slim-bullseye
RUN pip install "urllib3<2.0.0" "gpsoauth==1.0.2"
COPY ./get_tokens.py ./
CMD python3 get_tokens.py
docker build -t get_tokens . && docker run --rm -it get_tokens

Hi,
I'v enabled debug on the script and get this error:

] Getting master token...
{'Error': 'BadAuthentication'}
[!] Could not get master token.
[
] Master token: None

[] Getting access token...
{'Error': 'BadAuthentication'}
[!] Could not get access token.

[*] Done.

Checked username and password many times are CORRECT. Created different app password, tried the account password but still get this error!!!
What am I missing out?

Thanks

If you use an application password and just copy-paste it from the Google screen, take care to remove the extra space or hyphens that are not part of the password.

This worked great. Humorously enough, I was facing this issue in June 2023 (last year) as you can see in my previous comments on this gist, I came back here and found the solution that worked the fastest. Thank you!
