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

@MauGianfa , I just tried this (from a few comments ago) and it's fine. Did you try it?

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

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!

urllib3<2.0.0 seems to install 1.26.18 which doesn't work for me for some reason

hardcoding to 1.25.1 seems to work currently

Looking at the threads here, I wonder if it was working until last week.

I couldn't use it, but I was able to do it using the method you showed me here, so I'll just note it.

What are the security implications of using a master token? Can anyone use that to access my whole google account at any time? Can access using the token be revoked?

So the folks like @CaliLuke @Nemesis24 that got their Master Tokens but had trouble putting them into the integration config window... did it ever work? what's the trick?

FWIW if I run the script multiple times, I get different master tokens every time

If anyone is getting urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='android.clients.google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /auth (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1129)'))) like me and @r74tech

I cleared it by using Mozilla CA certificate from curl

I added this after the imports to force python to use this cert instead of default (you can modify this to download the cert somewhere else if you like, I use it in a container so I don't bother):

import urllib.request

# Download the SSL certificate
urllib.request.urlretrieve('https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem', 'cacert.pem')

# Set downloaded cert to be used
os.environ['CURL_CA_BUNDLE'] = f'{os.getcwd()}/cacert.pem'

Hope it helps.

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

This worked for me, many thanks.

Hello,

I get a android id problem in my script

@BimpArno

Am getting the SSL certverication error (i think)

requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='android.clients.google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /auth (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)')))

looked at this:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-disable-security-certificate-checks-for-requests-in-python/

but no idea how to add this to the script

@BimpArno
Copy link

or can someone explain how to do that docker

Since there are several issues getting the token reliable on different environments, you can use a docker container which was created solely for this use: https://hub.docker.com/r/breph/ha-google-home_get-token. If you choose to use this container, run the following command:

$ docker run --rm -it breph/ha-google-home_get-token

i have no clue what to do here

@edx-sayed-salem

@BimpArno you can edit get_tokens.py of the docker image you linked and rebuild it with its Dockerfile, it's all here I believe. Add the lines from a few comments ago. If it is that same issue, it should work.
