I've searched around a lot and seen various answers. Some seem like they may be outdated, and others use gems (omnicontacts) that I can't seem to get working with devise.
In my situation, I already get an oauth token from Google successfully. Now I'm trying to send a get request to the url given by Google to get all my contacts. I'm able to do this in Google's oauth2 playground, but not from my rails app.
Here is the relevant code:
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
def get_google_contacts(auth_token)
uri = URI.parse("https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?oauth_token=#{auth_token}&max-results=50000&alt=json")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE # You should use VERIFY_PEER in production
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
response = http.request(request)
contacts = JSON.parse(response.body)
puts contacts
end
end
Notebooks Controller: this is where I want a user to be able to access their contacts from Google.
def show
@contacts = current_user.get_google_contacts(current_user.oauth_token)
end
Here is the error log I get in my local:
JSON::ParserError in NotebooksController#show
746: unexpected token at '<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Error
401
(Client Error)!!1</title>
<p><b>401.</b>
<ins>That's an error.</ins></p>
<p>There was an error in your request.
<ins>That's all we know.</ins></p></body></html>'
I think I may be using incompatible techniques to parse the xml I get from Google into json, but that is basically what I want to do. The only Rails related documentation I found in Google API documentation was dated 2009, but it mentioned the gdata gem. Should I be using that?
Thank you so much for any help on this.
EDIT
This is the response I get from Google Oauth2 Playground on a 200 ok (https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/):

EDIT #2
Ok, I've isolated my problem. I'm getting Net::HTTPUnauthorized on my get request. Here is the updated code for the get request I'm making to Google Contacts API:
uri = URI.parse("https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?max-results=50000")
# headers = { "access_token" => "#{auth_token}" }
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
request.initialize_http_header({ "access_token" => "#{auth_token}" })
response = http.request(request)
puts response.code
puts response
That is the same url I am using in Google Oauth2 playground.
