How to access Google APIs using OAuth 2.0 in Postman
Blog post from Postman
OAuth 2.0 is a widely used open-standard protocol for authorization that enhances API data security by allowing third-party applications to access user data without requiring the sharing of credentials. It involves roles such as the resource owner, resource server, client, and authorization server to facilitate secure access through access and refresh tokens, with JSON Web Tokens being a common format for these tokens. This process includes obtaining a client ID and secret, requesting user authorization, and using generated tokens to access resources, all while ensuring user control over data access. The guide also demonstrates using Postman to access Google APIs, specifically the Google Sheets API, highlighting steps to set up a project, obtain credentials, authorize with Postman, manage tokens, and revoke access if needed. The tutorial emphasizes secure practices like storing sensitive information in variables and provides resources for further learning.
