As of version googleAuthR>=1.0.0
the OAuth2 and
service JSON authentication is provided by gargle. Refer to that
documentation for details.
The plan is to migrate as much functionality to gargle
from googleAuthR
, but backward compatibility will be
maintained for all packages depending on googleAuthR
in the
meantime.
Once there is feature parity, client packages can then migrate
totally to gargle
. At time of writing some of the major
features not in gargle
yet are:
If you are not using the above then you can use gargle
directly now. Otherwise you can still use googleAuthR
that
will use the features of gargle
and wait for more features
to be migrated.
This library allows you to authenticate easily via local use in an OAuth2 flow; within a Shiny app; or via service accounts.
The main two functions are gar_auth()
and
gar_api_generator()
.
gar_auth
This takes care of getting the authentication token, storing it and refreshing. Use it before any call to a Google library.
gar_api_generator
This creates functions for you to use to interact with Google APIs. Use it within your own function definitions, to query the Google API you want.
Auto-build libraries for Google APIs with OAuth2 for both local and Shiny app use.

The googleAuthRverse
Slack team has been setup for support for using googleAuthR
and the libraries it helps create. Sign up via this Google form to get
access.
Here is a list of available Google
APIs to make with this library. The below libraries are all
cross-compatible as they use googleAuthR
for authentication
backend e.g. can use just one OAuth2 login flow and can be used in
multi-user Shiny apps.
Feel free to add your own via email or a pull request if you have used googleAuthR to build something cool.
googleAuthR
now has an R package generator which makes R
package skeletons you can use to build your own Google API R package
upon. Browse through the 154 options at this Github
repository.
googleAuthR is available on CRAN
