Class Credential (1.34.1)

public class Credential implements HttpExecuteInterceptor, HttpRequestInitializer, HttpUnsuccessfulResponseHandler

Thread-safe OAuth 2.0 helper for accessing protected resources using an access token, as well as optionally refreshing the access token when it expires using a refresh token.

Sample usage:

public static Credential createCredentialWithAccessTokenOnly( HttpTransport transport, JsonFactory jsonFactory, TokenResponse tokenResponse) { return new Credential(BearerToken.authorizationHeaderAccessMethod()).setFromTokenResponse( tokenResponse); }

public static Credential createCredentialWithRefreshToken( HttpTransport transport, JsonFactory jsonFactory, TokenResponse tokenResponse) { return new Credential.Builder(BearerToken.authorizationHeaderAccessMethod()).setTransport( transport) .setJsonFactory(jsonFactory) .setTokenServerUrl( new GenericUrl("https://server.example.com/token")) .setClientAuthentication(new BasicAuthentication("s6BhdRkqt3", "7Fjfp0ZBr1KtDRbnfVdmIw")) .build() .setFromTokenResponse(tokenResponse); }

If you need to persist the access token in a data store, use DataStoreFactory and Builder#addRefreshListener(CredentialRefreshListener) with DataStoreCredentialRefreshListener.

If you have a custom request initializer, request execute interceptor, or unsuccessful response handler, take a look at the sample usage for HttpExecuteInterceptor and HttpUnsuccessfulResponseHandler, which are interfaces that this class also implements.

Constructors

Credential(Credential.AccessMethod method)

public Credential(Credential.AccessMethod method)

Constructor with the ability to access protected resources, but not refresh tokens.

To use with the ability to refresh tokens, use Builder.

Parameter
Name	Description
`method`	`Credential.AccessMethod` method of presenting the access token to the resource server (for example BearerToken.AuthorizationHeaderAccessMethod)

Credential(Credential.Builder builder)

protected Credential(Credential.Builder builder)

Parameter
Name	Description
`builder`	`Credential.Builder` credential builder

Methods

executeRefreshToken()

protected TokenResponse executeRefreshToken()

Executes a request for new credentials from the token server.

The default implementation calls RefreshTokenRequest#execute() using the #getTransport(), #getJsonFactory(), #getRequestInitializer(), #getTokenServerEncodedUrl(), #getRefreshToken(), and the #getClientAuthentication(). If #getRefreshToken() is null, it instead returns null.

Subclasses may override for a different implementation. Implementations can assume proper thread synchronization is already taken care of inside #refreshToken().

Returns
Type	Description
`TokenResponse`	successful response from the token server or `null` if it is not possible to refresh the access token

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`	if an error response was received from the token server

getAccessToken()

public final String getAccessToken()

Returns the access token or null for none. If null the token needs to be refreshed using refreshToken().

Returns
Type	Description
`String`

getClientAuthentication()

public final HttpExecuteInterceptor getClientAuthentication()

Returns the client authentication or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`com.google.api.client.http.HttpExecuteInterceptor`

getClock()

public final Clock getClock()

Returns the clock used for expiration checks by this Credential. Mostly used for unit-testing.

Returns
Type	Description
`com.google.api.client.util.Clock`

getExpirationTimeMilliseconds()

public final Long getExpirationTimeMilliseconds()

Expected expiration time in milliseconds relative to the Java epoch, or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`Long`

getExpiresInSeconds()

public final Long getExpiresInSeconds()

Returns the remaining lifetime in seconds of the access token (for example 3600 for an hour from now, or -3600 if expired an hour ago) or null if unknown.

Returns
Type	Description
`Long`

getJsonFactory()

public final JsonFactory getJsonFactory()

Returns the JSON factory to use for parsing response for refresh token request or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory`

getMethod()

public final Credential.AccessMethod getMethod()

Return the method of presenting the access token to the resource server (for example BearerToken.AuthorizationHeaderAccessMethod).

Returns
Type	Description
`Credential.AccessMethod`

getRefreshListeners()

public final Collection<CredentialRefreshListener> getRefreshListeners()

Returns the unmodifiable collection of listeners for refresh token results.

Returns
Type	Description
`Collection<CredentialRefreshListener>`

getRefreshToken()

public final String getRefreshToken()

Returns the refresh token associated with the access token to be refreshed or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`String`

getRequestInitializer()

public final HttpRequestInitializer getRequestInitializer()

Returns the HTTP request initializer for refresh token requests to the token server or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestInitializer`

getTokenServerEncodedUrl()

public final String getTokenServerEncodedUrl()

Returns the encoded authorization server URL or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`String`

getTransport()

public final HttpTransport getTransport()

Return the HTTP transport for executing refresh token request or null for none.

Returns
Type	Description
`com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport`

handleResponse(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, boolean supportsRetry)

public boolean handleResponse(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, boolean supportsRetry)

Default implementation checks if WWW-Authenticate exists and contains a "Bearer" value (see rfc6750 section 3.1 for more details). If so, it calls #refreshToken in case the error code contains invalid_token. If there is no "Bearer" in WWW-Authenticate and the status code is HttpStatusCodes#STATUS_CODE_UNAUTHORIZED it calls #refreshToken. If #executeRefreshToken() throws an I/O exception, this implementation will log the exception and return false. Subclasses may override.

Parameters
Name	Description
`request`	`com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest`
`response`	`com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse`
`supportsRetry`	`boolean`

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`

initialize(HttpRequest request)

public void initialize(HttpRequest request)

Parameter
Name	Description
`request`	`com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest`

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

intercept(HttpRequest request)

public void intercept(HttpRequest request)

Default implementation is to try to refresh the access token if there is no access token or if we are 1 minute away from expiration. If token server is unavailable, it will try to use the access token even if has expired. If a 4xx error is encountered while refreshing the token, TokenResponseException is thrown. If successful, it will call #getMethod() and AccessMethod#intercept.

Subclasses may override.

Parameter
Name	Description
`request`	`com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest`

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

refreshToken()

public final boolean refreshToken()

Request a new access token from the authorization endpoint.

On success, it will call #setFromTokenResponse(TokenResponse), call CredentialRefreshListener#onTokenResponse with the token response, and return true. On error, it will call #setAccessToken(String) and #setExpiresInSeconds(Long) with null, call CredentialRefreshListener#onTokenErrorResponse with the token error response, and return false. If a 4xx error is encountered while refreshing the token, TokenResponseException is thrown.

If there is no refresh token, it will quietly return false.

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	whether a new access token was successfully retrieved

Exceptions
Type	Description
`IOException`

setAccessToken(String accessToken)
