Google Cloud API with POSTMAN

For reasons if you are not using the Google API-Explorer and if you are using POSTMAN client to access Google Cloud API’s then you would face with an interesting question about how to generate a token so that i could authenticate to google cloud

Steps to Generate a Token

1. Login to Google Cloud Console
2. In API & Services -> Credentials create an OAuth 2.0 client ID
3. Authorize the redirect URL
4. Login to Postman client/browser app
5. Use the below settings in postman

Token name : Google Token
Callback URL : https://appnameorurlhere.com for eg something.googleapis.com/
Auth URL : https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth
Access Token URL : https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
Client ID : CLIENTIDHERE.googleusercontent.com
Client Secret : CLIENTSECRETHERE
Scope : https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform

Generate the OAuth ID and Authorize the redirect URL

Request a token and use the token for your requests
