Edit and view auth configuration

Source: R/gads_auth.R
gads_auth_configure.Rd

These functions give more control over and visibility into the auth configuration than gads_auth() does. gads_auth_configure() lets the user specify their own:

  • OAuth app, which is used when obtaining a user token.

  • API key. If rgoogleads is de-authorized via gads_deauth(), all requests are sent with an API key in lieu of a token. See the vignette How to get your own API credentials for more. If the user does not configure these settings, internal defaults are used. gads_oauth_app() and gads_api_key() retrieve the currently configured OAuth app and API key, respectively.

Usage

gads_auth_configure(app, path, api_key, developer_token)

gads_auth_cache_path()

gads_open_auth_cache_folder()

gads_api_key()

gads_developer_token()

gads_oauth_app()

Arguments

app

OAuth app, in the sense of httr::oauth_app().

path

JSON downloaded from Google Cloud Platform Console, containing a client id (aka key) and secret, in one of the forms supported for the txt argument of jsonlite::fromJSON() (typically, a file path or JSON string).

api_key

API key.

developer_token

Your Google Ads Developer Token.

Value

  • gads_auth_configure(): An object of R6 class gargle::AuthState, invisibly.

  • gads_oauth_app(): the current user-configured httr::oauth_app().

  • gads_api_key(): the current user-configured API key.
