How can I get moving with Google My Business API from NodeJS - node.js

I am trying to build an app where users can connect their Google My Business profiles and then select any of them any time to post content and product updates to their GMB businesses via my app.
I have filled this Form several times with no success. Google support team keep turning me around. No progress made so far.
I am using NodeJS for my backend server.
Here is what I have tried code-wise to fetch the connected Business accounts of an authenticated user
const { google } = require('googleapis');
const mybusinessaccountmanagement = google.mybusinessaccountmanagement('v1');
async fetchGoogleMyBusinessAccounts(req,res) {
let accessToken = //Redacted
const authCredentials = //Redacted
const oauth2Client = //Redacted
google.options({ auth: oauth2Client });
try {
let data = await mybusinessaccountmanagement.accounts.list();
console.log(`GMB Accounts response = ${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`);
} catch (e) {
console.log('Error retrieving GMB Accounts: Full error below:');
console.log(e); //I keep getting Quota exceeded
}
}
Calling the function above always comes back with
Quota exceeded error
Please, what do I do differently to make head-way?
Thank you

This form mentioned under Request access to the APIs should help.
The one you were trying is for the old Google My Business API.

Listing Business Accounts under Google My Business API

I have authenticated against a Google Account and trying to fetch the Businesses on that account using the Google My Business API.
I can't seem to find any samples on how to do that using the Google NodeJS Client Libraries.
Here is what I tried:
async fetchGoogleMyBusinessAccounts() {
console.log(`Fetching GMB Accounts`);
let authCredentials= ...
const oauth2Client = initOAuth2Client(platform, authCredentials);
google.options({ auth: oauth2Client });
let gmbAccountManagement = google.mybusinessaccountmanagement(); //There seems to be an issue on this line
try {
let myBusinessAccounts = await gmbAccountManagement.accounts.list();
console.log(`Connected Accounts = ${JSON.stringify(myBusinessAccounts, null, 2)}`);
} catch (e) {
console.log(`Error Listing GMB Accounts`);
}
}
But the error I keep getting is:
Argument error: Accepts only string or object
I can't seem to figure out how what might be wrong and how best to get about this.
Any insights would be really appreciated.
I think you may be missing the API version:
const mybusinessaccountmanagement = google.mybusinessaccountmanagement('v1');

How to use googleapis google.auth.GoogleAuth() for google API service account in Twilio serverless function?

How to use googleapis google.auth.GoogleAuth() for google API service account in Twilio serverless function, since there is no FS path to provide as a keyFile value?
Based on the example here ( https://www.section.io/engineering-education/google-sheets-api-in-nodejs/ ) and here ( Google api node.js client documentation ) my code is based on the example here ( Receive an inbound SMS ) and looks like...
const {google} = require('googleapis')
const fs = require('fs')
exports.handler = async function(context, event, callback) {
const twiml = new Twilio.twiml.MessagingResponse()
// console.log(Runtime.getAssets()["/gservicecreds.private.json"].path)
console.log('Opening google API creds for examination...')
const creds = JSON.parse(
fs.readFileSync(Runtime.getAssets()["/gservicecreds.private.json"].path, "utf8")
)
console.log(creds)
// connect to google sheet
console.log("Getting googleapis connection...")
const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
keyFile: Runtime.getAssets()["/gservicecreds.private.json"].path,
scopes: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets",
})
const authClientObj = await auth.getClient()
const sheets = google.sheets({version: 'v4', auth: authClientObj})
const spreadsheetId = "myspreadsheetID"
console.log("Processing message...")
if (String(event.Body).trim().toLowerCase() == 'KEYWORD') {
console.log('DO SOMETHING...')
try {
// see https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/guides/values#reading_a_single_range
let response = await sheets.spreadsheets.values.get({
spreadsheetId: spreadsheetId,
range: "'My Sheet'!B2B1000"
})
console.log("Got data...")
console.log(response)
console.log(response.result)
console.log(response.result.values)
} catch (error) {
console.log('An error occurred...')
console.log(error)
console.log(error.response)
console.log(error.errors)
}
}
// Return the TwiML as the second argument to `callback`
// This will render the response as XML in reply to the webhook request
return callback(null, twiml)
...where the Asset referenced in the code is for a JSON generated from creating a key pair for a Google APIs Service Account and manually copy/pasting the JSON data as an Asset in the serverless function editor web UI.
I see error messages like...
An error occurred...
{ response: '[Object]', config: '[Object]', code: 403, errors: '[Object]' }
{ config: '[Object]', data: '[Object]', headers: '[Object]', status: 403, statusText: 'Forbidden', request: '[Object]' }
[ { message: 'The caller does not have permission', domain: 'global', reason: 'forbidden' } ]
I am assuming that this is due to the keyFile not being read in right at the auth const declaration (IDK how to do it since all the example I see assume a local filepath as the value, but IDK how to do have the function access that file for a serverless function (my attempt in the code block is really just a shot in the dark)).
FYI, I can see that the service account has an Editor role in the google APIs console (though I notice the "Resources this service account can access" has the error
"Could not fund an ancestor of the selected project where you have access to view a policy report on at least one ancestor"
(I really have no idea what that means or implies at all, very new to this)). Eg...
Can anyone help with what could be going wrong here?
(BTW if there is something really dumb/obvious that I am missing (eg. a typo) just LMK in a comment so can delete this post (as it would then not serve any future value of others))
The caller does not have permission', domain: 'global', reason: 'forbidden
This actually means that the currently authenticated user (the service account) does ot have access to do what you are asking it to do.
You are trying to access a spread sheet.
Is this sheet on the service accounts google drive account? If not did you share the sheet with the service account?
The service account is just like any other user if it doesn't have access to something it cant access it. Go to the google drive web application and share the sheet with the service account like you would share it with any other user just use the service account email address i think its called client id its the one with an # in it.
delegate to user on your domain
If you set up delegation properly then you can have the service account act as a user on your domain that does have access to the file.
delegated_credentials = credentials.with_subject('userWithAccess#YourDomain.org')

Xero API 403 - AuthenticationUnsuccessful error

I am using the Xero Api with Nodejs and the xero-node library.
I have completed the oAuth flow and saved the token to the database. The issue i am now having is continually getting a 403 forbidden error when attempting to get anything from Xero be that Contacts, Accounts or Users. Sample code is below
I can get tenants ok without an issue however anything else doesn't work. I have checked the scopes to make sure when I am setting up the client they are correct which they are.
var getStuff = async(tokenSet) => {
await xero.setTokenSet(tokenSet);
const tenants = await xero.updateTenants();
const xeroTenantId = tenants[0].id // {String} Xero identifier for Tenant
const ifModifiedSince = new Date("2020-02-06T12:17:43.202-08:00");
const where = 'IsSubscriber==true'; // {String} Filter by an any element
const order = 'LastName ASC'; // {String} Order by an any element
console.log(tenants);
try {
const response = await xero.accountingApi.getUsers(xeroTenantId, ifModifiedSince, where, order);
console.log(response.body || response.response.statusCode)
}
catch (err) {
/// console.log(err);
console.log(`There was an ERROR! \n Status Code: ${err.response.statusCode}.`);
console.log(`ERROR: \n ${JSON.stringify(err.response.body, null, 2)}`);
}
}
Which scopes have been added to the access token you are passing through? You can decode your token here https://jwt.io/
Also - you need to pass the ‘tenant.tenantId’ to the function. I believe the tenant.id actually relates to the connection id which is coming back from the /connections endpoint.
My hunch is that is the issue. Also curious how that’s working, as updateTenants() should have the empty function call on the end. Is that working for you?

Google Calendar API and Service Account permission error

I'm trying to integrate the Google Calendar API in my app.
So far i've managed to do this:
Created a new project on Cloud Platform
Enabled Calendar API
Added a new service account with role: Owner
Generated jwt.json
Granted domain-wide for that service account
Shared a calendar with that service account (modify rights)
Enabled in the GSuite the option for everyone out of the organisation to modify the events
Now, my code on node.js looks like this:
const { JWT } = require('google-auth-library');
const client = new JWT(
keys.client_email,
null,
keys.private_key,
['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar']
);
const url = `https://dns.googleapis.com/dns/v1/projects/${keys.project_id}`;
const rest = await client.request({url});
console.log(rest);
The error I get is:
Sending 500 ("Server Error") response:
Error: Insufficient Permission
Anyone has any ideea? This gets frustrating.
How about this modification?
I think that in your script, the endpoint and/or scope might be not correct.
Pattern 1:
In this pattern, your endpoint of https://dns.googleapis.com/dns/v1/projects/${keys.project_id} is used.
Modified script:
const { JWT } = require("google-auth-library");
const keys = require("###"); // Please set the filename of credential file of the service account.
async function main() {
const calendarId = "ip15lduoirvpitbgc4ppm777ag#group.calendar.google.com";
const client = new JWT(keys.client_email, null, keys.private_key, [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform' // <--- Modified
]);
const url = `https://dns.googleapis.com/dns/v1/projects/${keys.project_id}`;
const res = await client.request({ url });
console.log(res.data);
}
main().catch(console.error);
In this case, it is required to enable Cloud DNS API at API console. And it is required to pay. Please be careful with this.
I thought that the reason of your error message of Insufficient Permission might be this.
Pattern 2:
In this pattern, as a sample situation, the event list is retrieved from the calendar shared with the service account. If the calendar can be used with the service account, the event list is returned. By this, I think that you can confirm whether the script works.
Modified script:
const { JWT } = require("google-auth-library");
const keys = require("###"); // Please set the filename of credential file of the service account.
async function main() {
const calendarId = "###"; // Please set the calendar ID.
const client = new JWT(keys.client_email, null, keys.private_key, [
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar"
]);
const url = `https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/${calendarId}/events`; // <--- Modified
const res = await client.request({ url });
console.log(res.data);
}
main().catch(console.error);
Note:
This modified script supposes that you are using google-auth-library-nodejs of the latest version.

Getting Error: unauthorized_client when trying to authorize script

I've created service account with domain wide delegation and its scopes (in Admin console and Developer console) as described in documentation. I've been trying this for a week now and I am stuck. This is my code:
const google = require('googleapis');
const gmail = google.gmail('v1');
const directory = google.admin('directory_v1');
const scopes = [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user.readonly'
];
const key = require('./service_key.json');
var authClient = new google.auth.JWT(
key.client_email,
key,
key.private_key,
scopes,
"kruno#example.com"
);
authClient.authorize(function(err, tokens){
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
// API call methods here...
});
I get this error:
Error: unauthorized_client
I am unable to understand:
Is this proper technique for calling Google API methods from server-side scripts without any user interaction? (under domain only)
How do service account and actual user account communicate this way?
I heard about callback URI, am I missing it?
I think you are missing the final step which is giving access to your application in the control panel of your domain.
You can follow doc properly to activate it with your application
https://developers.google.com/+/domains/authentication/delegation
Also you can start with your first call step here
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/first-api-call
