authorize

The authorize command manually authorizes an application.

This functionality is not strictly required as the oauth.authorizer object will automagically invoke the authorization protocol as necessary. This is a good way to verify the authorization secret for an application.

Usage

authorize <applicationName> <accessScope>*

The applicationName must be the name used when configuring the keys using the Google developer console (see documentation for the oauth2 package).

An accessScope represents a permission that a user must agree to during the authorization process. Normally access scopes are represented as URLs. When invoking authorize just use the final path element. For example, represent access scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive as drive.

• If no access scopes are provided the single drive scope is used.
• If drive is available authorize will attempt to list the first five items in the top-level directory as a kind of "ping".
