Getting API keys for Google

Register an application

• Go to the Google API Console
• In the top bar, open the project list and create a new project

• Click New Project

• Enter the project name

After creating the project, configure it:

Select OAuth consent screen

Complete the steps:

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Important

The values you add must match the component's system settings. By default there are 2 scopes (enough for user name and email): "scope":"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"

After selecting the scopes, they appear in the list.

Step 4

You can add several test users (email addresses) to test before verifying your project.

On the Summary step, review the data and finish this section.

Next, get the credentials:

Select Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID

Choose Web application and set the redirect URL to https://domain.com/?hauth.done=Google

After clicking Create you get the client ID and secret.

Enter these in your site's system settings.

Service-side setup is done at this point.

You can submit the app for verification and publish it (until then, only test users can sign in; others will see an "app not verified" warning).

Important

To pass verification you must:

• Use the sign-in button style from the Google Style Guide, even if it doesn't match your design
• Link to your privacy policy from every page (especially the homepage)
• Include text similar to this in your privacy policy:

"By using Google services, you entrust us with your personal information. Google is used for sign-in. For more on Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service see here."
