JavaScript quickstart

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Quickstarts explain how to set up and run an app that calls a Google Workspace API.

Google Workspace quickstarts use the API client libraries to handle some details of the authentication and authorization flow. We recommend that you use the client libraries for your own apps. Before you can run the sample app, each quickstart requires that you turn on authentication and authorization. If you're unfamiliar with authentication and authorization for Google Workspace APIs, read the Authentication and authorization overview.

Create a JavaScript web application that makes requests to the Reseller API.

Objectives

  • Set up your environment.
  • Set up the sample.
  • Run the sample.

Prerequisites

  • A Google Reseller domain instance.
  • A fully executed Google Workspace partner agreement.

Set up your environment

To complete this quickstart, set up your environment.

Enable the API

Before using Google APIs, you need to turn them on in a Google Cloud project. You can turn on one or more APIs in a single Google Cloud project.

  • In the Google Cloud console, enable the Reseller API.

    Enable the API

Authorize credentials for a web application

To authenticate as an end user and access user data in your app, you need to create one or more OAuth 2.0 Client IDs. A client ID is used to identify a single app to Google's OAuth servers. If your app runs on multiple platforms, you must create a separate client ID for each platform.
  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu > APIs & Services > Credentials.

    Go to Credentials

  2. Click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID.
  3. Click Application type > Web application.
  4. In the Name field, type a name for the credential. This name is only shown in the Google Cloud console.
  5. Add authorized URIs related to your app:
    • Client-side apps (JavaScript)–Under Authorized JavaScript origins, click Add URI. Then, enter a URI to use for browser requests. This identifies the domains from which your application can send API requests to the OAuth 2.0 server.
    • Server-side apps (Java, Python, and more)–Under Authorized redirect URIs, click Add URI. Then, enter an endpoint URI to which the OAuth 2.0 server can send responses.
  6. Click Create. The OAuth client created screen appears, showing your new Client ID and Client secret.

    Note the Client ID. Client secrets aren't used for Web applications.

  7. Click OK. The newly created credential appears under OAuth 2.0 Client IDs.
  8. Optional: If you're creating credentials as a prerequisite for a JavaScript quickstart, you must also generate an API key.

Make a note of these credentials because you need them later in this quickstart.

Set up the sample

  1. In your working directory, create a file named index.html.

  2. In the index.html file, paste the following sample code:

    adminSDK/reseller/index.html
    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Google Workspace Reseller API Quickstart</title>

    Replace the following:

Run the sample

  1. In your working directory, start a web server:

    Python 2.x

    python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

    Python 3.x

    python3 -m http.server 8000

  2. In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:8000.

  3. The first time you run the sample, it prompts you to authorize access:

    1. If you're not already signed in to your Google Account, you're prompted to sign in. If you're signed in to multiple accounts, select one account to use for authorization.
    2. Click Accept.
    3. Copy the code from the browser, paste it into the command-line prompt, and press Enter.

    Authorization information is stored in the file system, so the next time you run the sample code, you aren't prompted for authorization.

You have successfully created your first JavaScript application that makes requests to the Reseller API.
