Get Google Android Subscription API expiration time for a subscription token.

android, google-api, google-play

Solution

@imrankhan. Here's how to do it in Perl:

sub refreshAccessToken {
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token');
    $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    $req->content('grant_type=refresh_token&client_id=9999999.apps.googleusercontent.com&client_secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&refresh_token='.$REFRESH_TOKEN);
    # grant_type=refresh_token
    # client_id=<the client ID token created in the APIs Console>
    # client_secret=<the client secret corresponding to the client ID>
    # refresh_token=<the refresh token from the very first authorization step>
    my $res = $ua->request($req);
    if ($res->is_success()) { # parse JSON
        #print $res->content . "\n";
        # {
          # "access_token" : "ya29.AHES3ZQ_MxxxxTeSl530Na2",
          # "token_type" : "Bearer",
          # "expires_in" : 3600,
        # }
        my $json = decode_json($res->content);
        my $accessToken = $json->{'access_token'};
        saveAccessToken($accessToken);
    } else {
        serverError($ERROR_GOOGLE, 'Could not refresh subscription access token from Google server. '.$res->status_line);
        exit;
    }
}

Problem

When I make the following request, Google only gives error 503, and won't provide any useful information. I'm following the documentation here: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/v1/purchases/get The authorization token is recently refreshed (automatically). (Normally it says 401 when it's stale.) ``` [root@308321 cgi-bin]# wget -dSO- 'https://www.googleapis.com/androidpublisher/v1/applications/com.kizbit.pairfinder/subscriptions/subscription99/purchases/vkorjajxnjfyhxbftpymwfox?access_token=ya29.AHES6ZSnxLdOVf2QWrX96VbpDMdUKlHFXJOFEdHM_f_ErQlL' Setting --server-response (serverresponse) to 1 Setting --output-document (outputdocument) to - DEBUG output created by Wget 1.12 on linux-gnu. --2012-07-05 00:09:46-- https://www.googleapis.com/androidpublisher/v1/applications/com.kizbit.pairfinder/subscriptions/subscription99/purchases/vkorjajxnjfyhxbftpymwfox?access_token=ya29.AHES6ZSnxLdOVf2QWrX96VbpDMdUKlHFXJOFEdHM_f_ErQlL Resolving www.googleapis.com... 2001:4860:b007::5f, 74.125.142.95 Caching www.googleapis.com => 2001:4860:b007::5f 74.125.142.95 Connecting to www.googleapis.com|2001:4860:b007::5f|:443... connected.
