Google API

Available since 1.1.0

The Google identity provider type will use the Google OAuth v2.0 login API. It will also provide a Login with Google button on FusionAuth's login page that will direct a user to the Google login page.

This identity provider will call Google's API to load the user's email and preferred_username and use those as email and username to lookup or create a user in FusionAuth depending on the linking strategy configured for this identity provider. Additional claims returned by Google can be used to reconcile the user to FusionAuth by using a Google Reconcile Lambda.

FusionAuth will also store the Google id_token returned from the Google API in the identityProviderLink object, in the identityProviderLink.token field. This object is accessible using the Link API.

The identityProviderLink object stores the token so that you can use it in your application to call Google APIs on behalf of the user if desired.

If you need the refresh token to obtain new access tokens, the typed Google IdP will not meet your needs, since it stores the id_token on the Link. However, Google supports OIDC, which in turn allows for refresh tokens. Therefore, please use an OpenID Connect Identity Provider.

note

Prior to version 1.28.0, the token was stored in the UserRegistration object, in the tokens Map.

Please note if an idp_hint is appended to the OAuth Authorize endpoint, then the login method interaction will be redirect, even if popup interaction is explicitly configured.

Update Google Identity Provider#

This API is used to update an existing Google Identity Provider.

You must specify all of the properties of the Google Identity Provider when calling this API with the PUT HTTP method. When used with PUT, this API doesn't merge the existing Google Identity Provider and your new data. It replaces the existing Google Identity Provider with your new data.

Utilize the PATCH HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing Google Identity Provider.

note

For backward compatibility, the PATCH method accepts the same media type (specified by a Content-Type of application/json) and body as the PUT request. You can also use the following media types for different behavior:

For details, see the PATCH documentation.

Using a media type of application/json merges the provided request parameters into the existing object. As a result, all parameters are optional with PATCH: only provide the values you want to change. To remove a value, provide a null value. Patching an Array appends all values in the new list to the old list.

CodeDescription
200The request was successful.
400The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain an Errors JSON Object with the specific errors. This status will also be returned if a paid FusionAuth license is required and is not present.

404The object you requested doesn't exist. The response will be empty.
500There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty.

Complete the Google Login#

This API allows you to complete a Google login after authenticating a user using the Google API. If you are using the FusionAuth login UI with the Google button you will not utilize this API directly.

This API is intended to be used if you want to build your own login page and you have added the Google login button to your own login page and you then need to complete the login with FusionAuth.

For example, if you built your own login page, you could add a "Login with Google" button and complete the Google authentication. When you complete the Google authentication you will have been returned a token or code from Google. Using this API you can pass that token or code to FusionAuth and we will complete the login workflow and reconcile the user to FusionAuth.

The user does not need to exist yet in FusionAuth to utilize this API, depending on the configured linking strategy. The token or code returned from Google will be used to retrieve the user's email address or username and if that user does not yet exist in FusionAuth the user may be created.

If createRegistration has been enabled for this identity provider and the user does not yet have a registration for this application, a registration will be automatically created for the user. The user will be assigned any default roles configured for the application.

If createRegistration has not been enabled, a registration will not be created if one does not yet exist. This is useful if you wish to manually provision users and then subsequently allow them to login with Google.

Request Headers#

X-Forwarded-For String optional

The IP address of a client requesting authentication. If the IP address is provided it will be stored in the user's login record. It is generally preferred to specify the IP address in the request body. If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available. However, the request body value takes precedence.

X-FusionAuth-TenantId String optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

applicationId UUID required

The Id of the Application the user is to be logged into. This application must have Google login enabled for this request to succeed.

data.code String optional Available since 1.28.0

When using the authorization code grant, will have returned an authorization code. To complete the login request, provide the code and the redirect_uri parameters to allow FusionAuth to complete this grant by exchanging the authorization code for an access_token.

When using code you must also supply redirect_uri. If code is not provided, then token will be required.

data.redirect_uri String optional Available since 1.28.0

The redirect URI that was provided to the authorization endpoint. This value will be sent to the Token Info API as the redirect_uri parameter.

When using code this field is required.

data.token String optional

When using a popup or other login mode where has already returned you through a JavaScript callback or other mechanism, you will send this value in the token parameter. FusionAuth will use this value to request user details and then complete the login.

When using token you do not have to supply redirect_uri. If token is not provided, then code will be required.

identityProviderId UUID required

The unique Id of the identity provider to process this login request.

connectionTestId String optional Available since 1.65.0

The Id of an identity provider connection test returned by the Start an Identity Provider Connection Test API.

ipAddress String optional

The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history.

metaData.device.description String optional

A human readable description of the device represented by the device parameter.

metaData.device.lastAccessedAddress String optional

The IP address of this login request.

metaData.device.name String optional

A human readable name of the device represented by the device parameter.

metaData.device.type String optional

The type of device represented by the device parameter. Prior to version 1.46.0, this value was restricted to the following types:

  • BROWSER
  • DESKTOP
  • LAPTOP
  • MOBILE
  • OTHER
  • SERVER
  • TABLET
  • TV
  • UNKNOWN
In version 1.46.0 and beyond, this value can be any string value you'd like, have fun with it!

newDevice Boolean optional Defaults to false

Indicates that this device has never been used by this user to log in before. One of many signals used to decide whether to issue an MFA challenge as part of Intelligent MFA or the MFA Requirement Lambda. When true, triggers the New Device Webhook.

noJWT Boolean optional Defaults to false

When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token field, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response. This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being used, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.

noLink Boolean optional Defaults to false Available since 1.29.0

When this value is set to true, if a link does not yet exist to a FusionAuth user, a 404 status code will be returned instead of using the requested linking strategy. This may be useful if you want to identify if a link exists before starting a full interactive workflow with the user to complete a link.
