Google OAuth Login

Initiates the Google OAuth 2.0 authentication flow. This endpoint redirects the user to Google’s authentication page where they can sign in with their Google account.

​
Description

When accessed, this endpoint redirects to /oauth2/authorization/google, which triggers the OAuth 2.0 flow with Google. After successful authentication, the user will be redirected back to your application with authentication credentials.

​
Request

No request parameters are required. Simply direct the user to this endpoint or redirect them programmatically.

​
Response

This endpoint performs an HTTP 302 redirect to /oauth2/authorization/google, which then redirects to Google’s OAuth consent screen.

​
Example Usage

​
Direct Browser Access

Simply navigate to: 
https://api.dailytracker.com/auth/google

​
Programmatic Redirect

// JavaScript redirect
window.location.href = 'https://api.dailytracker.com/auth/google';

<!-- HTML link -->
<a href="https://api.dailytracker.com/auth/google">
  Sign in with Google
</a>

​
cURL Example

curl -L https://api.dailytracker.com/auth/google
Note: The -L flag tells cURL to follow redirects.

​
OAuth Flow

  1. User accesses /auth/google
  2. Server redirects to /oauth2/authorization/google
  3. OAuth2 client redirects to Google’s authentication page
  4. User authenticates with Google
  5. Google redirects back to the configured callback URL with an authorization code
  6. Application exchanges the code for access tokens and creates/updates the user session

​
Implementation Notes

  • This endpoint is typically used in web applications where the user’s browser can be redirected
  • For mobile applications, consider using Google’s native SDKs instead of web-based OAuth
  • Ensure your OAuth 2.0 client is properly configured with Google Cloud Console
  • Configure appropriate redirect URIs in your Google Cloud Console OAuth settings
