I am following this package: https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-php. Here they said that I need to run this page:

https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-php/blob/main/examples/Authentication/GenerateUserCredentials.php

to terminal.

and I did it like:

php /locaation of the fie/GenerateUserCredentials.php

After that I can get a link which is something like that:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=code&access_type=offline&client_id=535777736006-d1rp8msevnls2pmihk7b8l23j3vra7duh.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fauth%2Fcallback&state=4e23ce963534701029c1a22d2de7848d034d8b0b0&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fadwords

(Above link is demo purpose)

So, When I click on this link I redirect to my google account and give access to them and after that I redirect back to this following URL:

http://localhost:3000/auth/callback?state=fddbaae6583b15aba552f682fe9f018233388533555f&code=4%2F0AfgeXvs4NV49mrqEBrl81ATRnXhqcu9x9ja8SAbaENSWhmNejGRGkZJE_AcD1aAFWdrlGg&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fadwords

Here you can see I have 2 params which is state and code.

Now my question is how can I get the access token and refresh token using this URL?

    Here you can see I have 2 params which is state and code.

    Now you can use them to get tokens. Here is an example from the google-ads-php source code (open the link for the full example/code):

    // Exit if the state is invalid to prevent request forgery. $state = $request->getQueryParams()['state']; if (empty($state) || ($state !== $oauth2->getState())) { throw new UnexpectedValueException( "The state is empty or doesn't match expected one." . PHP_EOL ); }; // Set the authorization code and fetch refresh and access tokens. $code = $request->getQueryParams()['code']; $oauth2->setCode($code); $authToken = $oauth2->fetchAuthToken(); $refreshToken = $authToken['refresh_token']; print 'Your refresh token is: ' . $refreshToken . PHP_EOL;

      $request variable is come from this line function (ServerRequestInterface $request) use ($oauth2, &$authToken) { so?

      GenerateUserCredentials.php is a full PHP page, they have everything there. They're executing GenerateUserCredentials::main();, which uses React\Http\HttpServer, which provides them with the $request variable. They create a new HttpServer like this $server = new HttpServer(... and then call $server->listen($socket);. This $server takes care of the $request variable. If you're using a regular web server (Apache or Nginx), you can use standard global PHP variables like $_GET['code'] instead of $request->getQueryParams()['code']

      If you're executing GenerateUserCredentials.php as it is, you should see tokens in your console (where you run GenerateUserCredentials.php). github.com/googleads/google-ads-php/blob/…
