Question

The question: How to use people.get with the “me” parameter?

I know how to get the json object when using https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/{id}?key={key}

but what parameters should I include when Im using “me” as id?

(I use response_type=code in the auth)

Edit: (fixed)

I am using ASP.NET, and I found this link, but the POST request for the access token json throws an error. Sending the request works but, but when I use GetResponse(), I get error(400). And also Im not sure if the uri that I use is correct: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token

Edit 2:

Problem solved. The request was bad because I used UTF32Encoding instead of UTF8Encoding when converting the parameter string to byte[] before writing to Stream. With UTF8Encoding works good. 🙂

Code that I wrote after this question:

HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
webRequest.Method = "POST";
UTF8Encoding utfenc = new UTF8Encoding();
byte[] bytes = utfenc.GetBytes(parameters);
Stream os = null;
try // send the post
{
    webRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length; // Count bytes to send
    os = webRequest.GetRequestStream();
    os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);        // Send it
}

// error handling...
try // get the response
{
    HttpWebResponse webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
    if (webResponse == null)
    { return null; }
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
    return sr.ReadToEnd().Trim();
}
// error handling...

he called this with the parameters from here, and the returned string(json) contains my access_token.

Answer 1

I sent a POST request (info here) to get the Oauth2 access_token and used:

https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me?key={key}&access_token={token}
