• PHP: Installation Guide
• Composer: Getting Started Guide

Cloning the Repository

Clone the repository to your machine or server:

git clone https://github.com/ricardomrcruz/PHP_Google_API_Client.git
cd PHP_Google_API_Client

Installing Dependencies

After cloning, install PHP dependencies with:

composer require google/apiclient:^2.0

For specific dependency versions, use the project's composer.lock:

composer install

To update dependencies:

composer update

Note: Commit your composer.lock to version control to synchronize dependency versions across environments.

Configuring Google Client

Set up your Google Client:

1. Visit the Google Developers Console.
2. Create or select a project.
3. Under "Credentials", create your project's credentials (e.g., OAuth 2.0 Client IDs).
4. Enable necessary APIs via the "Library" page. Specifically, add the Google Search Console API.
5. Configure your OAuth 2.0 Client ID credentials with appropriate domains and redirect URLs.
6. Download the client ID JSON file and upload it to your project folder.
7. Delete the refresh access token that comes with the repository. Enter your query URL. Confirm your Google identity and watch your new refresh token get added to the project automatically.

These additional steps ensure that your Google Client is fully configured and ready to use within your project. They also guide you through the process of handling authentication and obtaining the necessary credentials for accessing Google APIs.

API Scopes

Include the correct scopes in your authentication flow as per the Google Identity Platform documentation.
