CLI application using Google APIs

I want to create an application that will download all my photos in Google Photos. I thought it should be easy with the API available.



This should be an CLI application that will run periodically from cron.
But when I looked at the Google Photos API, they use OAuth2.
The sample shows the usage of FixedCredentials:



PhotosLibrarySettings settings =

     PhotosLibrarySettings.newBuilder()

    .setCredentialsProvider(

        FixedCredentialsProvider.create(/* Add credentials here. */)) 

    .build();


The problem is the part where the /* Add credentials here. */ is. How can I provide my user credentials there? There are numerous classes that implement Credentials but none of them look like ones that would allow me to automate retrieval in a CLI application.



The only thing I get from Google is the client_id and client_token for my app, but how to turn that into an access/refresh token so I can use it without my interaction?



I really hope I don't need to launch a web browser to download my photos.

The Google Photos Library API only accepts OAuth User Credentials. This means that users are required to complete the Google OAuth Flow, which means browser based Authorization.




Note: The Library API does not support service accounts. Your
application must use the other OAuth 2.0 flows available such as OAuth
2.0 for web server applications or OAuth 2.0 for mobile and desktop apps.



Your application must use OAuth 2.0 to authorize requests. No other
authorization protocols are supported. If your application uses Google
Sign-In, some aspects of authorization are handled for you.

            Monofisismo

            Image
            Monofisismo (do grego: monos - "único, singular" e physis - "natureza") é o ponto de vista cristológico que defende que, depois da união do divino e do humano na encarnação histórica, Jesus Cristo, como encarnação do Filho ou Verbo ( Logos ) de Deus, teria apenas uma única "natureza", a divina, e não uma síntese de ambas. O monofisismo é contraposto pelo diofisismo (ou "diafisismo"), que defende que Jesus preservou em si as duas naturezas. Historicamente, o monofisismo se refere primordialmente à posição dos que (especialmente no Egito e, em menor grau, na Síria) rejeitaram as decisões do Concílio de Calcedônia em 451 (o quarto concílio ecumênico). Os membros mais moderados entre eles, porém, defendem a teologia "miafisita", que se tornou a oficial para as Igrejas Ortodoxas Orientais. Muitos ortodoxos orientais, porém, rejeitam essa classificação, mesmo como um termo genérico, mas ele é amplamente utilizado na literatura históri...

            compose and upload a new article using a custom form

            Image
            -5 1 I'm starting to learn about php trying to achieve the goal of make my first custom form. From what I understand, it's possible to collect data from a form you can compose and customize to get information like title, subtitle, uploaded images and of course the main text of a supposed post and collect them in an html file that the form itself plus a php file can store in a folder on my server. what i would like to understand better is if i can compose the form making it be able to include the collected information between pieces of code i don't wanna write anytime in the fields of the form. i also need to understand how to make it be able to save the final html file with a different suffix like an increasing number at the end of the name to be sure no older file created this way is going to be lost...
