This bundle only works with Laravel 3. If you need to install the google api php client library for laravel versions > 3, use composer to install https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client instead (see how here: Issue #4).
This bundle is based on the Google API PHP Client hosted at http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/
The Google API Client Library enables you to work with Google APIs such as Analytics, Adsense, Google+, Calendar, Moderator, Tasks, or Latitude on your server, in the language of your choice ( as long as it's PHP :P ).
php artisan bundle:install google-api-php-client
Add the following to your application/bundles.php file:
'google-api-php-client' => array(
'handles' => 'google-api',
'location' => 'google-api-php-client',
'auto' => true
),
Edit the following in your bundles/google-api-php-client/config/google.php file:
// Visit https://code.google.com/apis/console to generate your
// client id, client secret, and to register your redirect uri.
return array(
'application_name' => 'YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME', 'client_id' => 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
'client_secret' => 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
'redirect_uri' => 'YOUR_REDIRECT_URI',
// under Simple API access, create a browser key, and copy/paste: API key
'developer_key' => 'YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY',
// e.g. for Google Books API
'set_scopes' => array('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/books'), 'access_type' => 'online',
// Returns objects the Google API Service instead of associative arrays
'use_objects' => true,
// auto (default) or force. Indicates if the user should be re-prompted for consent.
'approval_prompt' => 'auto' );
(1) Add the following to your application/routes.php file:
Route::get('/', function()
{
$google = IoC::resolve('google-api-php-client');
// after redirect, if auth code is set, authenticate user
if ( Input::has('code') ) {
$google->authenticate();
Session::put('token', $google->getAccessToken());
return Redirect::to('/')->with('status','You are now successfully authenticated!');
}
// if user is authenticated, do something with a Google API service
if ( Session::has('token') ) {
$google->setAccessToken(Session::get('token'));
$service = new Google_BooksService($google);
$optParams = array('filter' => 'free-ebooks');
$results = $service->volumes->listVolumes('Henry David Thoreau', $optParams);
return View::make('index')->with('results', $results);
}
// if user is authorized, but token is not set
if ( $google->getAccessToken() ) { Session::put('token', $google->getAccessToken());
return View::make('index');
}
// if token is not set, print Google API Auth link
else {
return View::make('index')->with('google_auth_url', $google->createAuthUrl());
}
});
Route::get('gapi/logout', function()
{
if ( Session::has('token') )
{
Session::forget('token');
return Redirect::to('/')->with('status','Successfully logged out!');
}
});
(2) Add the following to your application/views/index.php:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">

<body>
<?php if ( Session::has('status') ): ?>
<p><?php echo Session::get('status'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( isset($google_auth_url) ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo $google_auth_url; ?>">Connect with Google</a>
<?php else : ?>
<a href="<?php echo URL::to('gapi/logout'); ?>">Logout</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (isset($results)) : ?>
