OAuth2, v3 (userinfo)

[vaskevich]

With the recent Google+ deprecation, the new approach to getting user info (for instance, as done in jaredhanson/passport-google-oauth2#51) seems to be to use the https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo endpoint. While v2 also works for now, but it'd be great to have support for this endpoint here (including TS definitions) and in https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/.

See also #490, which was created 3 years ago back when (I'm guessing) that API weren't released.

why exactly the https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo ?
It looks like the userinfo_endpoint from the https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration is https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo
I checked and both endpoint are working and returns the same but the https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo is advised in the discovery

some details https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OpenIDConnect#validatinganidtoken

Google People API looks suitable to resolve this issue

{scope: ['email', 'profile']}

google.people({version: 'v1', auth}).people.get({resourceName: 'people/me', 
personFields: 'emailAddresses'}))

@stokito I am getting ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error when using the https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo as the userinfo_endpoint, but this endpoint: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo works fine. I don't know why!!

Seems like there's a solution, feel free to reopen if needed!

Is there any way we can get UserInfo using access_token provide by google in this google-api-nodejs-client ?
