Retrieving google contacts using oauth 2.0

I have been wrestling here to get the google contacts, I get the user personal information, but unable to get the user's contacts. getting following error: 401 (Authorization required)

https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/[email protected]/full?oauthtoken=[object%20Object]&callback=jQuery162xxxxxxxxxx_13xxxxxxxxxx2&_=13xxxxxx.

$.ajax({
                    url: "https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full",
                    dataType: "jsonp",
                    headers: "GData-Version: 3.0",
                    data:{accessToken: authResult },
                    success: function (data) {
                        console.log("json"+JSON.stringify(data));

I answered this :

// OAuth configurations   
    var config = {
      'client_id': 'xxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com',
      'scope': 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full'          
    };

gapi.auth.authorize(config, function(data) {
      // login complete - now get token
      var token = gapi.auth.getToken();
      token.alt = 'json';
      // retrieve contacts
      jQuery.ajax({
        url: 'https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full/?max-results=999999',
        dataType: 'jsonp',
        data: token,
        success: function(data) { successGmail(data); }
      });
    });

You can try to write your token in your header as "Authorization: Bearer " + authResult so I thing your code should be the following for this example:

$.ajax({
       url: "https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full",
       type: "GET",
       dataType: "jsonp",
       headers: {
                   "Authorization": "Bearer " + authResult,
                   "GData-Version": "3.0"
                },
       success: function (data) {
            console.log("json"+JSON.stringify(data));
       }
});

JQuery Docs says the following about ajax headers parameter:

A map of additional header key/value pairs to send along with the request[...]

So that's why I've changed your original string to a map. Type is by default GET so it's optional.

Hope this helps

In your first code block (with the URL), you specify the query parameter name oauthtoken. In the second code block, you specify a parameter value of accessToken.

This parameter value should actually be access_token. See here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2UserAgent#callinganapi
