GAE redirect the user to oauth2 without loosing the information from the initial request?

I'm using GAE with python. I'm working on an application that opens specific files from drive.

When you try to open a file from drive with your application, you are redirected to a url like this one :

http://my-app.appspot.com/state=%7B%22ids%22:%5B%220B1AXKdjZqM9FZDNIZEhMZEh0YzA%22%5D,%22action%22:%22open%22,%22userId%22:%22102709420614967238115%22%7D

In my program, I need to check if the application is authorized by the user; and to do so, I need it to be redirected to the oauth2 util it's authorized and then come back to the previous url.. or at least I need to efficiently save the information:

state=%7B%22ids%22:%5B%220B1AXKdjZqM9FZDNIZEhMZEh0YzA%22%5D,%22action%22:%22open%22,%22userId%22:%22102709420614967238115%22%7D

How can I redirect the user without loosing the information from the initial request ?

You can use state parameter

state

Any string Provides any state that might be useful to your application upon receipt of the response. The Google Authorization Server roundtrips this parameter, so your application receives the same value it sent. Possible uses include redirecting the user to the correct resource in your site, nonces, and cross-site-request-forgery mitigations.
