Accessing a users google drive

I have a django site that uses Django allauth for users to log in using their google account and grant permission to their google drive. Once logged in, django-allauth saves a token for that user. This part all works correctly.

How do I now access the user's google drive (who has granted permission), to list the available files? Presumably this needs to use the token that was saved thanks to django-allauth.

I have installed the python google api client but am struggling to figure out how to use the user's token to list the content of their google drive.

There is a flask example here which im trying to modify for use in a django project utilizing django-allauth. The sign in flow works correctly, but django-allauth does not ensure that google drive access is requested. I've tried updating my settings as per this:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    "google": {
        "SCOPE": [
            "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly",
            "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile",
        ],
        "AUTH_PARAMS": {"access_type": "offline"},
    }
}

For anyone reading this now, the current release of allauth does support API auth.

You need to provide the complete URL (e.g. https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive) instead of just the scope name (e.g. email) in the SCOPE list for scopes that aren't in the default list within allauth.

There haven't been any answers posted so im just posting what I ended doing. It doesn't look like django-allauth can be used both for regular google authentication and api auth.

So for the time being a user first has to sign in to the site using their google account which is handled by django-allauth. Then once they're logged in they can select to grant access to their google drive which then kicks off a new auth flow for that (using the Google python api client)
