You cannot, user has to login, what will return CODE. This CODE you can exchange for access token. https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#httprest

Generally: a code will start authentication on client (browser), this will open classic Google authentication and authorization. It`s result is CODE, that you send to backend and exchange with Google for the access token.
