How to retrieve date of birth from google people api for mvc application

I'm trying to retrieve date of birth from google account after user sign in with google but i'm unable to get dateofbirth. I'm using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Google Nuget Package to authenticate google user

Here is my code

 // Startup file to authenticate user
 services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddCookie()
.AddGoogle(options =>
{
    options.ClientId = _configuration["GoogleLogin:ClientId"];
    options.ClientSecret = _configuration["GoogleLogin:ClientSecret"];
    options.AccessDeniedPath = "/login";
    options.Scope.Add("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login");
    options.Scope.Add("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email");
    options.Scope.Add("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile");
    options.Scope.Add("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.birthday.read");
});

// Here is my controller
var externalLoginInfo = await HttpContext.AuthenticateAsync(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

this doesn't get any dob only name identifier, Display name, name, surname and email but birthday.

You need to use People API to get the user's birthday. See https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people/get. That also means you need to enable People API in your GCP Console. You would need an access token to all the People API to gain this information after user consents to it.
