Google Identity Services is migrating to FedCM APIs. Follow the migration guide to review potential changes and avoid negative impacts for user sign-in to your website.

Sign In With Google JavaScript API reference

This reference page describes the Sign-In JavaScript API. You can use this API to display the One Tap prompt or Sign In With Google button on your web pages.

Method: google.accounts.id.initialize

The google.accounts.id.initialize method initializes the Sign In With Google client based on the configuration object. See the following code example of the method:

google.accounts.id.initialize(IdConfiguration)

The following code example implements the google.accounts.id.initialize method with an onload function:

<script>
  window.onload = function () {
    google.accounts.id.initialize({
      client_id: 'YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID',
      callback: handleCredentialResponse
    });
    google.accounts.id.prompt();
  };
</script>

The google.accounts.id.initialize method creates a Sign In With Google client instance that can be implicitly used by all modules in the same web page.

You only need to call the google.accounts.id.initialize method once even if you use multiple modules (like One Tap, Personalized button, revocation, etc.) in the same web page.
If you do call the google.accounts.id.initialize method multiple times, only the configurations in the last call is remembered and used.

You actually reset the configurations whenever you call the google.accounts.id.initialize method, and all subsequent methods in the same web page immediately use the new configurations.

Data type: IdConfiguration

The following table lists the fields and descriptions of the IdConfiguration data type:

Field
`client_id`	Your application's client ID
`auto_select`	Enables automatic selection.
`callback`	The JavaScript function that handles ID tokens. Google One Tap and the Sign In With Google button `popup` UX mode use this attribute.
`login_uri`	The URL of your login endpoint. The Sign In With Google button `redirect` UX mode uses this attribute.
`native_callback`	The JavaScript function that handles password credentials.
`cancel_on_tap_outside`	Cancels the prompt if the user clicks outside the prompt.

client_id

This field is your application's client ID, which is found and created in the Google Cloud console. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Yes	`client_id: "CLIENT_ID.apps.googleusercontent.com"`

auto_select

This field determines if an ID token is automatically returned without any user interaction when there's only one Google session that has approved your app before. The default value is false. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
boolean	Optional	`auto_select: true`

callback

This field is the JavaScript function that handles the ID token returned from the One Tap prompt or the pop-up window. This attribute is required if Google One Tap or the Sign In With Google button popup UX mode is used. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
function	Required for One Tap and the `popup` UX mode	`callback: handleResponse`

login_uri

This attribute is the URI of your login endpoint.

The value must exactly match one of the authorized redirect URIs for the OAuth 2.0 client, which you configured in the Google Cloud console and must conform to our Redirect URI validation rules.

This attribute may be omitted if the current page is your login page, in which case the credential is posted to this page by default.

The ID token credential response is posted to your login endpoint when a user clicks on the Sign In With Google button and redirect UX mode is used.

See the following table for further information:

Type	Optional	Example
URL	Defaults to the URI of the current page, or the value you specify. Only used when `ux_mode: "redirect"` is set.	`login_uri: "https://www.example.com/login"`

Your login endpoint must handle POST requests containing a credential key with an ID token value in the body.

The following is an example request to your login endpoint:

POST /login HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

credential=ID_TOKEN

native_callback

This field is the name of the JavaScript function that handles the password credential returned from the browser's native credential manager. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
function	Optional	`native_callback: handleResponse`

cancel_on_tap_outside

This field sets whether or not to cancel the One Tap request if a user clicks outside the prompt. The default value is true. You can disable it if you set the value to false. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
boolean	Optional	`cancel_on_tap_outside: false`

prompt_parent_id

This attribute sets the DOM ID of the container element. If it's not set, the One Tap prompt is displayed in the top-right corner of the window. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Optional	`prompt_parent_id: 'parent_id'`

nonce

This field is a random string used by the ID token to prevent replay attacks. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Optional	`nonce: "biaqbm70g23"`

Nonce length is limited to the maximum JWT size supported by your environment, and individual browser and server HTTP size constraints.

context

This field changes the text of the title and messages in the One Tap prompt. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Optional	`context: "use"`

The following table lists all the available contexts and their descriptions:

Context
`signin`	"Sign in with Google"
`signup`	"Sign up with Google"
`use`	"Use with Google"

state_cookie_domain

If you need to display One Tap in the parent domain and its subdomains, pass the parent domain to this field so that a single shared-state cookie is used. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Optional	`state_cookie_domain: "example.com"`

ux_mode

Use this field to set the UX flow used by the Sign In With Google button. The default value is popup. This attribute has no impact on the OneTap UX. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Optional	`ux_mode: "redirect"`

The following table lists the available UX modes and their descriptions.

UX Mode
`popup`	Performs sign-in UX flow in a pop-up window.
`redirect`	Performs sign-in UX flow by a full page redirection.

allowed_parent_origin

The origins that are allowed to embed the intermediate iframe. One Tap runs in the intermediate iframe mode if this field is present. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string or string array	Optional	`allowed_parent_origin: "https://example.com"`

The following table lists the supported value types and their descriptions.

Value Types
`string`	A single domain URI.	`"https://example.com"`
`string array`	An array of domain URIs.	`["https://news.example.com", "https://local.example.com"]`

Wildcard prefixes are also supported. For example, "https://*.example.com" matches example.com and its subdomains at all levels (e.g news.example.com, login.news.example.com). Things to keep in mind when using wildcards:

Pattern strings cannot be composed of only a wildcard and a top level domain. For example https://.com and https://.co.uk are invalid; As noted above, "https://.example.com" matches example.com and its subdomains. You can also use an array to represent 2 different domains. For example, ["https://example1.com", "https://.example2.com"] matches the domains example1.com, example2.com and subdomains of example2.com
Wildcard domains must begin with a secure https:// scheme, and so "*.example.com" is considered invalid.

If the value of allowed_parent_origin field is invalid, the One Tap initialization of the intermediate iframe mode would fail and stop.

intermediate_iframe_close_callback

Overrides the default intermediate iframe behavior when users manually close One Tap by tapping on the 'X' button in the One Tap UI. The default behavior is to remove the intermediate iframe from the DOM immediately.

The intermediate_iframe_close_callback field takes effect only in intermediate iframe mode. And it has impact only to the intermediate iframe, instead of the One Tap iframe. The One Tap UI is removed before the callback is invoked.

Type	Required	Example
function	Optional	`intermediate_iframe_close_callback: logBeforeClose`

itp_support

This field determines if the upgraded One Tap UX should be enabled on browsers that support Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP). The default value is false. See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
boolean	Optional	`itp_support: true`

login_hint

If your application knows in advance which user should be signed-in, it can provide a login hint to Google. When successful, account selection is skipped. Accepted values are: an email address or an ID token sub field value.

For more information, see the login_hint field in the OpenID Connect documentation.

Type	Required	Example
String, an email address or the value from an ID token `sub` field.	Optional	`login_hint: 'elisa.beckett@gmail.com'`

hd

When a user has multiple accounts and should only sign-in with their Workspace account use this to provide a domain name hint to Google. When successful, user accounts displayed during account selection are limited to the provided domain. A wildcard value: * offers only Workspace accounts to the user and excludes consumer accounts (user@gmail.com) during account selection.

For more information, see the hd field in the OpenID Connect documentation.

Type	Required	Example
String. A fully qualified domain name or *.	Optional	`hd: '*'`

use_fedcm_for_prompt

Allow the browser to control user sign-in prompts and mediate the sign-in flow between your website and Google. Defaults to false. See Migrate to FedCM page for more information.

Type	Required	Example
boolean	Optional	`use_fedcm_for_prompt: true`

enable_redirect_uri_validation

Enable button redirect flow that complies with Redirect URI validation rules.

Type	Required	Example
boolean	Optional	`enable_redirect_uri_validation: true`

Method: google.accounts.id.prompt

The google.accounts.id.prompt method displays the One Tap prompt or the browser native credential manager after the initialize() method is invoked. See the following code example of the method:

 google.accounts.id.prompt(/**
 @type{(function(!PromptMomentNotification):void)=} */ momentListener)

Normally, the prompt() method is called on page load. Due to the session status and user settings on the Google side, the One Tap prompt UI might not be displayed. To get notified on the UI status for different moments, pass a function to receive UI status notifications.

Notifications are fired on the following moments:

Display moment: This occurs after the prompt() method is called. The notification contains a boolean value to indicate whether the UI is displayed or not.
Skipped moment: This occurs when the One Tap prompt is closed by an auto cancel, a manual cancel, or when Google fails to issue a credential, such as when the selected session has signed out of Google.

In these cases, we recommend that you continue on to the next identity providers, if there are any.
Dismissed moment: This occurs when Google successfully retrieves a credential or a user wants to stop the credential retrieval flow. For example, when the user begins to input their username and password in your login dialog, you can call the google.accounts.id.cancel() method to close the One Tap prompt and trigger a dismissed moment.

Warning: When on a dismissed moment, don't try any of the next identity providers.

The following code example implements the skipped moment:

<script>
  window.onload = function () {
    google.accounts.id.initialize(...);
    google.accounts.id.prompt((notification) => {
      if (notification.isNotDisplayed() || notification.isSkippedMoment()) {
        // continue with another identity provider.
      }
    });
  };
</script>

Data type: PromptMomentNotification

The following table lists methods and descriptions of the PromptMomentNotification data type:

Method
`isDisplayMoment()`	Is this notification for a display moment? Note: When FedCM is enabled, this notification is not fired. See Migrate to FedCM page for more information.
`isDisplayed()`	Is this notification for a display moment, and the UI is displayed? Note: When FedCM is enabled, this notification is not fired. See Migrate to FedCM page for more information.
`isNotDisplayed()`	Is this notification for a display moment, and the UI isn't displayed? Note: When FedCM is enabled, this notification is not fired. See Migrate to FedCM page for more information.
`getNotDisplayedReason()`	The detailed reason why the UI isn't displayed. The following are possible values: `browser_not_supported` `invalid_client` `missing_client_id` `opt_out_or_no_session` `secure_http_required` `suppressed_by_user` `unregistered_origin` `unknown_reason` Note: When FedCM is enabled, this method is not supported. See Migrate to FedCM page for more information.
`isSkippedMoment()`	Is this notification for a skipped moment?
`getSkippedReason()`	The detailed reason for the skipped moment. The following are possible values: `auto_cancel` `user_cancel` `tap_outside` `issuing_failed` Note: When FedCM is enabled, this method is not supported. See Migrate to FedCM page for more information.
`isDismissedMoment()`	Is this notification for a dismissed moment?
`getDismissedReason()`	The detailed reason for the dismissal. The following are possible values: `credential_returned` `cancel_called` `flow_restarted`
`getMomentType()`	Return a string for the moment type. The following are possible values: `display` `skipped` `dismissed`

Data type: CredentialResponse

When your callback function is invoked, a CredentialResponse object is passed as the parameter. The following table lists the fields that are contained in the credential response object:

Field
`credential`	This field is the returned ID token.
`select_by`	This field sets how the credential is selected.
`state`	This field is only defined when user clicks a Sign in with Google button to sign in, and the button's `state` attribute is specified.

credential

This field is the ID token as a base64-encoded JSON Web Token (JWT) string.

When decoded, the JWT looks like the following example:

header
{
  "alg": "RS256",
  "kid": "f05415b13acb9590f70df862765c655f5a7a019e", // JWT signature
  "typ": "JWT"
}
payload
{
  "iss": "https://accounts.google.com", // The JWT's issuer
  "nbf":  161803398874,
  "aud": "314159265-pi.apps.googleusercontent.com", // Your server's client ID
  "sub": "3141592653589793238", // The unique ID of the user's Google Account
  "hd": "gmail.com", // If present, the host domain of the user's GSuite email address
  "email": "elisa.g.beckett@gmail.com", // The user's email address
  "email_verified": true, // true, if Google has verified the email address
  "azp": "314159265-pi.apps.googleusercontent.com",
  "name": "Elisa Beckett",
                            // If present, a URL to user's profile picture
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/e2718281828459045235360uler",
  "given_name": "Elisa",
  "family_name": "Beckett",
  "iat": 1596474000, // Unix timestamp of the assertion's creation time
  "exp": 1596477600, // Unix timestamp of the assertion's expiration time
  "jti": "abc161803398874def"
}

The sub field is a globally unique identifier for the Google Account. Only use sub field as identifier for the user as it is unique among all Google Accounts and never reused. Don't use email address as an identifier because a Google Account can have multiple email addresses at different points in time.

Using the email, email_verified and hd fields you can determine if Google hosts and is authoritative for an email address. In cases where Google is authoritative the user is confirmed to be the legitimate account owner.

Cases where Google is authoritative:

email has a @gmail.com suffix, this is a Gmail Account.
email_verified is true and hd is set, this is a Google Workspace account.

Users may register for Google Accounts without using Gmail or Google Workspace. When email does not contain a @gmail.com suffix and hd is absent Google is not authoritative and password or other challenge methods are recommended to verify the user. email_verfied can also be true as Google initially verified the user when the Google Account was created, however ownership of the third party email account may have since changed.

The exp field shows the expiration time for you to verify the token on your server side. It is one hour for the ID token obtained from Sign In With Google. You need to verify the token before the expiration time. Don't use exp for session management. An expired ID token does not mean the user is signed out. Your app is responsible for session management of your users.

select_by

The following table lists the possible values for the select_by field. The type of button used along with the session and consent state are used to set the value,

The user pressed either the One Tap or Sign In With Google button or used the touchless Automatic sign-in process.
An existing session was found, or the user selected and signed-in to a Google Account to establish a new session.
Prior to sharing ID token credentials with your app the user either

state

This field is only defined when user clicks a Sign in with Google button to sign in, and the clicked button's state attribute is specified. The value of this field is the same value you specified in the button's state attribute.

As multiple Sign in with Google buttons can be rendered on the same page, you can assign each button with a unique string. Hence, you can this state field to identify which button user clicked to sign in.

Method: google.accounts.id.renderButton

The google.accounts.id.renderButton method renders a Sign In With Google button in your web pages.

See the following code example of the method:

If it's not set, the browser's default locale or the Google session user's preference is used. Therefore, different users might see different versions of localized buttons, and possibly with different sizes.

See the following table for further information:

Type	Required	Example
string	Optional	`locale: "zh_CN"`

click_listener

You can define a JavaScript function to be called when the Sign in with Google button is clicked using the click_listener attribute.

string	Optional	`data-state: "button 1"`

Data type: Credential

When your native_callback function is invoked, a Credential object is passed as the parameter. The following table lists the fields contained in the object:

Field
`id`	Identifies the user.
`password`	The password

Method: google.accounts.id.disableAutoSelect

When the user signs out of your website, you need to call the method google.accounts.id.disableAutoSelect to record the status in cookies. This prevents a UX dead loop. See the following code snippet of the method:

google.accounts.id.disableAutoSelect()

The following code example implements the google.accounts.id.disableAutoSelect method with an onSignout() function:

<script>
  function onSignout() {
    google.accounts.id.disableAutoSelect();
  }
</script>

Method: google.accounts.id.storeCredential

This method is a wrapper for the store() method of the browser's native credential manager API. Therefore, it can only be used to store a password credential. See the following code example of the method:

google.accounts.id.storeCredential(Credential, callback)

The following code example implements the google.accounts.id.storeCredential method with an onSignIn() function:

<script>
  function onSignIn() {
    let cred = {id: '...', password: '...'};
    google.accounts.id.storeCredential(cred);
  }
</script>

Method: google.accounts.id.cancel

You can cancel the One Tap flow if you remove the prompt from the relying party DOM. The cancel operation is ignored if a credential is already selected. See the following code example of the method:

google.accounts.id.cancel()

The following code example implements the google.accounts.id.cancel() method with an onNextButtonClicked() function:

<script>
  function onNextButtonClicked() {
    google.accounts.id.cancel();
    showPasswordPage();
  }
</script>

Library load callback: onGoogleLibraryLoad

You can register an onGoogleLibraryLoad callback. It's notified after the Sign In With Google JavaScript library is loaded:

window.onGoogleLibraryLoad = () => {
    ...
};

This callback is just a shortcut for the window.onload callback. There are no differences in behavior.

The following code example implements an onGoogleLibraryLoad callback:

<script>
  window.onGoogleLibraryLoad = () => {
   google.accounts.id.initialize({
     ...
   });
   google.accounts.id.prompt();
  };
</script>

Method: google.accounts.id.revoke

The google.accounts.id.revoke method revokes the OAuth grant used to share the ID token for the specified user. See the following code snippet of the method: javascript google.accounts.id.revoke(login_hint, callback)

Parameter	Type	Description
`login_hint`	string	The email address or unique ID of the user's Google Account. The ID is the `sub` property of the credential payload.
`callback`	function	Optional RevocationResponse handler.

The following code sample shows how use the revoke method with an ID.

  google.accounts.id.revoke('1618033988749895', done => {
    console.log(done.error);
  });

Data type: RevocationResponse

When your callback function is invoked, a RevocationResponse object is passed as the parameter. The following table lists the fields that are contained in the revocation response object:

Field
`successful`	This field is the return value of the method call.
`error`	This field optionally contains a detailed error response message.

successful

This field is a boolean value set to true if the revoke method call succeeded or false on failure.

error

This field is a string value and contains a detailed error message if the revoke method call failed, it is undefined on success.
