OAuth 2.0 is used to access Google APIs. It supports server-to-server interactions
such as those between a web or native application and a Google service. For this
scenario, you need a service account, which is an account that belongs to your
application instead of to an individual end user. Your application calls Google
APIs on behalf of the service account, so users aren't directly involved.
To begin, you must obtain OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Google API Console.
Your application requests an access token from the Google Authorization Server,
extracts a token from the response, and sends the token to the Google API that
you want to access.
