Yea I used the token method, saves you having to log in every time. You will need Node.js enabled and you can download and require the google-api module with
They have tuts for it up on the Google site, but here's my code for reference if you want:
/**
* the @ gdrive module allows uploading to Google Drive once authenticated
* A configuration and token file is required.
* @param {Int} number number of entries to return.
*/
var gdrive = {};
gdrive.SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file'];
gdrive.TOKEN_PATH = 'token.json';
gdrive.AUTH = {};
gdrive.instance;
gdrive.build = function(token){
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
// Load client secrets from a local file.
fs.readFile(path.join(__dirname, 'credentials.json'), (err, content) => {
if (err) return console.log('Error loading client secret file:', err);
// Authorize a client with credentials, then call the Google Drive API.
gdrive.authorize(JSON.parse(content), token, gdrive.create);
setTimeout(function(){resolve(true);}, 1000);
});
});
};
/**
* Create an OAuth2 client with the given credentials, and then execute the
* given callback function.
* @param {Object} credentials The authorization client credentials.
* @param {function} callback The callback to call with the authorized client.
*/
gdrive.authorize = function(credentials, token, callback) {
const {client_secret, client_id, redirect_uris} = credentials.installed;
gdrive.oAuth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2(
client_id, client_secret, redirect_uris[0]);
gdrive.oAuth2Client.setCredentials(token);
callback(gdrive.oAuth2Client);
};
/**
* Get and store new token after prompting for user authorization, and then
* execute the given callback with the authorized OAuth2 client.
* @param {google.auth.OAuth2} oAuth2Client The OAuth2 client to get token for.
* @param {getEventsCallback} callback The callback for the authorized client.
*/
gdrive.getAccessToken = function(oAuth2Client, callback) {
const authUrl = oAuth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
access_type: 'offline',
scope: gdrive.SCOPES,
});
console.log('Authorize this app by visiting this url:', authUrl);
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout,

// rl.question('Enter the code from that page here: ', (code) => {
prompt({

label: 'Enter the code from that page here:',

var code = value;
rl.close();
oAuth2Client.getToken(code, (err, token) => {

});
callback(oAuth2Client);
});
}
}).catch(console.error);
// });
};

gdrive.create = function(auth){
gdrive.instance = google.drive({version: 'v3', auth});
