The two scopes which can be used to return a user info object are listed under the Google OAuth2 API v2:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile You can use either or both depending on what additional user information you want. The API call is a GET request to either of these request URIs: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo https://www.googleapis.com/userinfo/v2/me The response object looks like the following: { "family_name": "Last name", "name": "Display name", "picture": "https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/abc123/photo.jpg";, "locale": "en", "email": "[email protected]", "given_name": "First name", "id": "11223344556677889900", "hd": "google.com", "verified_email": true } The OAuth2 flow for a script that doesn't have a web server to handle a callback is done by manually inputting the authorization code in the terminal after the browser flow completes. An example <https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/auth/installed-app#example> is given in the documentation for the Google API Python Client Library <https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/>.
