Gmail API and Oath 2 - How to access using LiveCode ?

[Roland Huettmann]

Thanks for comments. )))

I am stuck nevertheless for the moment. I can fiddle around with JSON a
bit, but it seems a library must be developed (TLS, ...), and I do not have
the deep enough knowledge to apply those functions and settings i see in C#
or PHP or Python to LC in such way that it could work. Or I go through a
sophisticated learning curve for a longer time - a commodity being very
rare.

I do not know if it would make sense for other users to follow the
discussion in more depth.

If yes, let us go step by step as it might apply to many solutions. It is
finding the key to a lock. And it applies to desktop and mobile.

Alternatively i would give the work  to someone experienced.

If of interest, I share what I understood so far. Rather limited (((. But I
believe suggestions may come which could help everyone.

What do you think?
