Ok I got it. The answer can be found here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2WebServer#offline

First You have to make an Auth request

Then you will get a 'code' to your return_url

Then you need to exchange the code to access_token and refresh_token

As a result of this you will bet response like:

{
  "access_token" : "[HERE YOU ACCESS TOKEN]",
  "token_type" : "Bearer",
  "expires_in" : 3600,
  "id_token" : "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImRiMjBlNWMwZGU1YWI0MGRjNTU5ODBkM2EzYmZlNDdlOGM2NGM5YjAifQ.eyJpc3MiOiJhY2NvdW50cy5nb29nbGUuY29tIiwiY2lkIjoiMjQ2ODg5NjU3NDg2LmFwcHMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tIiwiYXVkIjoiMjQ2ODg5NjU3NDg2LmFwcHMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tIiwidG9rZW5faGFzaCI6IjRURGtlQ0MzVWRPZHoyd2k1N2RnaUEiLCJpZCI6IjExNTI0MDk1NDM0Njg1NTU4NjE2MSIsImlhdCI6MTM1MzQwNDQ3MCwiZXhwIjoxMzUzNDA4MzcwfQ.Va98sh9LvMEIWxpRMFkcuFqtDAUfJLN5M__oJyjvmIxQR9q2NUIoocyjqbNyXc7as_ePQYiUjajx0SCumtR4Zhv-exeJfrKA_uMmJTe7jWhK6K2R3JQ2-aIZNnehpEuhYZBXgLhzYz1mlFrLqQTdV6LjDhRPDH-ol4UKWXfbAVE",
  "refresh_token" : "[HERE YOUR REFRESH TOKEN]"
}

Now you can store these tokens in your application and use for unlimited time refreshing the access_token every 3600 secs

And each time you make this request you will get a new access_token

{
  "access_token" : "[NEW ACCESS TOKEN]",
  "token_type" : "Bearer",
  "expires_in" : 3600,
  "id_token" : "eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImRiMjBlNWMwZGU1YWI0MGRjNTU5ODBkM2EzYmZlNDdlOGM2NGM5YjAifQ.eyJpc3MiOiJhY2NvdW50cy5nb29nbGUuY29tIiwiYXVkIjoiMjQ2ODg5NjU3NDg2LmFwcHMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tIiwidG9rZW5faGFzaCI6ImpyYk5oNkRHZFN4Y0w5MUI5Q1hab2ciLCJpZCI6IjExNTI0MDk1NDM0Njg1NTU4NjE2MSIsImNpZCI6IjI0Njg4OTY1NzQ4Ni5hcHBzLmdvb2dsZXVzZXJjb250ZW50LmNvbSIsImlhdCI6MTM1MzQwNTU5OSwiZXhwIjoxMzUzNDA5NDk5fQ.mGN3EYOX75gPubr3TqWIOBkfq-o3JBXMXx4MbxEBGMSuPdJi7VTqZa4isyR-st-J5_wTtA-j8tVQYnDeZDxj5KpJ14FFQPKTtv_VI5kvuT55KyOmGu4yidciYoffJMISisr8NqiksbemaiYX900sRv6PmoTA6Nf6VtHgj3BZjWo"
