问题

Getting a user profile info through curl

curl -i https://www.googleapis.com/userinfo/v2/me -H "Authorization: Bearer a-google-account-access-token"

Getting a user profile info through node https get request

const https = require('https');

function getUserData(accessToken) {
    var options = {        
                    hostname: 'www.googleapis.com',
                    port: 443,
                    path: '/userinfo/v2/me',
                    method: 'GET',
                    json: true,
                    headers:{
                        Authorization: 'Bearer ' + accessToken            
                   }
            };
    console.log(options);
    var getReq = https.request(options, function(res) {
        console.log("\nstatus code: ", res.statusCode);
        res.on('data', function(response) {
            try {
                var resObj = JSON.parse(response);
                console.log("response: ", resObj);
            } catch (err) {
                console.log(err);
            }
        });
    });

    getReq.end();
    getReq.on('error', function(err) {
        console.log(err);
    }); 

}

var token = "a-google-account-access-token";
getUserData(token)

How can I use this google node api client library to get the user profile info provided that I already have the access token? I can use the code above to get the profile but I thought it's probably better off to use the google api library to do it, but I can't figure out how to do that using this node google api client library.

A temporary access token can be acquired through playing this playground

You can retrieve the user profile using the google node API client library. In this case, please retrieve the access token and refresh token as the scope of https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile. The sample script is as follows. When you use this sample, please set your ACCESS TOKEN.

Sample script :

var google = require('googleapis').google;
var OAuth2 = google.auth.OAuth2;
var oauth2Client = new OAuth2();
oauth2Client.setCredentials({access_token: 'ACCESS TOKEN HERE'});
var oauth2 = google.oauth2({
  auth: oauth2Client,
  version: 'v2'
});
oauth2.userinfo.get(
  function(err, res) {
    if (err) {
       console.log(err);
    } else {
       console.log(res);
    }
});

Result :

{
  id: '#####',
  name: '#####',
  given_name: '#####',
  family_name: '#####',
  link: '#####',
  picture: '#####',
  gender: '#####',
  locale: '#####'
}

If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
