any plans to add support for https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?access_token=TOKEN

[davidxia]

Hi, I noticed there's no function to call the https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?access_token=TOKEN endpoint. Any plans to do so or are you open to PRs?

I couldn't find any other Google Python library that supports this endpoint. This repo seems like the best fit.

Hi @davidxia,

Can you expand on your use case? This endpoint is deprecated in favor of https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo.

Additionally this endpoint is not recommended for production. Would a tool like https://github.com/google/oauth2l or curl support your use case?

I just need to get the associated email from a token right now.

This endpoint is deprecated in favor of https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo.

Thanks, wasn't aware. I'll update my code. Is there some doc that states this deprecation?

Additionally this endpoint is not recommended for production.

Thanks, why is https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo not recommended for production? My RPS very low like 1 request/hr right now.

Looks like this is a Golang CLI. I am writing a Python web service that gets a Google OAuth token and needs to get the associated email. My code looks like

import requests
reply = requests.get("https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo", params={"access_token": token})
if reply.ok:
    token_info = reply.json()
    token_info["email"]
else:
    raise RuntimeError(
        f"Failed to get token info. Reply status code: {reply.status_code}. Reply message: {reply.text}"
    )

I don't want to shell out to a Go CLI executable. I was hoping this library or some official Google Python library had a binding/method for this endpoint. But it's so simple enough to do on my own that this is a very minor feature request.
