chrome-oauth-steps.md

Step 1

• Go here https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/chromewebstore/overview
• Create a project.
• Go here again https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/chromewebstore/overview
• Credentials > Create Credentials > Oauth Client ID
• Configure Concent Screen
• Enter yourextensionname
• Select Other > then click Create
• Save clientId and clientSecret

Step 2

• Copy this below in a notepad and Replace the YOUR_CLIENT_ID with the clientId we got from above step 1.
• https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chromewebstore&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
• Now open the link in a browser. You will see another code, save it too. We will call it code.
• Now paste the following in browsers console,

copy(`curl "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token" -d "client_id=${encodeURIComponent(prompt('Enter your clientId'))}&client_secret=${encodeURIComponent(prompt('Enter your clientSecret'))}&code=${encodeURIComponent(prompt('Enter your authcode'))}&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob"`);alert('The curl has been copied. Paste it into your terminal.')

and enter the three codes.

• You'll get another code for curl.
• Paste that on terminal to get access token and refresh token.

Now we have three codes.

clientId: 'xxxxxxxxxx'
clientSecret: 'xxxxxxxxxx'
refreshToken: 'xxxxxxxxxx'

We can use them to login to store and publish stuff automatically.

Step 3

• To upload an extension automatically, we need to save the extension id.
• If this is the chrome url, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-viewer/gbmdgpbipfallnflgajpaliibnhdgobh then we have to save the gbmdgpbipfallnflgajpaliibnhdgobh part from it.
