(I don't know what the above means on the issue template. Should this library be used for calling google api's in a webapp)
Summary
I am working on a webapp which I want to use google login to call google API's while the user is present.
I have followed instructions here - https://developers.google.com/identity/authentication
I have generated a button and it is working and I can login and I get a response simular to the following in a javascript callback:
{clientId: 'xx',
client_id: 'xx',
credential: 'yyy',
select_by: 'user'}
The credential is a valid JWT token and I have verified it at jwt.io.
The problem is I now need to know how to use this credential to call an API.
https://developers.google.com/identity/authorization says I should use a library to quickly and securly call google API's.
The links bring me to this repo.
I can see no reference to this credential anywhere in this repo.
This repo talks about an access token which is different to the credential JWT token. I can't find how I should be exchanging one to the other.
Can a sample be added to this library which shows how it should be used?
Browser(s)/Version(s)
All of them
Expected Behavior
I should come to this repo and it should have at least one example of how to use the credential to call an API.
Actual Behavior
I get lots of examples using an out dated method which won't work because new google client id's have this method disabled.
Steps to Reproduce
Try and develop a webapp that uses google API's.
