Google People requires an active account and OAuth client credentials, granted by signing in with your account to connect — both are set up on its own site.[3]

You’ll be redirected to sign in and approve access — your password is never shared with WEXTL.

    OAuth 2.0 Client ID from Google Cloud Console → Credentials → your OAuth client. Enable the People API on the project.

  • Additional Scopesarray

    Optional. Extra Google OAuth scopes to request on top of the default ones, one full scope URL per item (for example https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive). Duplicates of the default scopes are ignored. Use this with your own Client ID, and enable the same scopes on its OAuth consent screen.
