API from Google Scripts Javascript?

I'd like to create a Google Script that can extract certain tasks from Toodledo. I've read that this was not previously supported but that it may be someday. I'm writing today to ask if there has been any progress on this. Is it possible to use a Google Script to access Toodledo via the API?
Thank you. |

Are you talking about Google App Scripts?

Yes. I'd like to access certain Toodledo tasks from this script with the idea of sending it by email to Evernote inbox, or similar types of interfaces that accept email.

I am not familiar with Google App Scripts, so I'm not sure. I'll have to research it. If it can do OAuth authentication, then it should work.

It looks like it's not supported directly, but there is a means for implementing the authorization:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/external My post was in response to previous posts I saw that stated Javascript was unable to access the API, and also this thread <https://www.toodledo.com/forums/7/19548/0/google-apps-scripts.html> Thanks. Ken |

If its only JS then it won't work. We haven't worked out the security aspect of letting JS access our API yet.

I keep asking because I don't want to invest my time if it isn't going to work. Thanks for your help, by the way! APIs that act on behalf of a user usually require authorization, often using the OAuth protocol. Apps Script doesn't provide built-in support for the protocol, but there are open source libraries you can use to perform the OAuth flow and send the credentials with your requests:
OAuth1 for Apps Script: Compatible with OAuth 1.0 and 1.0a. OAuth2 for Apps Script: Compatible with OAuth2. |

You would need to use one of the third party OAuth2 libraries. But it should work if you do.

Fantastic. Then it looks like I will move forward. One last question. To register my app with Toodledo, a web site and redirect URI are required. How can I register my app if I will not have either of these? This app will be for private distribution only and will simply exist as a Google App Script.
Thank you. |

You can just put in a dummy website if you don't have one and its for private use.
For the redirect URL, consult your 3rd party OAuth2 library. It may need something specific. |

Okay, thank you! Off to code...
