Figure out if Google Auth needs to be updated before Google+ shutdown on March 7, 2019
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Seems likely:

Please update your projects listed below by March 7, 2019 and ensure they are no longer using Google+ APIs. The data below shows which Google+ API methods your projects have recently called.

Note: If you see calls to people.get, these can be the result of using the Google+ Sign-In feature in your application, which is now fully deprecated and is being shut down. Developers should migrate from the Google+ Sign-In feature to the more comprehensive Google Sign-in authentication system.

Event Timeline

Since the google-api is also disabled by default in Google Cloud env, I had to make changes to some other oauth provider at https://gitlab.com/SirEdvin/sanic-oauth/commit/fae23f6b35517dd9e8bec328dbb4dc883e033d78.
There, the g+ api was only used to get the user's email, iirc, and an alternative exists in https://www.googleapis.com/userinfo/v2/me.

epriestley added a project: Auth.

I received email from google announcing the deprecation few days ago. In the announcement they stated that they'll introduce intermittent failures on responses from the G+ API as soon as 01/2019.

Yes the exact text from the announcement about the intermittent failures states:

This will be a progressive shutdown beginning in late January, with calls to these APIs starting to intermittently fail as early as January 28, 2019.

So there's a month as of today.
