Since March 2016  use prompt consent to regenerate Google API refresh token   As mentioned in https   github com googleapis oauth2client issues 453       approval prompt force has been replaced with prompt none consent select account

If I may expand on user987361 s answer   From the offline access portion of the OAuth2 0 docs      When your application receives a refresh token  it is   important to store that refresh token for future use  If your   application loses the refresh token  it will have to re-prompt the   user for consent before obtaining another refresh token  If you need   to re-prompt the user for consent  include the approval prompt   parameter in the authorization code request  and set the value to   force    So  when you have already granted access  subsequent requests for a grant type of authorization code will not return the refresh token  even if access type was set to offline in the query string of the consent page   As stated in the quote above  in order to obtain a new refresh token after already receiving one  you will need to send your user back through the prompt  which you can do by setting approval prompt to force   Cheers   PS This change was announced in a blog post as well

It is access type offline that you want    This will return the refresh token the first time the user authorises the app  Subsequent calls do not force you to re-approve the app  approval prompt force    See further detail  https   developers google com accounts docs OAuth2WebServer offline

Hi I followed following steps and I had been able to get the refresh token    Authorization flow has two steps    Is to obtain the authorization code using https   accounts google com o oauth2 auth  URL   For that a post request is sent providing following parameters   scope     SCOPE     amp client id     CLIENTID     amp redirect uri     REDIRECT     amp response type     TYPE     amp access type offline  Providing above will receive a authorization code  Retrieving AcessToken and RefreshToken using https   accounts google com o oauth2 token  URL  For that a post request is sent providing following parameters     code    code   client id    CID       client secret    CSECRET       redirect uri    REDIRECT       grant type     authorization code     So in your first attempt once you authorize the permissions you will be able to get the Refresh token  Subsequent attempts will not provide the refresh token  If you want the token again the revoke the access in you application   Hope this will help someone cheers

OAuth  has  two  scenarios  in real mode  The normal and default style of access is called online  In some cases  your application may need to access a Google API when the user is not present It s  offline  scenarios     a refresh token is obtained in offline scenarios during the first authorization code exchange   So  you can get  refersh token  is some scenarios  not all   you can have the content in https   developers google com identity protocols OAuth2WebServer offline

For those using the Google API Client Library for PHP and seeking offline access and refresh tokens beware as of the time of this writing the docs are showing incorrect examples    currently it s showing    client   new Google Client     client- gt setAuthConfig  client secret json     client- gt addScope Google Service Drive  DRIVE METADATA READONLY    client- gt setRedirectUri  http         SERVER  HTTP HOST       oauth2callback php       offline access will give you both an access and refresh token so that    your app can refresh the access token without user interaction   client- gt setAccessType  offline       Using  consent  ensures that your application always receives a refresh token     If you are not using offline access  you can omit this   client- gt setApprovalPrompt  consent     client- gt setIncludeGrantedScopes true        incremental auth   source  https   developers google com identity protocols OAuth2WebServer offline  All of this works great - except ONE piece    client- gt setApprovalPrompt  consent      After a bit of reasoning I changed this line to the following and EVERYTHING WORKED    client- gt setPrompt  consent      It makes sense since using the HTTP requests it was changed from approval prompt force to prompt consent  So changing the setter method from setApprovalPrompt to setPrompt follows natural convention - BUT IT S NOT IN THE DOCS    That I found at least
