- Emulated Google OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, Gmail, Calendar, and Drive for local development and testing. Use when the user needs to test Google sign-in locally, emulate OIDC discovery, handle Google token exchange, configure Google OAuth clients, work with Gmail messages/drafts/threads/labels, manage Calendar events, upload or list Drive files, or work with Google userinfo without hitting real Google APIs. Triggers include "Google OAuth", "emulate Google", "mock Google login", "test Google sign-in", "OIDC emulator", "Google OIDC", "Gmail API", "Google Calendar", "Google Drive", "local Google auth", or any task requiring a local Google API.

# Google OAuth 2.0 / OIDC + Gmail, Calendar & Drive Emulator
OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect emulation with authorization code flow, PKCE support, ID tokens, OIDC discovery, refresh tokens, plus Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive REST API surfaces.
## Start
Local listeners bind to `127.0.0.1` by default. For access from containers or other machines, pass `--host 0.0.0.0` to the CLI or `hostname: '0.0.0.0'` to `createEmulator`. Configure `--base-url` or `baseUrl` for advertised URLs reachable by those clients.
```bash
# Google only
npx emulate --service google
# Default port
# http://localhost:4002
```
Or programmatically:
```typescript
import { createEmulator } from 'emulate'
const google = await createEmulator({ service: 'google', port: 4002 })
// google.url === 'http://localhost:4002'
```
## Pointing Your App at the Emulator
### Environment Variable
```bash
GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL=http://localhost:4002
```
### OAuth URL Mapping

When no OAuth clients are configured, the emulator accepts any `client_id`. With clients configured, strict validation is enforced for `client_id`, `client_secret`, and `redirect_uri`.
Google authentication is permissive by default for local bearer-token workflows. Set `google.strict_scopes: true` in seed config to require emulator-issued, unexpired access tokens on Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and userinfo routes. Invalid credentials return `401 UNAUTHENTICATED`; missing method scopes return `403` with `insufficientPermissions`. Strict mode distinguishes read, write, send, settings, and metadata scopes, and userinfo includes only granted identity claims. Revoking an access or refresh token invalidates the linked access and refresh credentials. Discovery, signing keys, and the sign-in page remain public. This mode checks method scopes; resource-specific grants such as `drive.file` and Gmail add-on scopes are not modeled.
### Hosted domain (hd) claim
Google Workspace accounts include an `hd` claim in ID tokens and userinfo responses identifying the user's hosted domain. The emulator derives this automatically from the user's email domain. Consumer domains (`gmail.com`, `googlemail.com`) omit the claim, matching real Google behavior.
To override the derived value, set `hd` on a seeded user. To suppress the claim entirely, set `hd` to an empty string.
## OAuth / OIDC Endpoints
### OIDC Discovery
```bash
curl http://localhost:4002/.well-known/openid-configuration
```
### JWKS
```bash
curl http://localhost:4002/oauth2/v3/certs
```
Returns the RSA public key used to verify the ID tokens issued by the emulator. Google ID tokens use RS256, and the discovery document advertises the same algorithm.
### Authorization
```bash
# Browser flow: redirects to a user picker page
curl -v "http://localhost:4002/o/oauth2/v2/auth?\
client_id=my-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com&\
redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google&\
scope=openid+email+profile&\
response_type=code&\
state=random-state&\
nonce=random-nonce"
```
Supports `code_challenge` and `code_challenge_method` for PKCE.
### Token Exchange
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4002/oauth2/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "code=<authorization_code>&\
client_id=my-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com&\
client_secret=GOCSPX-secret&\
redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google&\
grant_type=authorization_code"
```
Also accepts `application/json` body. Returns:
```json
{
"access_token": "google_...",
"refresh_token": "google_refresh_...",
"id_token": "<jwt>",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3600,
"scope": "openid email profile"
}
```
### Refresh Token
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4002/oauth2/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "refresh_token=google_refresh_...&\
client_id=my-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com&\
client_secret=GOCSPX-secret&\
grant_type=refresh_token"
```
Returns a new `access_token` (no new `refresh_token` or `id_token` on refresh).
### User Info
```bash
curl http://localhost:4002/oauth2/v2/userinfo \
-H "Authorization: Bearer google_..."
```
### Token Revocation
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:4002/oauth2/revoke \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "token=google_..."
```
## Gmail API
All Gmail endpoints are under `/gmail/v1/users/:userId/...` where `:userId` is `me` or the authenticated user's email.
### Messages
```bash
# List messages (filter by labels, search query)
curl "http://localhost:4002/gmail/v1/users/me/messages?labelIds=INBOX&q=from:welcome&maxResults=10" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
