description	Emulated Google OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 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, 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", "local Google auth", or any task requiring a local Google OAuth/OIDC provider.

Google OAuth 2.0 / OIDC Emulator

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect emulation with authorization code flow, PKCE support, ID tokens, and OIDC discovery.

Start

# Google only
npx emulate --service google

# Default port
# http://localhost:4002

Or programmatically:

import { createEmulator } from "emulate";

const google = await createEmulator({ service: "google", port: 4002 });
// google.url === 'http://localhost:4002'

google-auth-library (Node.js)

import { OAuth2Client } from "google-auth-library";

const GOOGLE_URL =
  process.env.GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL ?? "https://accounts.google.com";

const client = new OAuth2Client({
  clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
  redirectUri: "http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google",
});

// Override the endpoints
const authorizeUrl = client.generateAuthUrl({
  access_type: "offline",
  scope: ["openid", "email", "profile"],
});
// Replace the host in authorizeUrl with GOOGLE_URL, or construct manually:
const emulatorAuthorizeUrl = `${GOOGLE_URL}/o/oauth2/v2/auth?client_id=${process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri=...&scope=openid+email+profile&response_type=code&state=...`;

Auth.js / NextAuth.js

import Google from "@auth/core/providers/google";

Google({
  clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
  authorization: {
    url: `${process.env.GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL}/o/oauth2/v2/auth`,
    params: { scope: "openid email profile" },
  },
  token: {
    url: `${process.env.GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL}/oauth2/token`,
  },
  userinfo: {
    url: `${process.env.GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL}/oauth2/v2/userinfo`,
  },
});

Passport.js

import { Strategy as GoogleStrategy } from "passport-google-oauth20";

const GOOGLE_URL =
  process.env.GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL ?? "https://accounts.google.com";

new GoogleStrategy(
  {
    clientID: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    callbackURL: "http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google",
    authorizationURL: `${GOOGLE_URL}/o/oauth2/v2/auth`,
    tokenURL: `${GOOGLE_URL}/oauth2/token`,
    userProfileURL: `${GOOGLE_URL}/oauth2/v2/userinfo`,
  },
  verifyCallback
);

Seed Config

google:
  users:
    - email: [e-mail]
      name: Test User
      given_name: Test
      family_name: User
      picture: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/default-user
      email_verified: true
      locale: en
    - email: [e-mail]
      name: Developer
  oauth_clients:
    - client_id: my-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com
      client_secret: GOCSPX-secret
      name: My App
      redirect_uris:
        - http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google

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.

API Endpoints

OIDC Discovery

curl http://localhost:4002/.well-known/openid-configuration

Returns the standard OIDC discovery document with all endpoints pointing to the emulator:

{
  "issuer": "http://localhost:4002",
  "authorization_endpoint": "http://localhost:4002/o/oauth2/v2/auth",
  "token_endpoint": "http://localhost:4002/oauth2/token",
  "userinfo_endpoint": "http://localhost:4002/oauth2/v2/userinfo",
  "revocation_endpoint": "http://localhost:4002/oauth2/revoke",
  "jwks_uri": "http://localhost:4002/oauth2/v3/certs",
  "response_types_supported": ["code"],
  "subject_types_supported": ["public"],
  "id_token_signing_alg_values_supported": ["HS256"],
  "scopes_supported": ["openid", "email", "profile"],
  "code_challenge_methods_supported": ["plain", "S256"]
}

JWKS

curl http://localhost:4002/oauth2/v3/certs

Returns { "keys": [] }. ID tokens are signed with HS256 using an internal secret.

Authorization

# 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"

Query parameters:

Param	Description
client_id	OAuth client ID
redirect_uri	Callback URL
scope	Space-separated scopes (openid email profile)
state	Opaque state for CSRF protection
nonce	Nonce for ID token (optional)
code_challenge	PKCE challenge (optional)
code_challenge_method	plain or S256 (optional)

The emulator renders an HTML page where you select a seeded user. After selection, it redirects to redirect_uri with ?code=...&state=....

Token Exchange

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"

Returns:

{
  "access_token": "google_...",
  "id_token": "<jwt>",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "scope": "openid email profile"
}

The id_token is a JWT (HS256) containing sub, email, email_verified, name, given_name, family_name, picture, locale, and optional nonce.

For PKCE, include code_verifier in the token request.

User Info

curl http://localhost:4002/oauth2/v2/userinfo \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer google_..."

Returns:

{
  "sub": "user-uid",
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "email_verified": true,
  "name": "Test User",
  "given_name": "Test",
  "family_name": "User",
  "picture": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/default-user",
  "locale": "en"
}

Token Revocation

curl -X POST http://localhost:4002/oauth2/revoke \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "token=google_..."

Returns 200 OK. The token is removed from the emulator's token map.

Common Patterns

Full Authorization Code Flow

GOOGLE_URL="http://localhost:4002"
CLIENT_ID="my-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com"
CLIENT_SECRET="GOCSPX-secret"
REDIRECT_URI="http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google"

# 1. Open in browser -- user picks a seeded account
#    $GOOGLE_URL/o/oauth2/v2/auth?client_id=$CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI&scope=openid+email+profile&response_type=code&state=abc

# 2. After user selection, emulator redirects to:
#    $REDIRECT_URI?code=<code>&state=abc

# 3. Exchange code for tokens
curl -X POST $GOOGLE_URL/oauth2/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "code=<code>&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET&redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI&grant_type=authorization_code"

# 4. Fetch user info with the access_token
curl $GOOGLE_URL/oauth2/v2/userinfo \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

PKCE Flow

# Generate code_verifier and code_challenge
CODE_VERIFIER=$(openssl rand -base64 32 | tr -d '=+/' | cut -c1-43)
CODE_CHALLENGE=$(echo -n $CODE_VERIFIER | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | base64 | tr -d '=' | tr '+/' '-_')

# 1. Authorize with challenge
# $GOOGLE_URL/o/oauth2/v2/auth?...&code_challenge=$CODE_CHALLENGE&code_challenge_method=S256

# 2. Token exchange with verifier
curl -X POST $GOOGLE_URL/oauth2/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "code=<code>&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET&redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI&grant_type=authorization_code&code_verifier=$CODE_VERIFIER"

OIDC Discovery-Based Setup

Libraries that support OIDC discovery (like openid-client) can auto-configure from the discovery document:

import { Issuer } from "openid-client";

const googleIssuer = await Issuer.discover(
  process.env.GOOGLE_EMULATOR_URL ?? "https://accounts.google.com"
);

const client = new googleIssuer.Client({
  client_id: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
  redirect_uris: ["http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google"],
});
