I am using Google Analytic Embed API. I want auto authorization so that user don't need to enter credential. But I am not getting how to obtain access_token.

gapi.analytics.auth.authorize({    
  serverAuth: {       
    access_token: 'Server side generated token'      
  }  
});

• javascript
• google-analytics
• google-analytics-api

• You cant auto authorize with JavaScript, the user must authenticate themselves. – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Commented May 11, 2015 at 11:04
• @DaImTo authorizing via JavaScript is perfectly fine, as long as you've obtained an access token in a secure way yourself. – Philip Walton Commented May 11, 2015 at 22:24
