How to fetch user's age and location while doing google signin

Question

I am integrating google signin in my app.I need to store email,name,agerange,location.So while doing signin, i have set the scope to profile,email and profile.auth.agerange.read.

gapi.signin2.render('g-signin2', {
    'scope': 'email profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile openid https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/profile.agerange.read',
    'width': 240,
    'height': 50,
    'longtitle': true,
    'theme': 'dark',
    'onsuccess': onSuccess,
    'onfailure': onFailure
  });

But still when i am verifying the generated id_token using GoogleIdTokenVerifier i can't see age or location field in the payload.

Can anyone suggest how to get those details.

Hi Manish, have you ever found solution for this. Do we need to call API separately for getting age? — deen, Mar 29 '22 at 06:49

Most likely location and age group wouldn't be provided with a basic payload. And you would be needed to call an additional API(s):

Also, take a look into get-user-info-via-google-api topic.

You can also get dob from api and calculate the age of the user. location string can also get from the rest api response from google.
