Since Google lists the ClientLogin API as deprecated what is the recommended alternative? In my case I need a server to authenticate and post things using credentials which I own. Alternatives like OAuth won't work in this context

The authentication method varies based on the scenario of your application. The scenarios reported by Google documentation are:

  • Login
  • Web Server Applications
  • Client-side Applications
  • Installed Applications Devices
  • Service Accounts

In your case, the Web Server Application scenario might be useful (if you give more details about what do you mean for "In my case I need a server to authenticate" I can be more precise about this point).

However, the recommended alternative to ClientLogin is OAuth2.
