The Steer creates OAuth2 URL according to the Google methods encountered here and Google Drive media upload here.
OAuth2 is a protocol that authorizes third-parties applications to access data from other platforms such as google. Let's suppose you want to use google drive to create an application that creates a folder to store its data in the user's Google Drive.
To do so you need a permission given by Google that is your access token, and the user consent to let the user know that you will be using its Drive to store such data.
The Steer creates the URL to facilitate the Google OAuth2 authorization steps. Steer does not send a HTTP request instead it creates the URL to make the request by using you preferred http client such as requests, this enables the use of any http client.
Steer also offers the option to create a model HTTP URL for Google Drive. This means that the Steer creates all the necessary headers, request body, params and URL to make a request right away with any http client.
Three methods are used to upload media according to Google Drive: simple, multipart, and resumable. Steer offers simple and multipart methods.
