Hey, I am trying to get the first & last name when signing up with Google, but I cannot find it in the response. Is there any resource that can help me with this?

hey @ItayElgazar you will need to get the access token we provide and then query google using that to get the user's name

I see, I need to basically use the Google API to fetch that?

Do you maybe have a resource of how to use their API? I am goggling but it looks a bit cryptic :D, I am sure many people asked that question and you probably have the link to the specific resource I need

I guess it's this https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client
