name, given_name and family_name json property are missing in google + api get user info

Question

I have created google api services app and verify that user.profile info scope is by default added.

Authentication, token and get the user info is working fine for me, however few fields are missing in get user info api response.

I am using below mentioned endpoints to communicate with google api.

Authentication : https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
Retrieving Token : https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
Getting User Info : https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v2/userinfo?access_token=xxxxxxxxxx and https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token=xxxxxxxxxx

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(googleGetUrl + $"&access_token={accesstoken}");
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
    using (Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream())
    {
        using (StreamReader readStream = new StreamReader(receiveStream))
        {
            string responseFromServer = readStream.ReadToEnd();

            return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<GoogleUser>(responseFromServer);
        }
    }
}

I am getting the json response as mentioned below

{
  id: "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  email: "[email protected]",
  verified_email: true,
  picture: "https://validurl/photo.jpg",
  hd: "getting value"
}

But what I want expect like below mentioned Json

{
  id: "xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  email: "[email protected]",
  verified_email: true,
  picture: "https://validurl/photo.jpg",
  hd: "getting value",
  name: "some value",
  family_name: "some value",
  given_name: "some value"
}

scope configuration :

Please let me know if I have missed any configuration. Your help would be much appreciated.

Try this api => https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json&access_token=youraccess_token — er-sho
I'm guessing the endpoint versions you chose simply don't support those name fields. I would contact Google Support, or look at this similar article: stackoverflow.com/questions/7130648/…. It lists other sources you could use. — Max Voisard
I have tried googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/… this one as well. same result no luck. — Mohsinkhan Pathan

I was missing scope parameter in authentication URL and having used below URL works for me.

return string.Format( "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id={0}&redirect_uri={1}&response_type=code&scope={2}", ClientId, CallBackUrl, "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email");
