Project setup and dependency installation. After setting up your Node.js project, on your terminal run npm i googleapis to install googleapis from npm. Add the credentials you created to your .env file: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GMAIL_REDIRECT_URL(during OAuth authentication, google will call this endpoint with the authentication code if successful). The redirect url needs to be a live url on your server's domain, but you can use ngrok to expose your localhost to the internet to enable us to get the redirect during OAuth authentication. Head over to ngrok.com and follow the instructions there to set up ngrok locally. Once you have set up ngrok, the redirect url should be in this format . Eg. https://my-url/call_back_path.

Our NestJS application receives webhooks from Ory Hydra, which is running locally. With Ory Network running on the cloud, the application must be accessible via a public URL. To expose your local development environment to the internet, utilize a tunnel service such as Tailscale Funnel, ngrok, webhook.site, or others. This step is crucial for receiving webhooks from Ory Network.

Reverse proxy solutions are a great and straightforward method to expose your dev (and possibly production) server to the internet. The two prominent ones are ngrok and Cloudflare tunnels. This article recommends both of them and compares and contrasts them on a high level.

Download and install ngrok: Head over to https://ngrok.com/ and download the ngrok client for your operating system. Follow the installation instructions.

ngrok 1.0 - Original version of ngrok. No longer developed in favor of the commercial 2.0 version.

Thanks for the history. I maintain this list[0], and wasn't aware of OG localtunnel, likely because there's a somewhat newer and now more popular project with the same name[1]. You appear to be correct on timing. Here's the earliest commits on GitHub for each of the projects:

OG localtunnel (2010): https://github.com/progrium/localtunnel/tree/fb82920d9d3e538...

Other localtunnel (2012): https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel/tree/93d62b9dbb9f...

ngrok (2012): https://github.com/inconshreveable/ngrok/tree/8f4795ecac7f92...

I'll see that OG localtunnel gets added to the list for posterity.

Slightly tangential: if you are hacking on PDFs, manually or otherwise, this is an incredibly useful tool: https://pdfcpu.io/ (not the author, just a user)

A really nice, stand-alone command line tool is pdfcpu.

Check it out => https://github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu/releases/tag/v0.6.0

I can report that the closest I've came before is with PDFMiner (https://pypi.org/project/pdfminer/) for Python. The benefit of this one is that it retains styling information, so that italics and the like can be retained, at least with some post-processing (I think one might need to convert certain CSS-classes to actual or tags).

The other option I have started looking into is the PDFCPU library for Go. It is a bit more low-level than PDFMiner, but one gets out very well structured info, that seem it might be possible to post-process quite well, for one's particular use case and PDF layouts: https://github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu

I also now tried the Marker tool in the OT, and it seems to do a reasonable job. It did intermingle some columns though, at least in some tricky cases such as when there were a round shaped image in between the two columns. One note is that Marker doesn't seem to retain styling like italics though.

Of course, the best way would be to solve it via the API without CLI. But this doesn't seem to work. https://github.com/pdfcpu/pdfcpu/issues/122
