I looked at all url's but could not find the solution to fullfill my requirement.....

1) I have an API, in which there is a method call Getcity()
2) I have one webpage where I am going to consume this API on Login button..
3) my requirement is, If i want to call my API method i.e Getcity() on button click, then It should navigate to google page , where I will give my credns and then If suceeded, I will be accessing my webmethod Getcity()...As I am having the clientID and Secret.....

Hope you understood the requirement....

It is simple problem....
