Google Apps API OAuth2 shenanigans
by Alpha01
So I literally was just about to start flipping tables because I wasn’t able to get my Google Apps API OAuth2 api verification to work. I was getting the following error:
401. That’s an error.
Error: invalid_client
no support email
As the documentation describes, I created my application and enabled Calendar API access to it, and lastly setup my credentials. The problem was that I was generating my OAuth 2.0 client IDs without completing the app’s consent screen data. As soon as I specified my email address in my app’s consent screen data and regenerated new a client ID, I was able to authenticate my application. If only the Google Developer Console would’ve given a warning of some sort prior to generating a client ID, a lot of #!%6@*# moments would’ve been avoided.
