Get Google OAuth credentials using Python

Question

Trying to get Get Google OAuth credentials, as mentioned in this sample:

google-oauthlib-tool --client-secrets c:\temp\client_secret_NNNN.json \ --credentials c:\temp\credentials.json \ --scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/assistant-sdk-prototype \ --save 

But calling this command there is no credentials.json file created. Any suggestions?

client_secret_NNNN.json:

{ "installed": { "client_id": "NNNN.apps.googleusercontent.com", "project_id": "personal-stuff-54a54", "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token", "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", "redirect_uris": [ "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob", "http://localhost" ] } }

Your client_secret_NNNN.json should have a key client_secret, which is missing in your example. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials. You see a list of your OAuth2 client IDs. On the very right side of each client ID, there is a pen icon. Click it. On the page which now opens, you will see Client ID, Client secret, and Creation date. The Client secret should go into client_secret. The page also offers a download of the client secrets file, which then looks like this:

{ "installed": { "client_id": "your-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com", "project_id": "your-project-id", "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token", "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", "client_secret": "your-very-secret-token-here", "redirect_uris": [ "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob", "http://localhost" ] } }
