Error with GooglePhotos API

@dum that means you selected the wrong app type on google developers console when creating the cerdentials.

the credentials.json file must start

{"installed":{"

@sdetweil Thanks for your answer.
I select “TVs and Limited Input devices” as per the manual.
And the credentials.json file starts with that code you write.
I think that is not the solution or I may be still be doing something wrong.

euh installed is deprecied since one years now …
it must start with web: { now

sdetweil

@bugsounet eh? works for me every time…

bugsounet

@sdetweil just create new credentials and see ;)

For old compatibility:

sdetweil

@bugsounet so it should have worked for either type

dum

I’m sorry. what should I do?
The credentials.json file is generated automatically from the google developers console… :astonished_face:

sdetweil

@dum @bugsounet suggests you pick a different app type, and download a new credentials file

dum

@sdetweil thanks for the suggestion, I tried “desktop app” with same result.
the other app types require more data which I dont know how to fill.

sdetweil

@dum u need to pick Web Application (1st entry)

need the redirect uri…

where on your system can the api call back to put up the verification screen

http://localhost:6500

should work… its all fake…
