I got the below popup when I tried to execute the google form api from google developer documentation.
I tried this same process with google docs api which work perfectly. I tried tp turn on less secure app access, but it seems google made it unavailable.
what is the other way out.
Thanks
This appears to be a bug with the try me on forms.
I have logged it on the issue form and im going to see if i can find someone at google to ping about it
Forms.get try me not working
I suspect however that this may have something to do with the app being in early access. That being said i would have expected a different error message if that was the issue.
It is most likely due to the permission for the client they are using. It is an internal error and not something you have done.
May i suggest creating your own app and testing it that way. Just remember this api is in early access so be sure that you fill out the form found on this page Google Forms API now available in open beta
Developers can apply to join our Early Adopter Program and begin developing using the Google Forms API by filling out this form.

I am a beginner trying out api for fun.
The problem is, lets say, I want to write a simple windows program with golang to let my friends read and edit one of the sheets saved on my google drive. How can I do this without having them download a credential file?
What I want it to do is simply redirect them to the Oauth Page right away, and if their email address is one recognized by the app it will grant them access to that google sheet.
What i think you need is to integrate your go app with Oauth protocol.
More specifically, with the Google provider.
This is mainly 3 steps:
add the oauth client to your application
something like this: https://github.com/golang/oauth2
See their docs on how to do it.
go to google dev documentation and see how to integrate google auth flow into the client: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
I'm not sure if google has something more specific for google drive integration and/or go-lang client in particular. Please do some searching.
make the glue code on your go app so that the user can interact with this (the login button (or command, if it is terminal based), error messages, logout, etc)
More questions will appear when you start to do this, however it is a great example to learn Oauth as well.
General guidelines:
https all the queries or oauth is basically useless
oatuh has many auth-flows and you must choose which one(s) you support. use whatever google documentation recommends for m2m scenario (machine 2 machine)
log errors so that your friends can send you a log file for you to debug issues
maybe set some feature flag so that you can simply disable this feature to run/test localhost ? maybe useful? you decide.
I am currently building a NodeJS backend app that is querying the Google Calendar API. I have setup a new project on Google Cloud API platform and have generated all the required credentials. As stated by the google calendar API page, the allowed queries per day is 1,000,000. Since I am only querying for testing purposes at the moment, I am sure that I haven't even hit a 100. Yet whenever I try to query the API it returns the error:
"The API returned an error: Error: Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup."
Also I have noticed that the dev console has generated a API key for me. Where am I supposed to put that?
My initial thinking is that Google API requires me to perform an additional signup using some CLI tools or something along those lines to signup. If not, where am I supposed to sign up?
Thanks in advance.
Note: I already have all the information from the cloud platform such as client_id, client_secret, project_id.
In "Error: Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded", they key word is Unauthenticated. Your request to the Calendar API is missing an OAuth Access Token. You will need to research Google OAuth.

To anyone who comes across this post in the future. I fixed the issue by using the project generated by Google Calendar API site (https://developers.google.com/calendar/quickstart/nodejs) by clicked the big blue "Enable the google calendar api" and then changing the name of the quickstart project that was generated. I don't know why it works now but it does and it's been working quite stably so far. Lets see how to goes.
I am trying to use the Admin SDK Directory api to look up user profiles. I am able to do this successfully all day (with in quota) with 99% of the time. Though there are certain times where it just fails no matter what.
Yes I have set the service account user, I have the proper scopes, I have admin api turned on.
It even fails in the google api explorer. See screen shots

Sorry for the links, images keep showing as broken
After contacting google they supplied an answer. There is a setting for the contacts app that enables and disables this.
Admin console >> Google Apps >> Settings for Contacts >> Advanced settings
Contact sharing: Enable contact sharing
Make sure that is enabled and it works.

Honestly, it just seems like some sort of transient error on the Google side. Being that it's working ~99% of the time for you, means you're not doing anything wrong. I would consider this more true b/c you're also using a Google Tool rather than your own so you know it's not the code. When it's failing for you, does it also then fail with the API explorer? What about with the OAuth Playground?
If this is reproducible consistently (same times, after X amount of requests, etc.), it would be worth reporting the the Google for Work Support team (assuming you have the ability to contact support) as it sounds like a bug and they would be able to help with break/fix for API issues.
From the Google API Console: When trying to change the Billable Limits for the project under the Quota page, I keep getting the error: Your input was invalid.
The error message is not very informative, doesn't specify which input was invalid or why it was invalid.
I've experimented with this in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. I've also turned off all other APIs except for Custom Search API (which I'd like to increase the limit for) without any luck.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? how can it be solved?
(response from a Google employee)
This can happen if a "restricted" API is enabled on the project. "Restricted" APIs can only be seen by specifically enabled users. For instance, the Google Maps Javascript API v2 has been marked "restricted" because it was retired in 2013, and no user should see this API anymore (and instead, use v3).
Work is underway to remove the Google Maps Javascript API v2 from all the existing projects. A systemic fix is being worked on (internal Google reference #12001333), but in the meantime, if you see this error, the best workaround is to use a different API project.
I've just stumbled onto Google Safe Browsing lookup API and will admit this seems to be a bit above my head, but I still would like to learn how to use it.
I've read through the get-started documentation, but I am still confused on where to actually begin.
I've created an API key to access it, which gave me a link.
I've pasted that link into Google Chrome, and it downloaded a file, which I opened in Google Chrome on my Win 7 machine.
This is where I am stuck, where is the API?
How do I actually paste URL's into the API to see if they are malicious or not?
So, if you're still wondering about this 6 months later an API is a way of interacting with a site not through your browser. You don't need to worry about it if you're using Chrome or Firefox since the browser will do it for you.
However, you know how a website for a bar will have a small google maps box with the map of the area? The application (website) sent a get request to the Google Maps API. The simplest way you do this at home is with your terminal or command line. That's where you would type in the url you're trying to check.
