Is it possible to access Google Drive folders just by API key - google-api

Trying to get my head around the Google Drive API and being stuck on if I can get folders just via API key bypassing the OAuth2 authorization.
Particularly referring to this thread , which states it is simply possible by doing:
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q='FOLDERID'+in+parents&key=APIKEY
I'm getting an authorisation issue although the API key is correct. Also I find the ' ' really weird so I tried without and it gives me a 404. Any help is much appreciated.

For whomever it may be helpful but the issue is solved by URL encoding the ':
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q=%27FOLDER_ID%27+in+parents&key=KEY_ID
and it works just fine.

python google-api quickstart examples are poorly documented

They say its a quickstart but idk lol
Any way I have attempted to connect to the google api with Ruby for an entire week and eventually said I am going to see if its easier with python, turns out it is not.
I have added my redirect URI in the Oauth Credential. I have tried using a web applications type, a desktop app, and a tv or limited input device.
All of them return errors.
Error 400: redirect uri mismatch
Error 400: Invalid Request
Couldnt Log you in, The browser you are using doesnt support javascript, please try signing in in a browser with javascript enabled.
It keeps trying to use a localhost uri even when its set to my authorized one in the json credentials....
Is there anyone who can help me just get a basic example connection to the API working I am starting to lose hope that it is even realistic to try and build on an API as chaotic as this has been in my research so far. Everywhere you go you see devs wasting 5 days on something that should take an hour.
Edits BELOW !!!!
This has been so confusing I had to just go to trying to make a basic api call and eliminate all of the chaos brought in by these deprecated dependencies.
I have moved to just trying to get data back using post man and this tutorial >> https://medium.com/kinandcartacreated/google-authentication-with-postman-12943b63e76a
I have successfully been able to generate an Auth token using ONLY an OAuth2.0 Credential that is of TYPE 'Web Application'
However when trying to hit this endpoint....
GET https://admin.googleapis.com/admin/directory/v1/customer/MY-CUSTOMER-ID/devices/mobile?projection=FULL
I get the following error...
I know that in the end I will need to have a service account for this application configured properly, however given the wild goose chase that this has been I have been putting it off to keep the experiment controlled.
I will be working hard on trying to demystify this service account authorization for the next 4 hours atleast...
I had some difficulty getting the "quickstart" going as well.
There are a few things that should be taken into account that, in fact, aren't clearly documented.
After setting up the credentials in the respective page in Google Console as indicated in the documentation, you should download the json file and save it to the same directory as the script.
Take note that the quickstart has its own local server that it starts up when you run it. You can set the port in this line in the script. For example:
creds = flow.run_local_server(port=3000)
Then when you configure your credentials in the project, you would set the redirect URI to http://localhost:3000/
It does require some patience, because as noted, it does sometimes take several hours until the credentials settings in the Console take effect!
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/python
Same as CptCook, in my case the port defined in the quickstart is set to '0', which causes the redirect_uri error.
Removing and using the default resolved the issue.

Bot Framework - Oauth BadRequest - https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect

I am trying to get a Bot working with the Oauth example provided here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-builder-authentication?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=aadv2%2Cjavascript
If I use Azure as an exemplary issuer all works ok. So the general code works out fine.
Now, I have an example Laravel Passport app running to issue myself for testing purposes. All configuration, normal login etc. works fine. I created a generic oauth 2 client in Azure with my password client id and secret.
If I test it in the Azure Portal it heads to the request permission dialog. I confirm and it redirects to e.g. https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect?code=XYZ&state=123 and just shows Bad Request. No more, no less.
I tried different configurations etc., googled and found some with similar problems but no solution. Most just referred to secrets etc. But the secret works, a broken secret before lead to other issues I am not facing now.
And the error message is not really helpful ^^ No matter how I call https://token.botframework.com/.auth/web/redirect it is always a Bad Request.
Does anybody have an idea, a hint in what direction to look further, where issues could occur? As I am a little lost right now.

Yammer Export Data

I am hoping you can help me with a problem regarding Yammer Export Data.
I have followed the steps in https://developer.yammer.com/docs/oauth-2. received a token code and copied the example
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/export?since=2012-02-09T00:00:00+00:00&access_token=WOI87382HDL replacing the access_token with my token. But I get the error "This sight can't be reached". I know I am doing something stupid but don't know what. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
https://www.yammer.com/api/v1/export?since=2016-04-09T00:00:00&model=Message&include=csv with a bearer token for a verified admin works for me. Note that I only added the params of &model=Message&include=csv to ensure I didn't grab all the files in my network which could take awhile depending on the size of your data.
Is the user you are using a verified admin of the network?

Getting error from Parse while debugging Google login

So I'm trying to integrate Google login with Parse using the "Bring your own login" system. I was able to get the basic authorization functionality to work using the code snippets at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/parse-developers/UUvTreGYOrI.
Now, to do some testing, I went ahead and manually deleted the user object via the Parse dashboard. However, I am now getting the following error when trying to access go through the signup workflow:
com.parse.ParseRequest$ParseRequestException: {"code":101,"message":"object not found for get"}
I tried clearing the cache and uninstalling the app, but the issue persists. Can anyone help me how to get around this and start the registration process afresh?
On a more fundamental note, this is my first time implementing code OAuth, logins, and ACLs. As such, any resource/tutorial that can give me code examples of this integration with Parse on both the CloudCode and the client (app) side would be highly appreciated (I believe the current official Parse tutorial uses Git and only has samples of the server side CloudCode).
Nevermind - I figured it out.
I had to delete the entry in the TokenStorage class on the Parse dashboard. I guess that's storing the token that links the login with the User object.
Anyway - I'm keeping this open to see if someone can point me to a good sample code for this workflow.

Google place API request denied issues

I am trying to use Google places api to search the location. But Unfortunately I am getting only 1 message in responce is REQUEST DENIED. I have created new API key, but the API ACCESS Menu shows some warning icons as shown in below image does it created any issues or any other issues belonging to API key ?
Please let me know how to overcome this issue.... thanks in advance!`
my request string is this
You should also never post your API Key on the Internet like in your request string above to prevent your key from being abused. Your API Key should be kept private like a password as any usage of your key will be logged against your account.
The request above works fine using my API Key, I would suggest generating another API Key on the API Access page of the APIs console. Also make sure that you have enabled the Places API under services, instructions are here.
The notification icons are there to notify you that you have not enabled billing on your account yet.
i have the same error. the error was resolved by append &sensor=false at the end of API
I've had this issue, turns out using the key for Android applications (the one used for the maps API) is wrong. I needed to create a key for browser applications. Once I used the browser key instead of the Android key everything worked fine.
