Authentication error in APi calls with Google PubSub - ajax

I want to push/pull messages to topic on Google Cloud PubSub service. I need to fetch these messages with AJAX without promoting login/permissions screen to end user (i.e. end user can use this service without login). I have tried to add key={spiKey} in query string, but unable to get data every time get 401 error
{
"error": {
"code": 401,
"message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
"status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
}
}

Pubsub Authorization Issue

I've generated a Google Cloud API key without restrictions. I'm passing that to the my topic:publish url as a query parameter, but I'm experiencing an authorization error.
{
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "User not authorized to perform this action.",
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
}
}
I'm unsure how to diagnose the permission issue, as there don't appear to be any restrictions on the key. The owner of the topic is my account, so shouldn't be an issue there.
Google Pub/Sub does not support API Keys for authorization. Pub/Sub uses Access Tokens. This means using a Service Account or Google OAuth.

Unable to consume ServiceNow API to create incident (ticket) in ServiceNow

https://xxxx.service-now.com/api/now/v1/table/incident while we're consuming this API in postman we're getting
{
"error": {
"message": "User Not Authenticated",
"detail": "Required to provide Auth information"
},
"status": "failure"
}
Here we are given basic authentication and the JSON input like
{
"short_description":"Creating incident through Request",
"assignment_group":"287ebd7da9fe198100f92cc8d1d2154e",
"urgency":"3",
"impact":"3"
}
It basically says you are not authenticated, it either means you didnt provide correct credentials or you forgot to provide basic-auth header while querying through postman
I think the error message is pretty clear about what the problem is... you're not authenticated. You'll need to authenticate in order to utilize the API. Unless you have a complex authentication scheme going, you can probably use Basic Authentication in PostMan and use the credentials for an account which you know has access to the resource you're trying to access.

keyInvalid Error when calling Google Calendar API

I'm writing a Lambda function that queries Google Calendar events. Although I successfully created a credential (client ID, and client secret) on Google Developers Console, I cannot access the events. Error:
{ "error": { "errors": [{ "domain": "usageLimits", "reason": "keyInvalid", "message": "Bad Request" } ], "code": 400, "message": "Bad Request" } }
My http request looks like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/MY_CLIENT_ID/events?key=MY_CLIENT_SECRET
What went wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
"domain": "usageLimits", "reason": "keyInvalid", "message": "Bad Request"
Means that the key you are sending is an invalid api key.
Background info
When you make a request to a Google api for public data you can use an API key. Public data is data that is not owned by a user. For example public posts on google+, google books. In these instances you can use an api key inorder to access the api using
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=25&q=surfing&type=test&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
key identifies your application to google using the api key you create in google developer console.
Private data is data that is owned by a user for instance your google calendar an application can not post to it with out permissions. Inorder to do this we use Oauth2. You create a client on google developer console then login the user using oauth2. you will get an access token back then you can make a request
https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/MY_CLIENT_ID/events?accesstoken=ACCESSTOKEN
Notice that the first request used key and the second used accesstoken.
Anwser
Your problem is that you are sending a client secret as an api key which will not work because first of all a client secret is not an api key and second events are private user data which will require that you authenticate your user first.

Access google connections using google people API

I would like to fetch all the google private connections of a user signed in from my app.
I've enabled the Google People and the Google Plus API's. I set up the credentials API key, client id & client secret. The url with which I'm trying to fetch the users connections is
https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people/me/connections?fields=connections&key=api_key&access_token=access_token
Also, I'm using the library passport-google-oauth, to get the users access_token. Is there anything that I'm missing in the above URL.
My google auth code is
// send to google to do the authentication
// profile gets us their basic information including their name
// email gets their emails
app.get('/auth/google', passport.authenticate('google', {
scope: ['profile', 'email','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts']
}));
// the callback after google has authenticated the user
app.get('/auth/google/callback',
passport.authenticate('google', {
successRedirect: '/profile',
failureRedirect: '/'
}));
You have not mentioned what error you are getting but by looking at the url you are using I can tell you a few things.
people.connections.list access private user data. So for one you don't need to add Key that is just used for accessing public data. However having both should not result in any error message.
I have tested the request you are sending and it does work however this request requires that you have authenticated with at least one of the connections scopes.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts Requests that your app be
given read and write access to the contacts in the authenticated
user’s Google Contacts.
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly Requests that your
app be given read access to the contacts in the authenticated user’s
Google Contacts.
If you have not then you will get a no access error message.

"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "Request had insufficient authentication scopes.",
"status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
}

google plus api: "insufficientPermissions" error

I am searching the google plus with api
Here is my Url:
https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities?query=internet%20marketing&access_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
here is response:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "insufficientPermissions",
"message": "Insufficient Permission"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Insufficient Permission"
}
}
Here is my API CONSOLE screen http://i.stack.imgur.com/jO27J.png
Can Anyone tell what permission I need to setup for my app in api console. ?
This is a problem with your access token, not with your project configuration.
The insufficient permissions error is returned when you have not requested the scopes you need when you retrieved your access token. At a guess, since you are using the Google+ API and the YouTube API, you may have only requested the YouTube scope and not both, ie:
Check you have requested both:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login
and not just the first one.
You can check which scopes you have requested by passing your access_token to this endpoint:
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
I can't check the token in your example because it has expired (access tokens expire after one hour). Also, please do not post access tokens publicly as they allow others access to your data - they should be kept secret and treated with care.
Incidentally, https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities?query=QUERY is an unauthenticated call, so you could pass your API key for your project rather than an access token. If you make the call with https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/activities?query=QUERY&key=API-KEY, then you wouldn't need to request scopes or fetch an access token at all.
If you haven't seen it already, you can try out the API calls you would like to make at the OAuth 2.0 Playground:
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
That's a good place to see what works and what doesn't.
According to #Lee answer, now the Google V3 OAuth AccessToken validating endpoint is:
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/tokeninfo?access_token=<access_token>
You can refer google document below: (In OAUTH 2.0 ENDPOINTS Tab)
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2UserAgent#validate-access-token
JavaScript
var OAUTH2_SCOPES = [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube',
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login
];
to retrieve comments from the YouTube API add https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login this into OAUTH2_SCOPES array
