To call a Google API or retrieve Google credentials, you typically need to follow these steps:
Create a Project in the Google Cloud Console:
Go to the Google Cloud Console.
Create a new project or select an existing one.
Enable APIs:
In the Cloud Console, navigate to the "APIs & Services" > "Dashboard."
Click on "+ ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES."
Search for the API you want to use (e.g., Google Drive API) and enable it.
Create Credentials:
After enabling the API, go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials."
Click on "Create Credentials."
Choose the type of credentials you need (API key, OAuth client ID, etc.).
Configure OAuth Consent Screen:
If you're using OAuth, set up the OAuth consent screen with the required information.
Download or Copy Credentials:
Once you've created credentials, download or copy them. For OAuth client IDs, you might download a JSON file that contains your client ID and client secret.
Use Credentials in Your Code:
Integrate the credentials into your code. For example, if you're using OAuth, you'll use the client ID and secret to authenticate your application.
Make sure to replace 'credentials.json' with the path to your downloaded JSON file containing the client ID and secret.
Remember to handle your credentials securely and never expose them in publicly accessible code or repositories.
