Bummer, let us know what went wrong. Check out our troubleshooting section below for some common errors and solutions. If you have found a bug in the code, report the issue on GitHub or submit a pull request.

Notes

  • Authorization information is stored on the file system, so subsequentexecutions will not prompt for authorization.
  • The authorization flow in this example is designed for a command-lineapplication. For information on how to perform authorization in a webapplication, seeUsing OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications.

Troubleshooting

This section describes some common issues that you may encounter whileattempting to run this quickstart and suggests possible solutions.

This error can occur in Mac OSX where the default installation of the sixmodule (a dependency of this library) is loaded before the one that pipinstalled. To fix the issue, add pip's install location to the PYTHONPATHsystem environment variable:

  1. Determine pip's install location with the following command:

  2. Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file, replacing<pip_install_path> with the value determined above:

  3. Reload your ~/.bashrc file in any open terminal windows using the followingcommand:

This app isn't verified.

The OAuth consent screen that is presented to the user may show the warning'This app isn't verified' if it is requesting scopes that provide access tosensitive user data. These applications must eventually go through theverification process toremove that warning and other limitations. During the development phase you cancontinue past this warning by clickingAdvanced > Go to {Project Name} (unsafe).
