Token undefined #3

I'm struggling to get a token from your library. I originally started out using the node-gcs library, but I was getting a 'Not Authorized' error back from Google. So I dove into implementing this first to understand it a bit.

Here's my gist

What happens is that I don't get an error and my token is undefined. I'm trying to deliver a cli today if possible. Please get back to me as you can. I'll be digging through your library in the meanwhile.

use scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control

see https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/authentication for all possible scope options

Perfect! Thank you. I think that should be a recommendation in your README for node-gcs. It's really not apparent what should be in there and it's difficult to dig through Google's API docs when you don't know what to look for.

To be fair, it is hard to recommend. Each api has different options, for instance in my use case I want analytics data and based on the analytics portion of the API for what I want the scope would be: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly'

As painful as the google docs are, you have to really select scope to match needs, not something a library like this should dictate.

I added a link to that Google doc to https://github.com/bsphere/node-gcs README
