Hey @BlueSchnabeltier ,

had the same issue, what you need to select in Google Cloud console Credentials is the application type Desktop app which has client id and client secret.

What you should also do if not done already add yourself as a test user to OAuth consent screen so you can make the request to the API.

Also when running the login for the first time, don't use Jupyter notebook, it generated a problem for the authentication process, running the script in the terminal made the flow run fine and could authenticate.

I hope it helps.
