Google API Python client error

Question

I want to have a script for getting home feed of Google+. I use for that google's script. The client-secrets.json file is:

{
 "web": {
   "client_id": "##########",
   "client_secret": "############",
   "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost:8080/oauth2callback/"],
   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
   "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
   "client_email":"##########@developer.gserviceaccount.com",
   "javascript_origins":["http://localhost:8080/"]
        }
}

But when i want to start this app, it opens a page with error and broken robot:

The redirect URI in the request: http://localhost:8080/ did not match a registered redirect URI

Please, help me with my problem.

I found the solution! You should create another Client ID, but for desktop application! After that you need to use it's client_id and client_secret. It works for developing without hosting.

The values you have used for client_id and client_secret correspond to a Google APIs Project that you have created and will access via

https://code.google.com/apis/console/?pli=1#project:XYZ

where XYZ is your project ID.

In this project, you'll need to make sure that http://localhost:8080/ is a redirect URI by

Clicking the "APIs Access" tab on the right
Finding the corresponding "Client ID for web applications" box for your app
Clicking "Edit settings..."
Adding http://localhost:8080/ to the "Authorized Redirect URIs" box

Running local server on port 80 and making config URLs simply http://localhost fixed it for me.

e.g. for your case

{
 "web": {
   "client_id": "##########",
   "client_secret": "############",
   "redirect_uris": ["http://localhost/oauth2callback/"],
   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
   "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
   "client_email":"##########@developer.gserviceaccount.com",
   "javascript_origins":["http://localhost"]
        }
}
