I can confirm that I have;
1. gotten a developer token
2. set up a Google API Console project
3. created a consent screen
4. gotten a client ID and a client secret
5. downloaded the credentials file from the page in step 4
The credentials file contains the following nodes (real values replaced of
course);
{
"web": {
"client_id":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com",
"project_id":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth";,
"token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token";,
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs";,
"client_secret":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
}
