Okay thanks a lot for the quick + informative reply, Eion!
It would be great to post the solution or the workaround in this list
once it becomes known, so everybody can avail it promptly.
For my part, as mentionned in my post, I did a clean install of
Pidgin+plugins, whereby I flushed everything including ~/.purple. So I
have not remnant of the refresh token. I'll have to wait.

Hi Cedric,
The Google servers made a change as of a day or two ago and no one's
yet worked out what url we should be using for auth now.
Unfortunately the bitbucket tracker for the plugin is offline due to
spam problems, but if you keep an eye on
https://github.com/tdryer/hangups/issues/260 that's probably the
closest way to see progress. (please refrain from any "me too" posts
there though as that's not the actual issue tracker for the Pidgin plugin)
If you had previously been using it successfully and still have access
to the old config, you could take the access/refresh token from the
hangouts section of the ~/.purple/accounts.xml <http://accounts.xml>
file on the working install and paste that into the accounts.xml
<http://accounts.xml> file in the new install (while Pidgin isn't running)
Otherwise we'll have to wait until someone (or me) finds the new auth
url to use.
Cheers,
Eion

Hello,
I have spent almost 6 hours trying to learn more on my issue with
Hangouts.
It seems that quite a few users on the Google "Support" Forums,
have the same access token authorization problem with Google, when
trying to enable the Hangouts account from the Pidgin client.
Curiously, there is not a hint of a solution given anywhere, where
I peeked.
After mining the web and reading on the API and the oAUth 2.0
credential authorization protocol to receive an access code, I am
left with very little to go with. Repeatedly requesting an access
code past the 25 refresh token limit per account and per client
has adverse effects. I could not find out _what_ effects those
were and how to circumvent them. I think I have not gone beyond
that limit just yet, but I am sure not going to request one again,
before being clear on what the problem is and how to solve it...
Maybe someone will find the time to nudge me in the right direction.
For reference I am working from a clean Pidgin install after
having flushed it from my Ubuntu 14.04.4 Desktop, including the
~/.purple directory.
My other plugins are:
- pidgin-twitter (does not appear to be functional as it does not
show in the account protocols' list ),
- purple-skypeweb (works well),
- telegram-Purple (works well).
Cheers,
