How To Create A Google-API Project

Since I frequently look stuff like this up on the web, I decided to assemble a comprehensive Step-by-Step-Tutorial that you can follow to obtain an OAuth Client-ID to access Google’s APIs.

  • Open theĀ Google Developers Console

  • Choose a name for your project

  • Click Create and wait for the project to be created

  • Once the little progress indicator in the upper right corner stopped spinning, click on it

  • Alternatively refresh your Dashboard to see the new project appear in the dropdown list at the top

  • In the left sidebar select APIs and Services

  • Under Dashboard you may add any API your project needs acces to

  • Select Credentials from the sidebar

  • Switch to the OAuth consent screen tab

  • Fill in the blanks and hit Save

  • You will be redirected to create your OAuth-Client-ID

  • Choose Web application and give it a name

  • Enter your domain for Authorized JavaScript origin

  • You will be prompted with your Client-ID as well as the key

  • Done.
