I followed this basic tutorial, but I get:

Eroare:redirect_uri_mismatch The redirect URI in the request: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob did not match a registered redirect URI

In my googlings I understand there is something wrong in some settings I made in API Console. I enabled Drive API and I made some settings in table API Access. I take the Client ID and client secret and I put these 2 values in client source but I do not know what to put in the Redirect URI.

What should contain the Redirect URIs?

The URI urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob is a special URI used to identify out-of-browser applications, i.e. non-web applications (desktop, mobile, command line, etc.).

When you create the credentials in the APIs Console, make sure you select "Installed Application" as the application type and the redirect URI will automatically be set as urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob and prevent the "redirect_uri_mismatch" when making a request.
