I am trying to access Proximity Google API using Postman chrome app. I have followed tutorials on postman and google dev website but I'm still getting 401 error message.
What am I doing?
In order to use Proximity API, it has to be first enabled in Google Dev console. Using this tutorial I have enabled support for Proximity API for my project
According to this tutorial, I need to get client ID and secret. This is where I am confused. Credentials->Add credentials->OAuth2.0 client ID->select Chrome App radio button (since I am using Postman)->enter last part of Postman's Chrome Web store URL [which is fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop]->hit create button These steps will only generate a client ID, not a secret..am I doing something wrong?
From the Google Dev console, one can download an JSON file which has client id, auth URI and Token URI
I downloaded this but this is of little help if I am using Postman. I am guessing this JSON file is something that can be included in a JS application.
And, once I click on the debug URL, I see the following screen
Postman will query Google API impersonating a Web Application
