7. Setup a "OAuth consent screen"
   • It could be possible that this is autmatically done during the cration of the OAuth Client ID,
   • if not ...In the left menue click at "OAuth consent screen" and create a new one.
   • Fill out the form, all fields with an * are mandatory. In general you can add dummy values.
   • It is important to activete this consent screen. For this click at the "PUBLISH APP" button and confirm the dialog window.

I must admit that I have never done this, instead just added any account I use as a test user to the unpublished application.

Do you recall what the consent screen activate dialog says?

Honestly I did it in a little bit other order. When I created the OAuth-Client-ID it automatlicly added the formular of the consent-screen to the OAuth-Client-ID dialog. If you have a consent-screen then google not aks for it and it is not possible to open the creation-formular for the consent screen again. Thats the reason why I have here a lack of information, as well.

But honestly it was not a big deal the important information are

• which Api is to activate
• where you can create the necessary values
• set the consent screen to "PUBLISH APP"

• set the consent screen to "PUBLISH APP"

There is some indication that this may subject the project to automated auditing, which is why I have never done it. Just conjecture, but it may be the reason why sometimes people have their API keys revoked.

I ran into this trying to understand what the correct values for the API Key, API I'd, and API Secret are supposed to be. However, I wanted to point out the suggested wiki page only refers to API key and OAuth Client ID. It is ambiguous which is which and why it only documents two of the three fields.

Even following the linked guide I still don't know what these values should be.

There are some visual aids in the pinned issue: #439 (comment)

Have a look at step 12 for clarification on where to retrieve the required values.
