Google spreadsheet api Request had insufficient authentication scopes

Question

I\'m making an script to read data from google spreadsheet using the following script on nodejs:

var url = oauth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
    access_type:            


        

Answer 1

The same problem occurred when I updated the scope. Along with the instruction, I delete the token.json file under the same directory with the python script, then the Authentication scope issue went away.

Answer 2

as @herrogokunaruto mentioned, ensure token.pickle file is not present in the workspacefolder

Answer 3

The scopes look good, maybe you should try to remove the credentials stored previously in /Users/yourUserName/.credentials/sheets.googleapis.com-projectName/*, and then execute the application again to get new credentials.
