Getting a 403 - Forbidden for Google Service Account

Question

I am trying to get an access token for Google Service Account. Following is my code -

String SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL = \"edited@developer.gserviceaccount.com\         


        

Answer 1

You need to set an admin account with:

.setServiceAccountUser(some_admin_email)

And make sure your App (with the correct scopes) is granted access in the cpanel.

Answer 2

Proceed to https://admin.google.com . Login and add Security control if not exists from More Controls. Click on Security->Advance Settings->Manage ThirdParty OAuth Client Access and check that those scopes are added(comma separated) for your xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com service account id/client id.

Answer 3

You have to enable the specific api before using it inside https://console.developers.google.com/ library, to make it work with your api key. watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_G5CnAu69M.
