google api - Error: invalid_client no registered origin

Question

I have installed the Google Drive Realtime API sample files on my web server, following these instructions, including generating a client_id in the Cloud Console and inserting it into the index.html file.

When I visit that page and click the button to authorize the app, it pops up with a new window and shows:

Error: invalid_client
no registered origin

The Request Details are:

openid_connect_request=true
cookie_policy_enforce=false
scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.install https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me
response_type=token

redirect_uri=postmessage

state=264939258|0.165356673
display=page
client_id=1077585001321.apps.googleusercontent.com

I can't see any other client_id that I should be using in the Cloud Console. Does anybody know how to overcome this error? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

In the new Google API Console, configure your OAuth2.0 authorized origins from

Your Project > APIs & auth > Credentials

You might need to add a new Client ID specifically for a web application (I did because the default was for AppEngine)

Create Client ID > Web Application > Authorized Javascript origins

If you are running on a local dev server, just add the exact URL such as :

http://127.0.0.1:9000
