Error: The file oath2service.json is missing required keys

[Casey Cotita]

So I followed all the instructions here (a couple times, carefully trying to fix this myself): https://github.com/jay0lee/GAM/wiki/CreatingClientSecretsFile#creating-your-own-oauth2servicejson

I've renamed the requisite file to oauth2service.json, and the file contains:

Also renamed the requisite client_secrets.json, and the file contains:

I have them authorized for the following in the Google Admin Security API section:

Using those, I ran:

gam info domain

It brought up the browser logged in as a Super Admin, I successfully gave it access, it says:

Authentication successful.

Google Apps Domain: wgu.edu

....more lines...

I could then run this command successfully:

c:\gam>gam info user my....@wgu.edu

User: my....@wgu.edu

First Name: Casey

Last Name: Cotita

Is a Super Admin: True

...more lines...

But when I tried this command (and others) to test, I get the following error:

c:\gam>gam user my....@wgu.edu delete messages query filename:pdf

Searching messages for my....@wgu.edu

Please follow the instructions at this site to setup a Service Account.

oauth2servicejson

ERROR: The file c:\gam\oauth2service.json is missing required keys (client_email

, client_id or private_key).

Any suggestions for what to try or what I might be missing?

Casey,

Your oauth2service.json file is incorrect. Any button/icon that says download with a servce account downloads a client_secrets.json, not an oauth2service.json.

I've only been able to get an oauth2service.json file at the moment of key creation.

The instructions explain how to get an oauth2service.json if you start from the beginning; if you didn't get the first one successfully, follow these steps.

Log in to the developers console. 

When you sign in, you should be at the Projects screen; click your project name.

This should bring you to Home; click Enable APIs and get credentials like keys.

Click Credentials

At the end of the line that says "Service account keys"; click Manage service accounts

At the end of the line that has your project name; click the three dots and choose Create Key

That's your oauth2service.json after renaming.

Aha, that was definitely it. It looks like I had successfully created those particular .json files previously but managed to download and grab the wrong ones when it came time to rename. 

Everything is working now, thanks so much for your help!
