Google API client secrets error (Python)

google-api-python-client, google-app-engine, python

Solution

Ensure the terminal is pointing to the same path directory as your `client_secrets.json` file.

i.e. type `pwd` in the console you're using to call the script and the output should match the directory of where `client_secrets.json` is stored.

Problem

I want to retrieve data from Google analytics. I have created a service account in the console and I am using Google's Python (`hello_analytics_api_v3.py`) code to access the data. I have copied the `client_secrets.json` into my folder but get this error: ``` *SystemExit: WARNING: Please configure OAuth 2.0 To make this sample run you will need to populate the client_secrets.json file found at:* ``` What should I do? I am using Python 2.7.
