Get video comments on Youtube

Question

I'm using Google API, specifically Youtube's Data API, to get comments above a video, using video ID. I'm using python example from Google Documentation here, but I've the following error:

Missing property "redirect_uris" in a client type of "web"

So, this is my client_secrets_....json file:

{
    "installed": {
        "client_id":"xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxje3a7fk4jbs63g6m1a2mand4sa3h.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "project_id":"progettotesicuozzo",
        "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
        "token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
        "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
        "client_secret":"XXXXXXXXXXX",
        "redirect_uris":[
            "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob",
            "http://localhost"
        ]
    }
}

This is the code:

# Usage example:
# python test.py --videoid='' --text=''

    storage = Storage("%s-oauth2.json" % sys.argv[0])
    credentials = storage.get()

    if credentials is None or credentials.invalid:
        credentials = run_flow(flow, storage, args)

    with open("youtube-v3-discoverydocument.json", "r", encoding="utf8") as f:

    ).execute()

    for item in results["items"]:
        comment = item["snippet"]["topLevelComment"]
        author = comment["snippet"]["authorDisplayName"]
        text = comment["snippet"]["textDisplay"]

    for item in results["items"]:
        author = item["snippet"]["authorDisplayName"]
        text = item["snippet"]["textDisplay"]
        print("Comment by " + author + ": " + text)

    return results["items"]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # The "videoid" option specifies the YouTube video ID that uniquely
    # identifies the video for which the comment will be inserted.
    argparser.add_argument("--videoid", help="Required; ID for video for which the comment will be inserted.")
    # The "text" option specifies the text that will be used as comment.
    #argparser.add_argument("--text", help="Required; text that will be used as comment.")
    args = argparser.parse_args()

    if not args.videoid:
        exit("Please specify videoid using the --videoid= parameter.")

    youtube = get_authenticated_service(args)
    # All the available methods are used in sequence just for the sake of an example.
    try:
        video_comment_threads = get_comment_threads(youtube, args.videoid)
        parent_id = video_comment_threads[0]["id"]
        video_comments = get_comments(youtube, parent_id)
        except HttpError as e:
        print("An HTTP error " + str(e.resp.status) + " occurred:
" +  json.dumps(str(e.content)))
    else:
        print("Inserted, listed, updated, moderated, marked and deleted comments.")

How can I configure well my json file, please?

After fixing my Json file I am now faced with this error:

An HTTP error 403 occurred:
{
    "error": {
        "errors": [
            {
                "domain": "global",
                "reason": "insufficientPermissions",
                "message": "Insufficient Permission"
            }
        ],
        "code": 403,
        "message": "Insufficient Permission"
    }
}

I've requested a my personal video, using the ID from the web URL, but I got the error, after I've been prompted to the redirect_uri.
