Is it possible to access Google Drive folders just by API key

Trying to get my head around the Google Drive API and being stuck on if I can get folders just via API key bypassing the OAuth2 authorization.

Particularly referring to this thread , which states it is simply possible by doing:

https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q='FOLDERID'+in+parents&key=APIKEY

I'm getting an authorisation issue although the API key is correct. Also I find the ' ' really weird so I tried without and it gives me a 404. Any help is much appreciated.

For whomever it may be helpful but the issue is solved by URL encoding the ':

https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files?q=%27FOLDER_ID%27+in+parents&key=KEY_ID

and it works just fine.
