I'd like to use Google as a 3rd party sign-on provider for my app running on localhost. This isn't my first rodeo, and I would have thought that this would be straight forward.
However I'm struggling to find the place within the google system where I can create my app and manage my client_id, secret, callback url and other properties, specifically just to use google as a 3rd party sign-in provider.
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?

First, you have to create a project in Google Cloud Console. There are tons of APIs available for you to use here. But for the 3rd party sign-in provider (social login) you have to enable Google+ API
which would provide details such as profile, email, etc. This can be done by accessing the APIs and Services menu.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the Credentials menu and create a new set of credentials. Once you register your application here, you will be provided with client_id
and client_secret
and other options related to OAuth and OpenID.
