Gmail api - browser quickstart error: bad request

I followed Google gmail api browser quickstart step by step, but when I try to open index.html I get the following error:

{
  "error": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "domain": "usageLimits",
        "reason": "keyInvalid",
        "message": "Bad Request"
      }
    ],
    "code": 400,
    "message": "Bad Request"
  }
}

=(

In my case, I realize API_KEY is not the secret key from OAuth Credential process. So, I suppose you need to generate an API_KEY after generate a CLIENT_ID.

If you are not planning to use the API Key, kindly remove it in the request:

  function initClient() {
    gapi.client.init({
      apiKey: API_KEY, ///this one, since you didn't provide any value it will return an error.
      clientId: CLIENT_ID,
      discoveryDocs: DISCOVERY_DOCS,
      scope: SCOPES
    }).then(function () {
      // Listen for sign-in state changes.
      gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().isSignedIn.listen(updateSigninStatus);

      // Handle the initial sign-in state.
      updateSigninStatus(gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().isSignedIn.get());
      authorizeButton.onclick = handleAuthClick;
      signoutButton.onclick = handleSignoutClick;
    }, function(error) {
      appendPre(JSON.stringify(error, null, 2));
    });
  }

That should eliminate the issue you are encountering. My suggestion would be provide a valid API key from the console or remove it from the request (not sure how it will behave since in the quickstart they require both client ID and API key).
