Issue with Google Drive API, KeyError: "client_secret"

I'm having an error with the Google Drive API. I'm getting a key error for "client_secret". Most of this code is straight from Google documentation. Has anyone else had this issue and/or knows a solution?

Code:

from __future__ import print_function
import os.path
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials

# If modifying these scopes, delete the file token.json.
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly']

def main():
"""Shows basic usage of the Drive v3 API.
Prints the names and ids of the first 10 files the user has access to.
"""
creds = None
# The file token.json stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
# created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
# time.
if os.path.exists('token.json'):
creds = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file('token.json', SCOPES)
# If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
if not creds or not creds.valid:
if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
creds.refresh(Request())
else:
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
'credentials.json', SCOPES)
creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
# Save the credentials for the next run
with open('token.json', 'w') as token:
token.write(creds.to_json())

service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=creds)

# Call the Drive v3 API
results = service.files().list(
pageSize=10, fields="nextPageToken, files(id, name)").execute()
items = results.get('files', [])

if not items:
print('No files found.')
else:
print('Files:')
for item in items:
print(u'{0} ({1})'.format(item['name'], item['id']))

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

kwargs.setdefault("client_secret", self.client_config["client_secret"])

KeyError: 'client_secret'

This is because the credentials.json does not have the "client_secret" value. What you need to do is go to the console, edit the OAuth client, "Reset Secret" and then redownload the json file again.

The issue is likely the contents of your credentials.json file.

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
  2. From the projects list, select a project or create a new one.
  3. If the APIs & services page isn't already open, open the console left side menu and select APIs & services.
  4. On the left, click Credentials.
  5. Click New Credentials, then select OAuth client ID.
  6. Select Desktop App.
  7. Click the download icon to download the Client ID/secrets file, and rename it to credentials.json.

See also Setting up OAuth 2.0.

The credentials.json file should look like:

{
  "installed": {
    "client_id": "1234-abcd.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "project_id": "myproject",
    "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
    "client_secret": "generatedsecret",
    "redirect_uris": [
      "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob",
      "http://localhost"
    ]
  }
}
