  1. That’s an error.

Error: invalid_client

The OAuth client was not found.

enter image description here

In the following pic, I made with restricted mode in API keys section. This helped me to to remove the display. Hence finally, shown as:

No API keys to display

Try to validate the client_id with those that you created for your project as:

https://console.developers.google.com/google/maps-apis/credentials?folder=&organizationId=&project=saml-281612

The project name, like in my case, it is saml, should match with the project apps as saml to mitigate mismatch_uri error.

This helped me to remove all those errors as:

1. Error 400 : mismatch_uri
2. Error 401 : invalid client_id

In my case, i mistakenly add a , in the values in my .env files so better check that file

# check the comma at the end
AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=randomauthsecret,
AUTH_CLIENT_ID=randomclientid,

That causes the wrong client id value. So just remove the ,. Another thing, also don't enclose them in quotes.

AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=randomauthsecret
AUTH_CLIENT_ID=randomclientid

    Yeah in my case, I entered client_id where api_key was supposed to be and vice versa and I wasted my 20 minutes. Thanks for saving me some time. – Savitoj Cheema Mar 10 '21 at 07:15

you may be getting this error if you are already logged in to a google account on your system so log out of all accounts and then run the code

It worked for me after I removed the quotation marks I had set in my environment variable

The problem was how vscode format the code, it leaves spaces within the client_id, so I used atom to write the client_id in the .env file and ran app.js through hyper. It worked.

Also facing the same issue and wasted half an hour, the thing that worked for me was creating a new credential and replacing old credential in code with new.

And then it was working as expected

  • Brevity is great, but only when brevity is able to achieve a clear and concise answer. This answer lacks any sort of explanation &/or example. – JΛYDΞV Jul 14 '21 at 16:05

May be values are not correct in .env file for "Client ID" and "Client secret" or mistake of using "," in file.

I had the same issue sometimes back what helped was adding a space when passing the client id.

  • This was my problem: VS 2022 * performs autoformatting when pasting into code outside "". Part of this formatting is to separate "-" from other characters with space. – hardyVeles May 12 '22 at 16:41

check if there is a semi-colon or comma at the end of your dotenv(.dotnv) file

AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=randomauthsecret; AUTH_CLIENT_ID=randomclientid,
