i am new to python and we are working on one project, which needs to collect information from google+ account through api.Tried the below code, but getting errors.

from apiclient.discovery import build
service = build('plus', 'v1', developerKey='Client Secret')
people_service = service.people()
people_document = people_service.get(userId='me').execute()
print 'Display name: %s' % people_document.get('displayName')

error i am getting is : googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/me?alt=json&key=xxxx returned "Bad Request">. Can any one suggest me what should be the developerkey in service object?

You need to get the key from google. Check the api docs – joel goldstick Jun 27 '16 at 11:07
i have created client_id and client_secret, is that developer key is same as client_secret? – Testing_GA Jun 27 '16 at 13:04
Usually the way these things work is that you fill out a form for the api key, and they give you a long key. You can't make one up. – joel goldstick Jun 27 '16 at 13:06
Can you provide me the proper document links. Thanks for your help – Testing_GA Jun 27 '16 at 13:43
