Authenticating Request with Google.Apis.DialogFlow.V2

Question

I have upgraded my C# DialogFlow client from Google.Cloud.DialogFlow.V2 to Google.Apis.DialogFlow.v2 However I keep getting a 401 error when connecting to DialogFlow.

Heres is my code:

Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS", cloudKeyFile);
var response = new 
  Google.Apis.Dialogflow.v2.DialogflowService().Projects.Agent.Sessions.DetectIntent(
            new Google.Apis.Dialogflow.v2.Data.GoogleCloudDialogflowV2DetectIntentRequest
            {
                QueryInput = new Google.Apis.Dialogflow.v2.Data.GoogleCloudDialogflowV2QueryInput
                {
                    Text = new Google.Apis.Dialogflow.v2.Data.GoogleCloudDialogflowV2TextInput
                    {
                        Text = queryText,
                        LanguageCode = languageCode
                    }
                }
            },
            $"projects/{ProjectId}/agent/sessions/{sessionId}")
            .Execute();

Error:

Google.Apis.Requests.RequestError Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project. [401]

NOTE: cloudKeyFile is a valid auth2 key file that worked with the previous framework. (Google.Cloud.DialogFlow.V2)

Can someone guide me on what to do?

Thnx in advance

Ok found a solution by programmatically adding creds to the request like this:

var creds = GoogleCredential.FromFile(cloudKeyFile);
var scopedCreds = creds.CreateScoped(DialogflowService.Scope.CloudPlatform);
var response = new DialogflowService(new BaseClientService.Initializer
        {
            HttpClientInitializer = scopedCreds,
            ApplicationName = ProjectId
        }).Projects.Agent.Sessions.DetectIntent(
            new GoogleCloudDialogflowV2DetectIntentRequest
            {
                QueryInput = new GoogleCloudDialogflowV2QueryInput
                {
                    Text = new GoogleCloudDialogflowV2TextInput
                    {
                        Text = queryText,
                        LanguageCode = languageCode
                    }
                }
            },
            $"projects/{ProjectId}/agent/sessions/{sessionId}")
            .Execute();

NOTE - remember to add relevant Scope flags!
