Account authentication false access request during creating oauth token googleAnalyticsR


I have a problem with the creation of an oauth token for Google Analytics for a Shiny web app.

When I run this script to create a token (like described here googleanalytics R Setup in the Video)

library(googleAnalyticsR)

my_client_id = "XXXXXX"
my_client_secret = "XXXXXX"


options(googleAuthR.webapp.client_id = my_client_id)
options(googleAuthR.webapp.client_secret = my_client_secret)

devtools::reload(pkg = devtools::inst("googleAnalyticsR"))

ga_auth()

A browser window pops up like it should for authentication in the browser. But I should not allow access to my project but for the default "GCP project for googleAnalyticsR" project.

Solution

  • I get it worked with a workaround. I just changed the client-id in the url on the authentication website.
