GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable: missing 'type' field in credentials

[affinity226]

hi, i'm trying to use GABeat, however i got error from beat

Could not get Google Analytics data: Error creating auth context: google: error getting credentials using GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable: missing 'type' field in credentials

i downloaded client_secret file from google analytics, the file format is
{"installed":{"client_id":"1234567890","project_id":"xxxx-test","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs"}}

i just want to know how to download credential file or generate from other file.

Hello @affinity226!

I really hope u resolved your question, but if not, just create a key "type" with value "service_account" in your json ;)

like this:

   {        
        "type": "service_account",
        "installed":
        {
            "client_id":"1234567890",
            "project_id":"xxxx-test",
            "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
            "token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
            "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs"
            }
        }
    }

good look for u ;)
