Getting Started Vignette Seems Outdated

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 3 comments

Hello!

I'm trying to set setup gmailr but the Quickstart "External Setup" section is glossing over a lot of information.

In the provided link for the Python Quickstart, there are no buttons to Enable the Gmail API, and after some further floundering to setup the API, there are no dialog boxes giving me an option to DOWNLOAD CLIENT CONFIGURATION. Following the documentation leads me down a rabbit hole of setting up OAuth consent screens, setting up a scope, test users, and verifying a domain.

None of this is intuitive, and the process to get started is far from quick!

Hi @kputschko, similar issue for me. Did you make any progress on this? Thank you.

@kputschko I successfully used the instructions detailed in #143. I think this issue can be closed as a duplicate of #143.

Yes, lots of the documentation is very outdated here, but I am waking this package up after a long slumber. And yes I think we can close this in favor of #143.
