As per step 3, unable to authenticate

[digdeep]

Getting the following errors when trying to authenticate. In the GA API manager, I set it up as Client ID for Other but I cannot even make it to the token page as I get the below error after inputting my Client ID and Secret.

Hmm, maybe try downloading the very latest https://github.com/google/oauth2client. This isn't the first time Google has had trouble making their libraries fully Python2/3 compatible.

It would also be interesting to see if you have this same problem on Python 3 – I know you might not be able to use Python 3 for your project, but it would clarify whether it is indeed a compatibility problem (which is what it looks like) or something else.

Thanks. Will give it a go and provide update.

New Year, finally got around to testing this. I ran into the same issue with python 3 as with 2.7.

The error I get specifically, Error: no such option: --identity

It goes into the authentication screen in the browser, where it reads auth complete, but in the Command line it fails. I am assuming it has something to do with the token. Worth mentioning, using the same credentials with the Google google-api-python-client it works just fine with authentication.

I am on Mac OS X running El Capitan and using Conda so have diff py versions running on separate .env.

What is the exact command you're running on the command line?

[digdeep]

googleanalytics authorize --identity myproject

It starts the authentication with Command Line line - human readable *.. but fails at the end when it tries authenticating in the browser.

Thanks, I'll dig into it.

Is there any news on this? I've run into the same issue, getting Error: no such option: --identity running the googleanalytics authorize --identity myproject command on the command line. Any help appreciated.
