Hello guys,

1st post here! YAY :)

Im Really NOOB with API'S and cant get any Working code that helps :( I dont ask much, just for community support and direction :P

To the point, Im struggling with Googles API. all i want is the code to work and im stuck now for 4 days on a piece of code that I got from google. Im using the GMAIL API reason why is I really want to pull the User info (Name,Surname,Age and Email) from the gmail address that the user types in. but also I want to use the API to write emails in the program that im writing (if the user as any queries) Baby steps 1st.

Im running the following code in Python :
Link to the code https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python#step_3_set_up_the_sample

And im using the following scopes :https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile

instead of this scope in the code below https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly&#39

But the problem is if i run it it gives me the following problems.....
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Gmail API intergration/quickstart.py", line 76, in <module>
main()
File "C:/Users//Gmail API intergration/quickstart.py", line 64, in main

Now im sitting here and pulling my grey hairs out because they are getting more and more by each day... :(

I have looked at this code but... its not working for me. used the

https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground

And im getting what i need there with the scopes im using.. but otherwise no luck

Please can someone point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Faz

What I have tried:

I have tried google changing the code getting other code, using G+ API, but same thing happens..
