I'm getting the following error when trying to download files from my Google Drive folder using JavaScript.
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
"message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup.",
"extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup."
}
}
I'm using googleapis library, version v3 with OAuth2 authorization.
My function downloads most of the files correctly but throws an error on some specific ones each time I run it.
The library itself prints cannotDownloadAbusiveFile error in the console but the response link shows the error above.
The acknowledgeAbuse flag is set to true. The files that this method refuses to download can't be downloaded from the web-interface either because of the viruses.
I tried changing the Google Drive user in OAuth2 to the creator of the files (it was just someone who has access before), it didn't fix anything.
Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded.
Means there is an issue with your authorization at some point you are sending a request with either a missing access token or an expired one.
As for cannotDownloadAbusiveFile you can set a flag in your request it should be one of the optional parameter's. acknowledgeAbuse='true' this will allow you to download files that Google has denoted as unsafe. If it contains malware though from what i recall only the owner can download that.

I am simply trying out curl examples from the GDrive API Explorer, specifically this call:
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/reference/files/list
However when I copy the example and execute it with my API key, I get this error:
curl https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files?key=AIzaSyCQfFNMxHVJRaTvXXXXXXXXXX
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "insufficientFilePermissions",
"message": "The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file."
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "The user does not have sufficient permissions for this file."
}
}
When I try to get a single file using files/{fileId} with the same API key, it works fine and the file metadata is returned.
What is the deal here? Does listing require special permissions, or does API keys have limitations, or..?
Just a hunch, you are trying a file that is not public, that is why you are receiving 403:insufficientFilePermissions. To access this you must authenticate your request using OAuth 2.0.
You can check the documentation About Authorization:
Your application must use OAuth 2.0 to authorize requests. No other
authorization protocols are supported. If your application uses Google
Sign-In, some aspects of authorization are handled for you.
I am using Google Maps APIs for business to get location against Cell IDs and MAC addresses of WiFi access point.
That code was working fine on beta server. Now as I moved to production server, I am getting following response
{ "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "usageLimits", "reason": "accessNotConfigured", "message": "Access Not Configured. Please use Google Developers Console to activate the API for your project." } ], "code": 403, "message": "Access Not Configured. Please use Google Developers Console to activate the API for your project." } }
In console, Beta server IP was added in allowed IPs. I have added production server IP as well. Still getting above response.
Do I need to generate new key after change in allowed IPs or any other change?
The message is self-explaining activate the API for your project
Go to the console, select the desired project(when you have multiple projects), go to APIs & auth ->API's and activate the service Google Maps Geolocation API
Suddenly today requests from my service attempting to insert a file into Google drive via the Drive API started to receive a 400 error. The error indicates that a registered app is required, full error below. An application was already registered in my Google Cloud console, however the applications name did not match the application name that was used by my service. I renamed the services application name, however the error continues.
400 Bad Request
{
"code": 400,
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"message": "Registered app required, either through authentication token or key param.",
"reason": "required"
}
],
"message": "Registered app required, either through authentication token or key param."
}
Is there something else that needs to be setup, or could this be a delay in the renaming of the service?
EDIT: I'm able to list, update and download files however I cannot insert.
This same issue just started to happen to us today - and we made no changes. I (think I) submitted a bug report to Google about this. Will keep digging..
UPDATE: I created a new project with private key and client ID/email and I get the same error with this new project as well. This appears to be some bug with Google Drive API service.
It happens today on my app too. I guess their service is having problem today
I am getting an error message when trying to use the Google Drive API to get a file. Using Python, the line that causes error is:
file = service.files().get(fileId=googleDriveFileId).execute()
The error message is:
HttpError: <HttpError 404 when requesting
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/0B6Cpn8NXwgGPSE8zQW10XzJMc0k?alt=json returned
"File not found: 0B6Cpn8NXwgGPSE8zQW10XzJMc0k">
Basically saying "File not found"
However, if I put the URL being requested into browser, I get a different error message:
https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/0B6Cpn8NXwgGPSE8zQW10XzJMc0k
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
"message": "Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up",
"extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Daily Limit Exceeded. Please sign up"
}
}
Neither of these error messages seem correct to me. I know the file is there. Here is a working link to the same file retrieved from "Share Link" in the Google Drive UI:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6Cpn8NXwgGPSE8zQW10XzJMc0k
I have also checked the Quota reports in the api console, and we are at 0% usage.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks
I had similar errors following the python quickstart.
It turned out I had correctly created an API key etc, however had missed step 2:
Select the Services tab in your API project, and enable the Drive API.
Having used the API before I skipped along and missed this crucial point.
Both of the error messages did not have accurate info. The problem was related to permissions. I was using Google Picker to upload the files in question, but these files were not automatically available to the API because of permissions. I thought they would be according to documentation.
I solved problem by setting the permissions for the folder the images are being uploaded to for "Public" using the Google Drive UI. Now my app has permission to access the uploaded files.
While setting files permission to "Public" is okay in my case, as these files are meant to be public, I know this would not be acceptable in all cases. Can someone please shed light on how to handle this problem.... so that files uploaded with Google Picker automatically have the permission to be accessed by the API without setting folder permissions to "Public"?
The messages were accurate.
In the first case, because you don't have permission, Google gives a file not found. This is a standard security measure, rather than leak information by confirming the file exists.
In the second case, you called the API without an Authentication Header, so Google treats you as an unregistered and unauthorised app, which for some Google APIs is OK, up to a a daily quota. In the case of Drive, that daily quota is zero.
I agree it's not intuitive, and I'm sure many developer man years have been wasted (mine included), but it is accurate.
To answer your question about why the uploaded file is inaccessible, check that you have requested the correct scope, and that you are using the correct client id and mime type when doing the upload.
I'm having an issue using Google Drive using Ruby.
I can create an OAuth2 client and start making authenticated calls.
I have to query the Google Documents List first in order to fetch a list of files, once I have the file IDs I try to query the Google Drive API like this:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v1/files/0B9N873iFyYR7MkRfeTAxxxxxxx?access_token=ya29.AHES6ZRckKZ2jZfC6risUtH9ZZxxxxxxxxx
However I'm getting this:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "appNotInstalled",
"message": "The authenticated user has not installed the app with client id xxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "The authenticated user has not installed the app with client id xxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com"
}
}
This client id refers to an application I created via Google API Dashboard, not the Chrome Web Store.
Anyway I tried to setup a hosted Chrome Web App, configured (and paid) everything to allow a list of test users, but still I get the same error message although the app is installed correctly from the market (not local copy).
With the same client and credentials I'm able to call https://docs.google.com/feeds/ endpoints but not drive ones.
My scopes are rather complete: 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/,https://docs.googleusercontent.com/,https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/,http://gdata.youtube.com,plus.me,drive.file,userinfo.email,userinfo.profile'(don't look at the format, it gets fixed automatically afterwards) and they works well.
I'm not using the Drive UI, I just want to use server-side APIs. Thanks for any hints.
Have you set the "api_console_project_id" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxx" argument in your manifest ?
An example is provided here: manifest.json
