Firebase Management API projects.addFirebase permission denied - android

Problem: Firebase Management API method projects.addFirebase returns status code 403
Steps to recreate:
In an Android application I need to create separate Firebase Accounts for Realtime Database. For this purpose I authenticate users with GoogleSignIn.
Then I retrieve token with proper scope "oauth2:https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform".
In next step I use GCP Resource Manager API to create a new GCP project, which will be a container for Firebase project.
The new project is created successfully on each of the test accounts.
When I try to call Firebase Management API method projects.addFirebase using the same token I got earlier (same scope) I get error "The caller does not have permission". This error occurs on 3 out of 4 accounts I have tried.
I was able to reproduce same error also using google-apis-explorer. Apis Explorer
I will be grateful for any hints on how to resolve this issue. As I mentioned earlier this error does not occur on one of the accounts I tested, while on the remaining three it happens every time.
Thank you.
Update
#Doug thank you for taking time to look at my problem. It seems that I have found the cause. After accessing https://console.firebase.google.com and clicking "Add a project" a following popup showed up (I can't paste it directly, because my reputation is too low):
Popup link
After I checked all consents and added first project I am also able to make api calls successfully.
It looks like I my question should be: Is there a way to grant required permissions through Resource Manager Api calls so I can add Firebase to existing Cloud Project?
Also for the reference I paste the method I use to call projects.addFirebase, it uses RxJava2 (Android) and Retrofit2.
#Headers({"Content-Type: application/json"})
#POST("projects/{project}:addFirebase")
Single<Operation> addFirebaseToProject(#Header("Authorization") String bearerToken,
#Path("project") String project,
#Body FirebaseDataModel dataModel
);
Thank you for your help.
Ps. sorry for my bad English, it's not my mother tongue.

Leaked GCP API Keys : Your app contains exposed Google Cloud Platform (GCP) API keys. Please see this Google Help Center article for details

I am getting this error from Play Store:
I tried to limit the access of API key within that file but still getting this error. How can I solve this?
Make sure that keys are not leaked via sites such as GitHub.
Notice the message wording "Your app contains exposed ...". That message did not say your app is exposing the keys.
You will need to delete the key and create a new key, update your app, etc.
Delete current key and create new one. Also make sure you apply restrictions like HTTP referrers, IP Address restrictions etc. based on your use case. For more info, check this
https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys#api_key_restrictions
The error is due to the API key being included in your source code. Consider using Google's Secrets Gradle Plugin for Android to hide your API keys from source code. Documentation at https://github.com/google/secrets-gradle-plugin and demo by the author at https://youtu.be/X8lYNW_Or2o

Firebase authentification works but I get error when using the Google Text to Speech API

I've set up a small android and firebase app... Authentification works like a charm, and in the firebase console, I can see my user, logged in with the Google account.
Now I am trying to experiment a little with the Text to Speech api, and in doing so, I followed this tutorial:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/tree/master/texttospeech/cloud-client
I managed to make the small java app work, by setting the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS Environment variable (I followed this tutorial for this step: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started), but I am not sure what I need to do to make that code work in the Android app where the users are authentificated..
The Error that I get when trying to make a call to the TextToSpeech API is:
The Application Default Credentials are not available. They are
available if running in Google Compute Engine. Otherwise, the
environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be defined
pointing to a file defining the credentials. See
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials
for more information.
The error mentioned comes from the line:
TextToSpeechClient textToSpeechClient = TextToSpeechClient.create();
This error appears because of the fact that on the android emulator I don't have access to the credentials that are set as environment variable in my OS..So I have to provide the credentials in another way.
In the case of other Google APIs, like Storage, I found out that this can be done like this:
// You can specify a credential file by providing a path to GoogleCredentials.
// Otherwise credentials are read from the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.
GoogleCredentials credentials = GoogleCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream(jsonPath))
.createScoped(Lists.newArrayList("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"));
Storage storage = StorageOptions.newBuilder().setCredentials(credentials).build().getService();
I managed to create the GoogleCredentials object with the contents of the json file, however the TextToSpeech client doesn't seem to provide a functionality similar to this:
StorageOptions.newBuilder().setCredentials(credentials).build()
So my question is....is there a way to provide the Credentials object to the TextToSpeech client?
Thanks
Currently, there is not a way to provide credentials to the TTS Client from this page.
Due to Security / Auth reasons, I believe the best suggested approach is to use Firebase Functions.
Get the Text
Call Firebase Functions
Have Firebase Functions call the TTS API
Return the results.
This way, no keys are leaked inside the application and you can use Firebase Auth.
Let me know if that helps!
Update:
Option 2: iOS Tutorial (should be adaptable to Android)
Get the Text
Call Firebase Functions
Have Firebase Functions return an OAuth2 Token
Use the token directly with the API

What is the APP­KEY in Truecaller API?

I need to verify the spam score of mobile numbers using Truecaller API .I found documentation here . In the API URL , I need to send a APPKEY , But how to get that ? there is no registration page for Truecaller API .
https://api.truecaller.com/v1.0/search.json?userKey=APP­KEY&phone=NUMBER
Any help will be appreciated...
You should Read this Document for Name Search API
it Says that....
The one thing to keep in mind is that all requests to our API require
authentication. For that, you will need to use a User Key (userKey)
along with your requests. These access details basically associate,
your server, script or program with a specific application. All
requests to the API must be made over SSL (https:// not http://).
It means you have registered Truecaller developer account then Do Login and get your Access Key(USER KEY) and pass it everytime you request to access API..
But I Think Truecaller API is not accessible for public users...
Read This Article for More Details : http://www.3scale.net/2013/05/truecaller-api-search-among-over-600-million-phone-numbers-worldwide/
Why don't you try this?
callerpy
Here is the explanation from the developer:
Truecaller Name Retriever.
Since my request for the API was rejected, I commenced using python parsing libraries.
Callerpy emulates the process one would encounter if using a web-browser.
I tried it, and it works like a charm from the command line.

I keep getting Validation Error: client_id provided in the request does not match any of the registered clients

This is driving me MAAAADDDD
I'm trying to implement "Log In With PayPal" on Android.
I'm using this sample app to try to get the login screen to show up. https://github.com/SeraphimSerapis/PayPal-Access-Android-Example
I have created an app on the https://devportal.x.com/ website as instructed, I just want to use OAuth 2.0, I did all the settings, no luck.
Also, followed the answer in here https://stackoverflow.com/a/16199165/546439 i.e. created a seller account on developers.paypal and clearly chosen login with paypal access and credentials etc, still no luck
I don't even know whether I should get the credentials from x.com or paypal.com, each of them give the same options but they return different keys, I am so lost.
Please help.
UPDATE: added auth URL I am sending
all of these are not working
https://identity.x.com/xidentity/resources/authorize?client_id=AXbPkxDchMYBBAWn2UExvLytvvbJDDXn6u-9nWNgF_J7SZmwQkdDTwxHkuKe&scope=https://identity.x.com/xidentity/resources/profile/me&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Faccess.com%2Findex.php&response_type=code

This error meaning that you are sending wrong client_Id "or not sending it" within the URI asking for token which is sent to authorize URL /authorize?client_id={client_id}, please share your URI to check it.
client_id string Unique client identifier obtained through the
application registration process. Required.
from https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/
I stumpled across a similar problem. I already hat an REST app running and tried to implement PayPal Login. Everytime I tried to use the sandbox client_id I got the same error message as you.
Took me some time to figure out, that, in my own stupidity, I tried to call
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
instead of
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webapps/auth/protocol/openidconnect/v1/authorize
Now everything works for me
I had faced the same issue, I know this is a old issue and my solution may not be of much help. But I felt like sharing my fix.
I use devise for authentication and I wanted to implement PayPal login.
I configured omniauth for paypal inside config/initializers/devise.rb file. But by default the authentication path was "https://www.paypal.com/". As #Ello mentioned in his answer we need "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/" url path for sandbox.
Then I figured out that we can change the url path to sandbox by passing sandbox as true in omniauth configuration.
So this is what I did in devise config file to resolve the issue
config.omniauth :paypal, PAYPAL_CLIENT_ID, PAYPAL_APP_SECRET, scope: PAYPAL_PERMISSIONS, sandbox: true

ACRA formkey where to get it?

So I tried to follow instructions of https://github.com/ACRA/acra/wiki/BasicSetup but its too old or something.
Using my own gmail account I did import the csv file but there is no option "Create a LEGACY Form" in tools menu but only "Create form". If I create a form there are no fields of imported csv file (like I can see on screenshot in BasicSetup document) but it prompts to add fields manually using "Add item". And there is no any formkey around. The http link of form is looks like: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KNF_R4_Re0X0giFfEXwqXY50mpnFvQUvp0NLkKxyI/edit# or if I choose "view live form" it is https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KNF_R4_Re0X0giFfEXwqXY50mpnFvQUvp0NLkKxyI/viewform As you can see there is no formkey included.
So the question is there I can find that fomkey now?
As the use of Google Docs is deprecated for ACRA I recommend you to use BugSense as your Back-End service:
1. Go to their site and sign in: http://www.bugsense.com/
2. Create a new project to monitor in BugSense site, as a result you will receive an API Key for this application.
3. Finally add this line to you Application class in you project:
#ReportsCrashes(formUri = "http://www.bugsense.com/api/acra?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY", formKey="")
You can also check this blog post I wrote on:
Crash Reports and Usage Monitoring
Google spreadsheets are not supported on ACRA. Use a third party provider like BugSense instead or write your own error collector.
I have tried ACRA with my custom domain which handled by google and at that time i could not found any option to create to
Create a LEGACY Form
then after i have tried with my personal gmail account and its works .
so i came to conclusion is that :
ACRA dose not support Third party domain even-though they provided
google .
