The Client ID and Client Secret
The Client ID serves as a public identifier for your application, while the Client Secret is a confidential key that should only be used to authenticate your application and make requests to the API.

1. Creating the Credential to Obtain the Client ID and Secret

   • From the main page of the Google Cloud Console, click on Credentials in the left-side menu.
   • Select + Create Credentials and then choose OAuth client ID.
   
   

2. Specify Application Type

   • Choose the type of application. Since this setup is for Gmail, select Web application.
