Setup Guide

​
1. Create Google OAuth Credentials

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a new project or select an existing one
  3. Enable the Google+ API
  4. Navigate to Credentials → Create Credentials → OAuth client ID
  5. Choose Web application

​
2. Configure Authorized Redirect URIs

Add the following redirect URIs to your OAuth client: For Development: 
http://localhost:3000/auth/google/callback
For Production: 
https://your-domain.com/auth/google/callback
The redirect URI must match exactly, including protocol (http/https) and port. Trailing slashes matter!

​
3. Get Your Credentials

  1. After creating the OAuth client, you’ll see a modal with your credentials
  2. Copy the Client ID (ends with .apps.googleusercontent.com)
  3. Copy the Client Secret (starts with GOCSPX-)
  4. Store these securely - never commit them to version control

​
4. Configure Environment Variables

export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=123456789-abcdefg.apps.googleusercontent.com
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=GOCSPX-your_client_secret_here
