Error: Can't get Google credentials.

[stratsheets]

When using RStudio, package googlesheets4 I now receive this error message.

'Error in gs4_auth():
! Can't get Google credentials.
ℹ Are you running googlesheets4 in a non-interactive session? Consider:
• Call gs4_deauth() to prevent the attempt to get credentials.
• Call gs4_auth() directly with all necessary specifics.

I use this R script frequently and this was working perfectly for me one week ago. I have read similar posts in the past but so far I've had no luck resolving the problem.

Since receiving this error I have only been able to open the browser once using gs4_auth() and a Google error message appeared: Access blocked: Tidyverse API Packages request is invalid.

Has something changed with Google's security lately or has anyone else experienced this error today?

It's hard to say and I don't have other reports. From my own recent experiments, I saw this when I tried to use an OAuth client with the "web" type, but then I forgot to set oob = TRUE in gs4_auth(). Are you still having problems?
