Can someone explain to me, why Google can't (or does not want to) implement the same auth flow that any other SaaS company uses:
# API Keys in Settings
1. Go to Settings -> API Keys Page
2. Create Token (set scope and expiration date)
# OAuth flow
1. `gws login` shows url to visit
2. Login with Google profile & select data you want to share
3. Redirect to localhost page confirms authentication
I get that I need to configure Project and OAuth screens if I want to develop an Applications for other users, that uses GCP services. This is fine. But I am trying to access my own data over a (/another) HTTP API. This should not be hard.
