What I’ve never been able to get a clear answer to is: how do I troubleshoot an Oauth workflow? I set up all the Oauth stuff on my end just as the documentation says, and the Google server (for example) returns an error. Now what? They don’t let me see their logs. The error message isn’t descriptive enough to know what to change. Google isn’t running an open source server where I can just spin up an instance myself to try it. The documentation seems to be out of date, or otherwise doesn’t match what I’m seeing.

This is everything I hate about using remote APIs, squared. I’ve never been able to make even the simplest example work.

I was trying to use Oauth to log in to an internal SharePoint site with VBA, and I did get some example code to work after a lot of messing around, but then it mysteriously stopped working a week later,* so I gave up and went back to scripting a browser.

*possibly because some system administrator noticed abnormal traffic and blocked it
