Hey @fish_hatchery2! Thanks again for joining office hours the other day.
Seeing your setup here, I think I have a better understanding of what's going on. Generally speaking, the Google APIs don't support the client credentials grant type. You can implement a workaround similar to what @WidleStudioLLP described, but the caveat there is that your access_token will eventually expire. The best practice for server-to-server communication with Google APIs is to configure a service account.
