Unable to authenticate with simple login(?)

[cboettig]

The simple login throws an error I don't understand:

Garb::Session.login("myuser", "mypassword")

Garb::AuthenticationRequest::AuthError: Garb::AuthenticationRequest::AuthError
    from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/garb-0.9.1/lib/garb/authentication_request.rb:37:in `block in send_request'

    from (irb):3

any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

[Sija]

Seems like bad credentials, but it might be a problem with the library itself.
Try my fork, i just checked and it (still) works!

[cboettig]

Um, perhaps this is caused by me having the 2-step authentication configured for Google? Have you tested this function when 2-step authentication is active?

[Sija]

Did you set Garb.api_key (obtainable from Google APIs Console) ?
More here and here.

[cboettig]

Ah, that must be it. But not recognizing the Garb.api_key function.

irb(main):017:0> Garb.api_key
NoMethodError: undefined method `api_key' for Garb:Module

[Sija]

Try using my fork as this one is, you could say… slightly dated ;)

[cboettig]

I'm a bit rusty on manual gem install from source, I've just been using
sudo gem install. I clone your repo and run bundle install there?

There's good howto over at invaluable SO — http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2577346/how-to-install-gem-from-github-source

[adamthedeveloper]

Thanks Sija for continuing to support this Gem. I was able to get the Api key to work. I was getting the error:

Garb::DataRequest::ClientError: "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><errors xmlns=\"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005\"><error><domain>usageLimits</domain><code>userRateLimitExceededUnreg</code><internalReason>User Rate Limit Exceeded. Please sign up</internalReason><extendedHelp>https://code.google.com/apis/console</extendedHelp></error></errors>"

If anyone else is getting this, you need to first install Sija's fork of this gem:

# Inside Gemfile
gem 'garb', :git => "git://github.com/Sija/garb.git"

Follow this with

bundle update

Next, set your api key like this:

Garb::Session.api_key = 'your_api_key'
Garb::Session.login(username, password)

After that, the error I was getting above went away.

I am a big fan of "hold my hand" sometimes - sorry if there are too many details here - but the documentation isn't great.

[cboettig]

Thanks! Got the 0.9.5 version installed from Sija's gem, and entered the api key, but I'm still getting stuck on the Garb::Session.login step.

Error trace isn't particularly helpful:

Garb::AuthError: Garb::AuthError

thanks again for any suggestions on how to debug this.

@cboettig It seems you provided wrong credentials.
Ensure that provided password/api_key are correct.
I just checked from console and it works.

[cboettig]

Just to make sure, the key I want is the one from
https://code.google.com/apis/console/ where it says:

Simple API Access

data. Learn more http://code.google.com/apis/console-help/#UsingKeys

Got the same error that's make me crazy, did you found any solution ?
I spend two hours to test every solutions found on internet withou success

[cboettig]

Are you using sija's fork? That worked for me once I entered the Ali key.
I never got it working on my Google account that has the two step (text
msg) authentication. Instead I created a second fight account with one
step sub and then shared the Analytics report with that account.

[antho1404]

Thx for the answer, I tested sija's fork but with my personnal Google account, I will also try to create a "fake" account and I will pray ;)

[mavericreal]

It didn't work with the two step authentication but worked fine with a new account.

[analyticsPierce]

You need to add the application in the two-step security setup in Google
first. Log into your Google account and go to security. Go through the
steps to add a new application and it will generate a new password just
for that.

Good luck.
