# How to get Client ID and Client Secret in Google Cloud Console
To get a **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, you must create **OAuth 2.0 credentials** within a project in the Google Cloud Console. The process involves setting up an OAuth consent screen and then generating the credentials for a specific application type.
#### Step-by-Step Guide
1. **Go to the Google Cloud Console**
* Navigate to the Google Cloud Console and sign in with your Google account.
* Select an existing project from the top menu, or create a new one if needed.
2. **Enable the Necessary API**
* In the left-hand navigation menu, go to **APIs & Services** > **Library**.
* Search for the API you need (e.g., "Google Sheets API," "Gmail API") and click on it.
* Click the **Enable** button to activate the API for your project.
3. **Configure the OAuth Consent Screen**
* In the left menu, go to **APIs & Services** > **OAuth consent screen**.
* Select the **User type** (usually **External** unless you are a Google Workspace organization user) and click **Create**.
* Fill in the required "App information," including the **App name**, **User support email**, and **Developer contact information**.
* Click **Save and Continue** through the "Scopes" and "Summary" sections (you can define scopes later if needed).
4. **Create the OAuth Client ID and Secret**
* In the left menu, go to **APIs & Services** > **Credentials**.
* Click the **+ CREATE CREDENTIALS** button at the top and select **OAuth client ID** from the dropdown menu.
* Select the appropriate **Application type** for your use case: **Web application**.
* Provide a **Name** for your client ID (this is only for your reference within the console).
* You need to add **Authorized redirect URIs:** [**https://cf.storeify.app/oauth/callback**](https://cf.storeify.app/oauth/callback)
* Click **Create**.
**Retrieve the Client ID and Client Secret**
A pop-up window will display your generated **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Copy these values and store the **Client Secret** securely, as it should be treated like a password.
You can revisit and view these credentials anytime from the Credentials page in the Google Cloud Console by clicking on the name of the client you created.
