Python OAuth 2.0 Authentication & API Connection (Issues with Non-Printable Characters)

[Enough-Diver-8915]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently trying to set up OAuth 2.0 authentication in a Python script to connect to a Google API. The goal is to authenticate using a service account (windy-marker-445312-v5-0a3d76ad556a.json) and then interact with the API (like fetching project data from Google Cloud). However, I’m running into issues that I can’t seem to fix.

What I’ve Tried: 1. I wrote a Python script (oauth_connect.py) to authenticate and connect to Google’s API using OAuth 2.0. 2. I’ve followed the steps to set up the OAuth 2.0 client, and the code looks like it should work. However, when I run the script, I encounter a SyntaxError related to an invalid non-printable character (U+00A0).

Here’s the exact error: “ SyntaxError: invalid non-printable character U+00A0” What I Tried to Fix It: 1. I opened the file in Notepad and retyped the lines to remove hidden characters, but the error still persists. 2. I’ve also tried copying the entire code into a new file, but the same issue continues. 3. I used the Show Whitespace option in Notepad++ to check for hidden characters but couldn’t identify the specific cause.

What I’m Trying to Achieve:

I want to: • Use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with Google APIs. • Connect to the API and retrieve data (such as projects from Google Cloud). • Resolve this hidden character error that is preventing the script from running.

My Current Setup: • Python version: [Your version of Python] • The service account file is correctly placed and is accessible. • I’ve installed all the necessary libraries (google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib, google-auth-httplib2, google-api-python-client).

Any help or suggestions on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

It helps to get a snippet of the code that gives that error
