# API Key

 * We need to use our own API Project credentials, yet the General Settings have
   different settings than what we are given in Google Analytics. I can do OAuth
   which gives me a client id, email address, and client secret and then I need 
   to set the redirect uris which you do not have instructions for. If I do the 
   Public API access it only gives me a key and not client id and client secret.
   If I combine the two I still get a redirect url problem. I do a Get Access Code
   and get this error “Error: redirect_uri_mismatch”
 * Im not sure if google analytics changed how things works or Im missing something.
   Any help would be appreciated! thanks!

 * Looks like I needed to make it an application type instead of website type. Im
   still unsure about the api key, maybe I could have not entered the key and it
   still would have been fine. Anyways there you go incase someone else is having
   this issue.

 * On my youtube channel there’s an older video about that, but the settings are
   the same.
