 * I’d like to have custom API credentials when using the plugin. Do I need to use
   oAuth? If so, what application type should be selected?

 * Hi,
 * Select _API & Services -> Credentials_. Choose _Create Credentials -> oAuth Client
   ID_. In the following screen select _Other_ as application type. A client secret
   and client id will be generated. These are the credentials you will use to setup
   the plugin.
