Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token error in cloud speech api

Question

i have followed the google cloud speech api quickstart of requesting api by using

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) \
     https://speech.googleapis.com/v1/speech:recognize \
     -d @sync-request.json

and following link but i got error of

{
  "error": {
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Request had invalid authentication credentials. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
    "status": "UNAUTHENTICATED"
  }
}

What should i do now?

Thanx in advance

Solution 1

It could be that The Application Default Credentials are not available

Try to login by running

gcloud auth application-default login

And follow the instructions, reference: gcloud auth application-default login

If you want to make sure the authentication process went well, run:

gcloud auth application-default print-access-token

You should see an access token, reference gcloud auth application-default print-access-token

Solution 2

I fixed the problem by logging out, and logging in to agree to some new terms and conditions google have made since last time I used google clouds (firebase in my case).

Solution 3

Replace $(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) with what gets printed when you call the command.
