Adding “email” and “profile” scopes to https://code.google.com

Question

Drive SDK API configuration still points to the old form at code.google.com, and it has a problem with the new "email" and "profile" scopes we need to add instead of the deprecated ones (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email). The problem is that the console doesn't allow this format: "email" / "profile" and fails with the error message:

An unexpected error has occurred. We're looking into it.

Does anyone have a workaround for that?

Answer 1

These scopes have been deprecated for a long time and not otherwise suggested to be used even though it says that these scopes will be maintained for backward compatibility. If you still haven't done so, I'd suggest you to migrate to the profile and email scopes.
