Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/dashboard and accept current rules.

Last step on this website is download source with your credentials in *Json format.
Now you received a file named client_id.json, it's how it look in Sublime Text:
5. Coding.
Now we need to call a some function to get access code.
#include <oAuth.au3>
Local $sClientId = "167204758184-vpeues0uk6b0g4jrnv0ipq5fapoig2v8.apps.googleusercontent.com"
Local $sRedirectUri = "http://localhost"
oAuth2GetAuthorizationCode($sClientId, $sRedirectUri)
Function will execute default browser for ask you to permission.
Next Google ask you to permission for access to your personal details by application Autoit
Now you can thing is something wrong but all is ok, you need to copy all after code= . It your access code.
Let's now ask Google about our Access Token and Refresh Token
#include <oAuth.au3>
Local $sClientId = "167204758184-vpeues0uk6b0g4jrnv0ipq5fapoig2v8.apps.googleusercontent.com"
Local $sClientSecret = "cWalvFr3WxiE6cjUkdmKEPo8"
Local $sAuthorizationCode = "4/AAAPXJOZ-Tz0s6mrx7JbV6nthXSfcxaszFh_aH0azVqHkSHkfiwE8uamcabn4eMbEWg1eAuUw7AU0PQ0XeWUFRo#"
Local $sRedirectUri = "http://localhost"
Local $aRet = oAuth2GetAccessToken($sClientId, $sClientSecret, $sAuthorizationCode, $sRedirectUri)
If Ubound($aRet) <> 4 then
ConsoleWrite("+++ Something wrong with reading ResponseText." & @CRLF)
Exit
EndIf
ConsoleWrite("Successfully received data from Google." & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("access_token: " & $aRet[0] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("expires_in: " & $aRet[1] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("refresh_token: " & $aRet[2] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("token_type: " & $aRet[3] & @CRLF)
Important! When you received error 400 and output says: Invalid grant it means that your previous generated access_code lost validity and you need to generate new calling previus code.
When everything is fine you should received a 4 informations about your: access_token, expires_in, refresh_token and token_type.
Access_Token time is a little short so you need to know fuction possible to refresh it (tell Google that he should generate a new Token for you)
#include <oAuth.au3>
Local $sRefreshToken = "1/ba8JpW7TjQH3-UI1BvPaXhSf-oTQ4BmZAbBfhcKgKfY"
Local $sClientId = "167204758184-vpeues0uk6b0g4jrnv0ipq5fapoig2v8.apps.googleusercontent.com"
Local $sClientSecret = "cWalvFr3WxiE6cjUkdmKEPo8"
Local $sRedirectUri = "http://localhost"
Local $aRet = oAuth2RefreshAccessToken($sRefreshToken, $sClientId, $sClientSecret)
If Ubound($aRet) <> 3 then
ConsoleWrite("+++ Something wrong with reading ResponseText." & @CRLF)
Exit
EndIf
ConsoleWrite("Successfully received data from Google." & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("access_token: " & $aRet[0] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("expires_in: " & $aRet[1] & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("token_type: " & $aRet[2] & @CRLF)
6. Finish words
If you followed all this above steps im sure that you received all informations required for coding your Google API (Gmail, Dropbox, YouTube, Calender etc.
