I'm trying to run quickstart.py for the Google Drive Python API and I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    raise ValueError(
ValueError: Authorized user info was not in the expected format, missing fields client_id, client_secret, refresh_token.

Process finished with exit code 1

Code:

from __future__ import print_function

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials

# If modifying these scopes, delete the file token.json.
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly']

def main():
    """Shows basic usage of the Drive v3 API.
    Prints the names and ids of the first 10 files the user has access to.
    """
    creds = None
    # The file token.json stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
    # created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
    # time.
    if os.path.exists('token.json'):
        creds = Credentials.from_authorized_user_file('token.json', SCOPES)
    # If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
    if not creds or not creds.valid:
        if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:

        with open('token.json', 'w') as token:

    results = service.files().list(
        pageSize=10, fields="nextPageToken, files(id, name)").execute()

Edit your xx.json file to the format below:

{
    "project_id":"xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token", 
    "client_id":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "client_secret":"xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"xxxxxxxxxxx",
    "redirect_uris":["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","xxxxxxxxxx"]
}

I ran into the same issue. What I did was to make use of service account so that my script can have access to the drive.

from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials

credentials = Credentials.from_service_account_file(
            filename=service_account_file_path,
            scopes=SCOPES
        )
drive = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=credentials)
results = drive.files().list().execute()
files = results.get('files', [])
