## Obtaining Credentials

Before you can integrate this service with your Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, you must have a Google API Console project:

* Select or create a GCP project. [link](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager)
* Make sure that billing is enabled for your project. [link](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project)
* Enable the Cloud Text-to-Speech API. [link](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard)
* Set up authentication:
* Go to the "APIs & Services" -> "Credentials" page in the GCP Console and your project. [link](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
* From the "Create credentials" drop-down list, select "OAuth client ID".
* Select application type "Web application" and enter a name into the "Name" field.
* Add "https://www.google.com" to the "Authorized redirect URIs".
* Click Create. A pop-up appears, showing your "client ID" and "client secret".
1. Select or create a Google Cloud project ([link](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloud-resource-manager))
2. Make sure that billing is enabled for your project ([link](https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/modify-project))
3. Enable the `Text-to-Speech API` ([link](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/dashboard))
* Don't mistake with the `Speech-to-Text API`
4. Set up authentication:
1. Go to the `APIs & Services` -> `Credentials` page in the GCP Console and your project ([link](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials))
2. From the `Create credentials` drop-down list, select `OAuth client ID`.
3. Select application type `Web application` and enter a name into the `Name` (e.g. `OpenHAB TTS`) field.
4. Add `https://www.google.com` to the `Authorized redirect URIs`.
* Watch out for trailing spaces in the URL! E.g. when using the copy url feature in the context menu of Google Chrome it appends a slash (`https://www.google.com` becomes `https://www.google.com`) and the steps afterwards fail.
5. Click Create. A pop-up appears, showing your "client ID" and "client secret".

After your browser has been redirected to https://www.google.com, the authorization code will be set in the browser URL as value of the "code" URL query parameter.
After initial authorization, this code is not needed anymore.
It is recommended to clear this configuration parameter afterwards.
1. Go to `OAuth consent screen` ([link](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent)) and set the `publishing status` to `production` to activate the created project.
2. Wait a few minutes. The step before takes some time to go live. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a few hours, so you can try after some minutes, if it doesn't work, try again the next day.
3. Go to your browser and access the following URL to generate an authorization code
