I am trying to download a file from google drive using node.js. This is my first attempt to use google sdks so I just followed the instructions and copied the code from the samples. I can succesfully get the metadata from the files present in my gdrive , but whenever I am trying to download a file, it is throwing the error. Please find ahead the code snippet I am using below which is nothing but the examples provided in the documentation.

I have only tried 17-20 requests in the last hour and don't think I have used all my quotas. I have checked that the GDrive api is enabled in my project. Please help.
