Google Slides Error

Question

I am new to Google Slides API.

I followed the steps in their QuickStart example at https://developers.google.com/slides/quickstart/java and that runs fine.

I am now trying to create a presentation by following the steps at https://developers.google.com/slides/how-tos/presentations and getting the following error when running the code.

com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 403 Forbidden
{
  "code" : 403,
  "errors" : [ {
    "domain" : "global",
    "message" : "Request had insufficient authentication scopes.",
    "reason" : "forbidden"
  } ],
  "message" : "Request had insufficient authentication scopes.",
  "status" : "PERMISSION_DENIED"
}

    at com.google.api.client.googleapis.services.AbstractGoogleClientRequest.execute(AbstractGoogleClientRequest.java:469)

This occurs when I try to create the presentation. Any ideas how to resolve this?

All the best

Notice this part of the documentation.

You can also create a blank presentation using the Google Drive API Files.create method, specifying application/vnd.google-apps.presentation as the mimeType. You'll need an appropriate Drive API scope to authorize this call. You'll need an appropriate Drive API scope to authorize this call.
