node authenticate.js localhost error

[Zamy97]

hello!

A newbie here so a bit of help would be appreciated

Been trying to implement this module but can't seem to get over this hurdle. I did get the credential.json in my module folder then I run node authenticate.js and then I get a link to run and get the code and every time I run the link I am running into this:

This site can’t be reached localhost refused to connect.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

I cleared the cache, firewall on/off and proxy, and things but it still seems to not be working!

Any help please

Hey, not sure if this will be helpful since you posted so long ago but I ran into that as well. However, even though you get that screen the code that you need to complete authentication is populated in the URL of the page. You can just copy that and it should allow the authentication to complete.

I can confirm this works, I had trouble with this earlier this year. Copy everything after ...code= in the url.
