Follow the “Learn More” link and join the “risky app” group. Mine started working immediately after that. - This reply was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by [randybiehl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randybiehl/). * [Pam Blizzard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pdblizzard/) * (@pdblizzard) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_scope/#post-9137450) * Thank you [@randybiehl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randybiehl/) – hopefully the developer can update his docs, or get Google to see the app as not risky. * [Bekah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thehappyones/) * (@thehappyones) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_scope/#post-9142715) * Thanks for this!

You need to join a “Risky Apps” group to enable the API?!

Reason: email * [A leaf in the wind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mszczubl/) * (@mszczubl) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_scope/#post-9224827) * The “Risky Apps” group does still exist. I just joined it. Through that “Learn More” link, it explains that Google is verifying and authorizing API developers in order to protect users. But Google also explains that there are certain cases where this verification and authorization is not necessary. And for that they have the risky apps group.
