  3. Select the Credentials tab, click the Create credentials button and select OAuth client ID. Select "Web application"
  4. Insert the base url of your project as the authorized JavaScript origin. Also insert xenonmolecule.github.io, so you can complete step 3
  5. Insert where you want oauth to take the user upon authorization into the redirect URIs field
  6. Select "Create Client ID"
  7. Take note of your newly created client ID, you will need it for the third & fourth step.

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/api.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/realtime/realtime-client-utils.js"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://xenonmolecule.github.io/BASE95/BASE95.js"></script>
<script src="YOUR-JS-FILE"></script>

then, insert this into the body

<div id="BASE95">
</div>

and insert this somewhere you want a button to authorize users

<button id="auth_button">Authorize</button>

Step 3: Create BASE95 workspace on google docs
