Hello!

Working on our connection in Search Console, I think there’s must be something wrong with the oAuth client that I’m making. I get this error:

Probably has to do something with the client that I made but I do not see the error? Would you mind taking a look?

Hi Kuba  
Could solve the problem with the json file but I get another one when selecting the property

![Schermafbeelding 2023-01-17 om 15.03.07](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/piwikpro/original/2X/9/9fbb48c0a19232e58cb0798f584bda91979d7f72.png)

@kuba After 3 days I still get the error complaining about server communication. Is this is a common issue?

For @jurgen.vandevelde and/or anybody else reading this and still trying to solve this issue: we had the same error in one of our accounts and managed to get it working.

In our case, the **Google Search Console API in Google Cloud was not yet set to “enabled”**. You can find this here: [Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/google/searchconsole.googleapis.com)

After enabling we could select a GSC-property to link without any problems.
