Failed to fetch user profile

The passport-google-oauth module began failing earlier this month. The actual authentication seems to work, but the follow-up request for the user’s profile fails with the following error:

failed to fetch user profile (status: 401 data:

{
  "error": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "domain": "global",
        "reason": "authError",
        "message": "Invalid Credentials",
        "locationType": "header",
        "location": "Authorization"
      }
    ],
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Invalid Credentials"
  }
}

)

I have recreated a new OAuth key/secret via the Google developer console, no change in the outcome.

Go to google developer console and enable the Google+ api

I had this error too - passport uses the google plus API which isn’t available for google apps for enterprise.

You can fix by monkey patching:

GoogleStrategy.prototype.userProfile = function(token, done) {
  done(null, {})
}
