  • Select Web Application and Set the Authorized JavaScript origins (example: http://localhost), Authorized redirect URIs (example: http://localhost/googleplus/Test.aspx).
  • Click "Create Client ID" and it will create a Client ID detail.

  • Redirect URIs and Client ID need to replaced in the Test.aspx file.

ASP.Net application

In the code below, first set your Client ID and Redirect URI. I have provided an example to show the logged in username and profile image, you can use it in any other way also. In the function getUserInfo(), you can get the results as username, email and and so on.
