# Create OAuth Credentials

The OAuth credentials are needed to grant the application access to the resources it is going to use. When created you will need to copy the clientid and client secret to the clipboard for entry into the Homey Nest SDM app.

{% endhint %}

{% embed url="<https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Select <mark style="background-color:blue;">Web Application</mark> as Application Type and provide a <mark style="background-color:blue;">Name</mark> for the credentials. The last thing you need to do is add a URI to the <mark style="background-color:blue;">Authorized redirect URIs</mark> at the bottom of the window. This URI should be on your clipboard already, just paste it.&#x20;

Otherwise it is "<mark style="background-color:blue;"><https://callback.athom.com/oauth2/callback></mark>" do not copy any spaces or quotes into the field.
