Error: invalid_request device_id and device_name are required for private IP

Question

I was doing my development with Google Drive API using [localhost:8080]. Suddenly I felt to test it in my local deployment sandbox and it has IP address as [192.168.1.1:8080

Answer 1

I got the same error until I changed it from an IP address to a domain name, (192.168.1.113 to localhost in my case) so it looks like Google won't accept bare IP addresses.

Use a domain name for your sandbox, or setup a local domain server if you don't have one.
