If you have your own key, you can just use google instead of google drive.

Google drive has advantages likes being free. But it is a bit complicated to configure. If you do not publish the app, the token generated is only valid for 7 days.

The default url of google drive uses my own google drive to upload images and then OCR. The token has expired so it says server error.

If you need to use google drive with your own credentials, you can check out this issue: #121

thanks for the reply, i'll read up the links you provided
i use google drive as a second option ocr as it could grab the text when google would sometimes fail to do so

i tried using the cli method but im stucked at the second step where it shows:

Authorization Error
Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch
You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy.
If you're the app developer, register the redirect URI in the Google Cloud Console.step,

Ive so many questions, I've tried running the command but nothing happens on my PC. Where do I upload the image and how to change the image's mimetype? What URI should i put for the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs ?

Create a credential for desktop:

You don't need to set the mimetype. It is done by the cli tool. I just write there for insights.

Things i made for it to work, given you have normal google ocr running:
Enable Google Drive API
Publish the app
Put credentials into main folder after the cloud app is running + googleocrplugin.jar and googleocrplugin.xml in plugins folder
