Description

On trying to use timeliner with Google Photos I am constantly getting a Bad Request error as follows:

 Get https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums?pageSize=50&pageToken=: oauth2: cannot fetch token: 400 Bad Request
Response: {
  "error": "invalid_grant",
  "error_description": "Bad Request"
} <<< - retrying... (attempt 5/10)

Any ideas?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check the OAuth2 token refresh implementation for Google Photos, ensure the refresh token is being used correctly and not expired. Verify client credentials and grant type.
