Zoho Recruit API and Google Sheets OAuth2 process

Zoho Recruit API and Google Sheets OAuth2 process

Hello fellow ZR API user,

I need to use Zoho Recruit API together with Google (because our team is operating within Google Sheets already).

I use this library to support OAuth2 for Zoho in Google Sheets: 
(looks amazing and seems to work well for others)

Interesting:
* Works really well for the Zoho CRM API for me
* Does not work for Zoho Recruit API for me (always get a 400 error)

My questions:
* Do I use wrong scope or code? Does anything stand out?
* Are there other / better libraries / code I can use?

Thank you!

Before this suggestion comes up:
I contacted Zoho Recruit Support 2 weeks ago with multiple follow-ups without any answer.
This is why I am turning to the community (I would have hoped for Zoho to help me out here)

                                    Hi everyone, In our Zoho CRM we have two Lead Status values: Lost Lead and Junk Lead. What I want to achieve is: When a lead is marked as Lost or Junk, it should disappear from my sales reps’ Lead views (so they only see active leads). At the same time,

                                    Hello all, I want to use Canvas to make small changes to certain views, not to make huge changes. Is it possible to copy the original Zoho layout and set-up and start from there? I checked and all I can find are some templates which are far from the original
                                  • Is there a way to request a password?

                                    We add customers info into the vaults and I wanted to see if we could do some sort of "file request" like how dropbox offers with files. It would be awesome if a customer could go to a link and input a "title, username, password, url" all securely and it then shows up in our team vault or something. Not sure if that is safe, but it's the best I can think of to be semi scalable and obviously better than sending emails. I am open to another idea, just thought this would be a great feature.  Thanks,
