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)
