# This script is used to update a chrome extension that's already
# been uploaded to the Chrome Web Store. You'll need to know the
# chrome extension's ID that you want to update.
# To find the app ID see: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/publish#get-the-app-id
#
# usage:
#   ./chrome-web-store-api-update-utility.sh $APP_ID


# Get a set of OAuth 2.0 credentials for an "installed" application type:
#
# 1. Visit the Google Developers Console.
# 2. Create a new project or select an existing one.
# 3. In the sidebar on the left, select APIs & auth.
# 4. In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials.
# 5. Find the lines labeled Client ID and Client secret. Note that there may be a client ID without a client secret for use with Compute Engine and App Engine. In that case, create a new client ID and client secret.

# 7. Download the json file
#
# This is the path to that file
