Google Api, Node.js - invalid_grant Malformed auth code

I'm trying to use the google api on node.js, but I always have the following error:

invalid_grant
Malformed auth code

By searching on the web I saw that the client id should be an email address, not the client id on the console. I changed that to the email address of my google account, it was even worse because I wasn't able to connect using google

Here's the code, adapted from https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list

var fs = require('fs');
var readline = require('readline');
var { google } = require('googleapis');
// var googleAuth = require('google-auth-library');

// If modifying these scopes, delete your previously saved credentials
// at ~/.credentials/google-apis-nodejs-quickstart.json
var SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl']
var TOKEN_DIR = (process.env.HOME || process.env.HOMEPATH ||
    process.env.USERPROFILE) + '/.credentials/';
var TOKEN_PATH = TOKEN_DIR + 'google-apis-nodejs-quickstart.json';

// Load client secrets from a local file.
fs.readFile('client_secret.json', function processClientSecrets(err, content) {
  if (err) {
    console.log('Error loading client secret file: ' + err);
    return;
  }
  // Authorize a client with the loaded credentials, then call the YouTube API.
  //See full code sample for authorize() function code.
authorize(JSON.parse(content), {'params': {'id': 'Ks-_Mh1QhMc',
                 'part': 'snippet,contentDetails,statistics'}}, videosListById);

});

/**

 * given callback function.
 *
 * @param {Object} credentials The authorization client credentials.

 */
function authorize(credentials, requestData, callback) {
  // Regarder response.config.data
  var clientSecret = credentials.client_secret;
  var clientId = credentials.client_id;
  var redirectUrl = credentials.redirect_uri;
  var auth = google.auth.OAuth2;
  var oauth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2(
    clientId,
    clientSecret,
    redirectUrl
  );

  // Check if we have previously stored a token.
  fs.readFile(TOKEN_PATH, function(err, token) {
    if (err) {
      getNewToken(oauth2Client, requestData, callback);
    } else {
      oauth2Client.credentials = JSON.parse(token);
      callback(oauth2Client, requestData);
    }
  });
}

function videosListById(auth, requestData) {
  var service = google.youtube('v3');
  var parameters = removeEmptyParameters(requestData['params']);
  parameters['auth'] = auth;
  service.videos.list(parameters, function(err, response) {
    if (err) {
      console.log('The API returned an error: ' + err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(response);
  });

I literally copy-paste the code in the console, but still have the same error

Here is my case:

The authorization code in the url hash fragment is being encoded by encodeURIComponent API, so if you pass this code to request the access token. It will throw an error:

{ "error": "invalid_grant", "error_description": "Malformed auth code." }

So I use decodeURIComponent to decode the authorization code.

decodeURIComponent('4%2F_QCXwy-PG5Ub_JTiL7ULaCVb6K-Jsv45c7TPqPsG2-sCPYMTseEtqHWcU_ynqWQJB3Vuw5Ad1etoWqNPBaGvGHY')

After decode, the authorization code is:

"4/_QCXwy-PG5Ub_JTiL7ULaCVb6K-Jsv45c7TPqPsG2-sCPYMTseEtqHWcU_ynqWQJB3Vuw5Ad1etoWqNPBaGvGHY"
