Google Drive API for Chrome packaged app

Question

I was following quick start example for getting oauth setup for my packaged app.

https://developers.google.com/drive/quickstart-js

In order to get the client id, they put localhost port in redirect uri field, but since I am not dealing with any local server, what should I put in there to get the client id? I don't have any url set all I have done is created a manifest file, background file and loaded the unpacked extension to start with. My packaged app just needs Google Drive api to access files from it. I am just confused in getting the client id part. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Despite what the Chrome Identity API documentation says, it is possible to get a client ID through the Google APIs Console. Choose installed application as the application type and Chrome application from the installed application type. Then enter the your application's ID from the Chrome extensions menu.
