Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other laravel google/apiclient

Question

I'm trying to access Google Analytics in order to get the page views of my site, but due to the update in GA4 I'm unable to access it through the client_secrets.json file. I'm getting this error:

"
"error": {
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project.",
    "errors": [
        { "message": "Login Required.",
          "domain": "global",
          "reason": "required",
          "location": "Authorization",
          "locationType": "header"
        }
    ],
    "status": "UNAUTHENTICATED",
    "details": [
        { 
          "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.ErrorInfo",
          "reason": "CREDENTIALS_MISSING",
          "domain": "googleapis.com",
          "metadata": {
              "service": "analyticsreporting.googleapis.com",
              "method": "google.analytics.reporting.v4.Reporting.GetReports"
            }
        }
    ]
}
}"

What do I have to do and how can I use the property id instead of the view id? I only need to get the page views of all my site pages.
