Description

I am trying to understand how to use this package and the documentation is wrong

I try to follow This OIDC Authentication: Device Code Flow

And I get

    raise OpenEoClientException("No client_id found.")
openeo.rest.OpenEoClientException: No client_id found.

When I run

connection.authenticate_oidc_device()

I have no idea how you are supposed to authenticate

Research direction

Start with the OIDC Authentication: Device Code Flow page linked in the issue and reproduce connection.authenticate_oidc_device(). Compare the documented steps with the reported “No client_id found” error. Done means the authentication instructions explain the required setup and allow a user to complete the flow without encountering this error.
