Introduction

Obtaining credentials for Google APIs

Google API credentials

Create a Google project :zap:

Just access to Google APIs.

• Or click here for a quick project creation.

Create credentials for your project :key:

Once you have created your project, you can create your project's credentials.

To manage project's credentials you have the section api/credentials within Google APIs. But if this is your first credentials creation you better follow these steps:

• First, you have to create the consent for your project
• Once the consent is already created and you have a name for you google app you can create your credentials:
  • Go to + Create Credentials and select OAuth ID client
  • Or access to api/credentials/oauthclient
  • The OAuth client type is other and choose the name you prefer :smiley:

You have already created your credentials! :fireworks:

Just place them in a credentials.json file in the root of this repository. :heavy_exclamation_mark::heavy_exclamation_mark:

Enable Google APIs :books:

You can see where you have to access for each google api in the doc google apis usage

Generating your token.pickle :unlock:

To authenticate us we have to send a token.pickle to Google APIs, this token.pickle is generated using the file credentials.json.

To generate this we have the make target google-auth, so, you just have to tun

• make google-auth

:warning: Credentials files to authenticate yourself are included in our .gitignore

:angel: So, you don't have to worry about that :smiley:
