## :wrench: Obtaining credentials for Google APIs

### Google API credentials

#### Create a Google project :zap:

Just access to [Google APIs](https://console.developers.google.com/).

• Or [click here](https://console.developers.google.com/projectcreate) 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](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials) within [Google APIs](https://console.developers.google.com/). But if this is your first credentials creation you better follow these steps:

• First, you have to create the [consent](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/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](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/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](./google-apis-usage.md)

#### 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](.gitignore)

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