/gw-loop	Periodic monitoring setup

Standalone CLI

pip install google-workspace-cli

Published on PyPI as google-workspace-cli (the gw-cli name was already taken). The installed command is still gw.

Latest from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/JFK/gw-cli.git

Or clone and install locally:

git clone https://github.com/JFK/gw-cli.git
cd gw-cli
pip install -e .

Setup

1. Create GCP Project

gcloud projects create gw-cli-$(date +%Y%m%d) --name="gw-cli"
gcloud config set project gw-cli-YYYYMMDD

2. Enable APIs

gcloud services enable calendar-json.googleapis.com gmail.googleapis.com drive.googleapis.com --project=PROJECT_ID

3. OAuth Consent Screen

Open in browser: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent?project=PROJECT_ID

• User Type: External
• App name: gw-cli
• Add your email as a test user (required, otherwise login fails with 403)
