Installation

pip install kiarina-lib-google-auth

Quick Start

Basic Usage with Default Credentials

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_credentials

# Get default credentials (ADC, service account, or compute engine)
credentials = get_credentials()

Service Account Authentication

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_credentials, GoogleAuthSettings

# From service account key file
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_file="~/path/to/service-account-key.json"
    )
)

# From service account key data (JSON string)
import json
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_data=json.dumps({
            "type": "service_account",
            "project_id": "your-project",
            "private_key_id": "...",
            "private_key": "...",
            "client_email": "...",
            # ... other fields
        })
    )
)

User Account Authentication

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_credentials, GoogleAuthSettings

# From authorized user file (OAuth2 credentials)
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="user_account",
        authorized_user_file="~/path/to/authorized-user.json",
        scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]
    )
)

# From authorized user data (JSON string)
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="user_account",
        authorized_user_data=json.dumps({
            "type": "authorized_user",
            "client_id": "...",
            "client_secret": "...",
            "refresh_token": "..."
        }),
        scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]
    )
)

Service Account Impersonation

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_credentials, GoogleAuthSettings

# Impersonate a service account using source credentials
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_file="~/path/to/source-sa-key.json",
        impersonate_service_account="[e-mail]",
        scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]
    )
)

# Note: Source principal requires roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role

Credentials Caching

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_credentials, GoogleAuthSettings, CredentialsCache

# Implement a cache (e.g., in-memory, Redis, file-based)
class InMemoryCache(CredentialsCache):
    def __init__(self):
        self._cache: str | None = None
    
    def get(self) -> str | None:
        return self._cache
    
    def set(self, value: str) -> None:
        self._cache = value

cache = InMemoryCache()

# Use cache for user account credentials
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="user_account",
        authorized_user_file="~/path/to/authorized-user.json",
        scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]
    ),
    cache=cache
)

Self-Signed JWT

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_self_signed_jwt, GoogleAuthSettings

# Generate a self-signed JWT for service account
jwt_token = get_self_signed_jwt(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_file="~/path/to/service-account-key.json"
    ),
    audience="https://your-service.example.com/"
)

Authentication Types

1. Default Credentials

Uses Application Default Credentials (ADC) in the following priority:

1. GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable (service account key file)
2. gcloud auth application-default login credentials (user account)
3. Compute Engine metadata server (compute engine credentials)

credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(type="default")
)

2. Service Account

Authenticates using a service account key file or data.

# From file
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_file="~/sa-key.json"
    )
)

# From data
credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_data='{"type": "service_account", ...}'
    )
)

3. User Account

Authenticates using OAuth2 user credentials (authorized user file).

credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="user_account",
        authorized_user_file="~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json",
        scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive"]
    )
)

Note: User account credentials support automatic refresh and caching.

4. Service Account Impersonation

Impersonate a target service account using source credentials.

credentials = get_credentials(
    settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
        type="service_account",
        service_account_file="~/source-sa-key.json",
        impersonate_service_account="[e-mail]",
        scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]
    )
)

Required IAM Role: The source principal must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on the target service account.

Default Scopes

The library includes the following default scopes:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform - All GCP resources
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive - Google Drive resources
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets - Google Sheets resources

You can override these by specifying custom scopes in the configuration or function call.

Error Handling

from kiarina.lib.google.auth import get_credentials, GoogleAuthSettings

try:
    credentials = get_credentials(
        settings=GoogleAuthSettings(
            type="service_account",
            service_account_file="~/sa-key.json"
        )
    )
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Configuration error: {e}")
except FileNotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Key file not found: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Authentication failed: {e}")

Development

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12+

Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/kiarina/kiarina-python.git
cd kiarina-python

# Setup development environment
mise run setup

Running Tests

# Run format, lint, type checks and tests
mise run package kiarina-lib-google-auth

# Coverage report
mise run package:test kiarina-lib-google-auth --coverage

Test Configuration

Some tests require actual GCP credentials. Create a test settings file and set the environment variable to point to it:

# Create test settings file from sample
cp packages/kiarina-lib-google-auth/test_settings.sample.yaml \
   packages/kiarina-lib-google-auth/test_settings.yaml

# Edit the file with your actual credentials
# Then set the environment variable
export KIARINA_LIB_GOOGLE_AUTH_TEST_SETTINGS_FILE="packages/kiarina-lib-google-auth/test_settings.yaml"

The test settings file should contain multiple named configurations for different authentication scenarios:

kiarina.lib.google.auth:
  default:
    type: default
  service_account_file:
    type: service_account
    project_id: your-project-id
    service_account_email: [e-mail]
    service_account_file: ~/.gcp/service-account/your-project/your-service-account/key.json
  service_account_data:
    type: service_account
    project_id: your-project-id
    service_account_email: [e-mail]
    service_account_data: '{"type":"service_account","project_id":"...","private_key":"...","client_email":"..."}'
  service_account_impersonate:
    type: service_account
    project_id: your-project-id
    service_account_email: [e-mail]
    service_account_file: ~/.gcp/service-account/your-project/your-service-account/key.json
    impersonate_service_account: [e-mail]
  user_account_file:
    type: user_account
    project_id: your-project-id
    user_account_email: [e-mail]
    authorized_user_file: ~/.gcp/oauth2/your-project/authorized_user.json
  user_account_data:
    type: user_account
    project_id: your-project-id
    user_account_email: [e-mail]
    authorized_user_data: '{"type":"authorized_user","client_id":"...","client_secret":"...","refresh_token":"..."}'

Note: The test_settings.yaml file is gitignored to prevent accidental credential exposure.
