Authenticating Google API Client Library for Go using Service Accounts
2018-06-09
This post is specifically for the autogenerated Google APIs Client for Go. I haven’t tried the other Google Cloud Library for Go since it didn’t have the compute library I needed. You can use the golang.org/x/oauth2/google library for authentication with this library. It can work with service accounts as well, which is what I am using at the moment. Using the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable After you have created your service account, downloaded the JSON file, and saved it in some location, you can set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable with the path of your service account JSON file.
