This is a small Python library for working with the OAuth2 protocol on Google Cloud Platform.
Use the package manager pip to install.
pip install git+https://github.com/Ruairi-osul/gcp-oauth-utils.gitThe library provides one main class: GCPAuthenticator.
The GCPAuthenticator class is takes a path to a credentials json file, a set of scopes and a path to a token json which does not need to exist.
The main method is get_token which will return a token. If the token does not exist or is expired, it will be refreshed. If the token is not refreshable, a new one will be requested.
The get_token method will also save the token to the token path if it does not exist or is expired.
from gcp_oauth_utils import GCPAuthenticator
authenticator = GCPAuthenticator(scopes, oauth_creds_path, token_path)
# saves token to token_path
token = authenticator.get_token()
# to force a refresh
token = authenticator.get_token(force_refresh=True)
# to force regeneration of token
token = authenticator.get_token(force_generate=True)
