Get Google Cloud Storage Access Token using Service Account JSON Private Key

See more Google Cloud Storage Examples

Demonstrates how to get a Google Cloud Storage access token using a JSON service account private key. Obtaining an access token for a service account requires no user interaction (it does not require a browser, nor callback URI's, etc.).

When an access token expires, an application can be (and should be) designed to automatically fetch a new access token.

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

-- First load the JSON key into a string.
local fac = chilkat.FileAccess.new()
local jsonKey = fac:read_entire_text_file("qa_data/googleApi/ChilkatCloud-13a07a2e8b3f.json", "utf-8")
if not fac.last_method_success then
    print(fac.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- A JSON private key should look something like this:
