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.

Go

    success := false

    // 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.
    fac := chilkat.NewFileAccess()
    jsonKey := fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/googleApi/ChilkatCloud-13a07a2e8b3f.json","utf-8")
    if fac.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(fac.LastErrorText())
        fac.DisposeFileAccess()
        return
    }

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

    // 	{
    // 	  "type": "service_account",
    // 	  "project_id": "chilkattest-1350",
    // 	  "private_key_id": "fa2e36ee26986eab628b59868af8bec1d1c64c38",
    // 	  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIjFa...28N64N2n1E4FYzBZjSdy\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
    // 	  "client_email": "598922945226-00rb0ppfg0sndajo6bhvd4v17jtj2d3a@developer.gserviceaccount.com",
    // 	  "client_id": "598922945226-00rb0ppfg0snd9jo7bhvd4v17jtj2d3a.apps.googleusercontent.com",

    // 	}

    gAuth := chilkat.NewAuthGoogle()
    gAuth.SetJsonKey(*jsonKey)

    gAuth.SetScope("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform")

    gAuth.SetExpireNumSeconds(3600)

    // If the application is requesting delegated access:
    // The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access,
    // then set the email address here. (Otherwise leave it empty.)
    gAuth.SetSubEmailAddress("")

    // Connect to www.googleapis.com using TLS (TLS 1.2 is the default.)
    // The Chilkat socket object is used so that the connection can be established
    // through proxies or an SSH tunnel if desired.
    tlsSock := chilkat.NewSocket()
    success = tlsSock.Connect("www.googleapis.com",443,true,5000)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(tlsSock.LastErrorText())
        fac.DisposeFileAccess()
        gAuth.DisposeAuthGoogle()
        tlsSock.DisposeSocket()

    // We're going to save this access token to a file to be used
    // by other examples.
