Replace oauth2client about python-samples HOT 9 OPEN

Any updates on this ? We still point to oauth2client instead of google-auth in most of our quickstarts.

from python-samples.

This answer on Stack Overflow worked for me.

Please note that there are many more samples than just Sheets which are using oauth2client, namely:

• admin_sdk/directory/quickstart.py
• admin_sdk/reports/quickstart.py
• admin_sdk/reseller/quickstart.py
• apps_script/execute/execute.py
• apps_script/quickstart/quickstart.py
• calendar/quickstart/quickstart.py
• classroom/quickstart/quickstart.py
• drive/activity-v2/quickstart.py
• drive/activity/quickstart.py
• drive/driveapp/main.py
• drive/quickstart/quickstart.py
• events/next18/qbr_tool.py
• gmail/quickstart/quickstart.py
• people/quickstart/quickstart.py
• sheets/quickstart/quickstart.py
• sheets/snippets/base_test.py
• slides/quickstart/quickstart.py
• slides/snippets/base_test.py
• tasks/quickstart/quickstart.py
• vault/quickstart/quickstart.py

I've converted the sheets quickstart as a proof of concept in #60. Any comments about the token storage before I convert all samples?

If I understand correctly, to migrate to google-auth, just replace all code up to the service = with this and we're good?

NOTE: as @wamcvey pointed out, credentials.json stores service account key in this code rather than oauth 2.0 client data (in the deprecated quickstart).

    from googleapiclient.discovery import build
    import google.auth

    AUTH_FILE_PATH = 'tmp/credentials.json'
    # <If storing credentials in an env variable>
    if not os.path.isfile(AUTH_FILE_PATH):
        with open(AUTH_FILE_PATH, 'w') as outfile:
            outfile.write(os.environ['GOOGLE_AUTH_PART_1'])
            outfile.write(os.environ['GOOGLE_AUTH_PART_2'])  # Due to env variable 2048 char limit
    # </If storing credentials in an env variable>
    os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"] = AUTH_FILE_PATH

    google.auth.default()
    service = build('sheets', 'v4')

Can someone make a PR to fix the Sheets quickstart?

FWIW, the Drive API quickstart still references the deprecated oauth2client flow.
https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python

Also, the recommendation made bi @Elijas doesn't seem to be sufficient. The GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS file that is read by google.auth.default() is expecting a top-level type value set to either authorized_user or service_account. The JSON file that is produced as part of the quickstart (and stored in credentials.json, has no type key.

Thanks for pointing it out! I haven't looked to using OAuth 2.0 but the relevant section appears to be present in the docs, and could be used to authenticate with the OAuth credentials

Ok so with #60 merged, all the basic examples have been converted.

There's just a few left that are slightly more exotic:

• apps_script/execute/execute.py
• drive/driveapp/main.py
• events/next18/qbr_tool.py
• sheets/snippets/base_test.py
• slides/snippets/base_test.py

from python-samples.

form_service = discovery.build('forms', 'v1', http=creds.authorize(
    Http()), discoveryServiceUrl=DISCOVERY_DOC, static_discovery=False)

This results in the error UnknownApiNameOrVersion: name: forms version: v1
Is forms API different that other APIs such as calendar or drive?
