How to get a GCP Bearer token programmatically with python

Question

gcloud auth print-access-token gives me a Bearer token that I can use later on; however, this is a shell command. How would I obtain one programmatically via t

Answer 1

import google.auth
import google.auth.transport.requests


# getting the credentials and project details for gcp project
credentials, your_project_id = google.auth.default(scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"])

#getting request object
auth_req = google.auth.transport.requests.Request()

print(credentials.valid) # prints False
credentials.refresh(auth_req) #refresh token
#cehck for valid credentials
print(credentials.valid)  # prints True
print(credentials.token) # prints token
