How to upload a json file with secret keys to Heroku

Question

I\'m building a rails app that pulls data from Google Analytics using the Google Api Client Library for Ruby.

I\'m using OAuth2 and can get everything working in dev

Answer 1

As discussed in this thread, rather than supplying a path to a json key file you can set three ENV variables instead:

GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE=service_account
GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY=XXX
GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL=XXX
