How do I access my AppEngine DataStore entities from my Compute Engine VM?

Question

My app is running on App Engine, but I would like to access its NDB DataStore entities from my Compute Engine VM to do some processing and write the results back to the App

Answer 1

David's solution requires you to use App Engine instance time to make requests, but you can bypass it and make requests directly to Datastore from Compute Engine instance. There is a pretty good tutorial about how to do this. But its not so pretty like ndb.

>>> import googledatastore as datastore
>>> datastore.set_options(dataset='project-id')
>>> req = datastore.BeginTransactionRequest()
>>> datastore.begin_transaction(req)
