This post is a followup to How to do OAuth-requiring operations in a GAE cron job? , where I realized I'm mis-using the @oauth_required decorator from OAuth2DecoratorFromClientSecrets . As described by the OAuth 2.0 explained presentation, Oauth 2.0 solves the problem of: Building a service ... ... accessed by a user ... ... and accessing the user's data from a third party . That's what @oauth_required abstracts, and it does it well (currently my app "works": if I trigger the refresh page, I'm being asked to authorize access to my youtube data to my app, and the rest follows). But that's not

I tried to get data from Google Analytics API with Python client(google-api-python-client). Here's the code I used: from apiclient import discovery from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials from httplib2 import Http with open("ManagementGate-622edd43c0dd.p12") as f: private_key = f.read() credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials( 'XXXXXXXX@developer.gserviceaccount.com', private_key, 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly') http_auth = credentials.authorize(Http()) service = discovery.build('analytics', 'v3', http=http_auth) result = service.data().ga().get(

I am trying to make a python script that reads and writes to a google spreadsheet. I've basically copied the python quickstart script at https://developers.google.com/sheets/quickstart/python and modified it using the reference at https://developers.google.com/resources/api-libraries/documentation/sheets/v4/python/latest/ . Everything works fine with the "get" method shown in the quickstart script. I can read the sheet with no errors. To use "update" instead of "get" (write to the sheet instead of read it), I removed the .readonly portion of the scope url. I also replaced the get() method with

I am looking for a simple way to save a csv file originating from a published Google Sheets document? Since it's published, it's accessible through a direct link (modified on purpose in the example below). All my browsers will prompt me to save the csv file as soon as I launch the link. Neither: DOC_URL = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoOWveO-dNo5dFNrWThhYmdYW9UT1lQQkE&output=csv' f = urllib.request.urlopen(DOC_URL) cont = f.read(SIZE) f.close() cont = str(cont, 'utf-8') print(cont) , nor: req = urllib.request.Request(DOC_URL) req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows

I have a simple Google App Engine app that includes a /update page which updates a YouTube playlist. It looks like this: class UpdatePage(webapp2.RequestHandler): @decorator.oauth_required def get(self): update_result = self.update_playlist() ... routes = [('/update', UpdatePage), (decorator.callback_path, decorator.callback_handler())] app = webapp2.WSGIApplication(routes, debug=True) It works as expected and the update_playlist() method does its job, but it turns out that under some circumstances it can run for a pretty long time, resulting in a DeadlineExceededError . So after reading about

I am trying to download closed captions for this public youtube video (just for testing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txvud7wPbv4 I am using the code sample(captions.py) below that i got from this link https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/captions/download I have already stored the client-secrets.json(oauth2 authentification) and youtube-v3-api-captions.json in the same directory (asked in the sample code) I put this code line in cmd : python captions.py --videoid='Txvud7wPbv4' --action='download' I get this error: I don't know why it doesn't recognise the video id of this public

I'm using 'login' option in my app.yaml configuration file for a GAE application. Looks like this: - url: /admin/.* script: myapp.app login: admin - url: /.* script: myapp.app login: required UPDATE (by suggestion of bossylobster ) : I want a user always signed in (unsigned users can't do anything), and I need to know who the user is. Actually, I need OAuth2 credentials to communicate with Google APIs (for example, I need to fetch some user's info with Google Profiles API, and write in the user's calendar with Google Calendar API). Finally, I need an admin user to perform some operations (like
