Google-api-ruby-client: Samples for version 0.9.x

[majioa]

Hello,

it seems that many of the code has been rewritten for version 0.9.x since 0.8.x so the samples from here https://github.com/google/google-api-ruby-client-samples/tree/master/service_account aren't supported. When I saw the embedded into this repo google-api-ruby-client I saw the similar samples, but many config parameters passed via ENV vars like:

GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRETS
GOOGLE_CREDENTIAL_STORE
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET
GOOGLE_API_KEY

with no format description of the vars provided.

So the question is how to use these vars to make user authentication/authorization with a public key for the OAuth2 in 0.9.x?

UPD:

Also the plain run the app:

google-api-samples

raises the exception:

samples/cli/google-api-samples:24:in `<class:App>': uninitialized constant App::Samples (NameError)
from samples/cli/google-api-samples:17:in `<main>'

What is it?

Also looking to solve the authentication issue. Any help would be appreciated since the docs are now obsolete.

Documentation on how to authorize correctly would be helpful. The samples just error with ~/.config/google/client_secrets.json not found.

Visit https://console.developers.google.com/
Credentials -> Create credentials -> OAuth client ID -> Other

Save client ID and client secret

Enable sheets API
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/sheets.googleapis.com/overview

After following the above, the Ruby samples worked for me.

I got this running a month ago with google-api-client ~> 0.11.1. Though would like official docs in case I missed important details.

Here is what I did for service account authentication. This works well if you don't need to do things on behalf of other user accounts.

• goto https://console.developers.google.com/
• Under 'Library' in the left sidebar, search for the API you want to use then click on the top ENABLE link
• Under 'Credentials' in the left sidebar, click on "Create credentials" then "Service account key"
• Download the json file
• In your ruby project, specify the filepath to said json file as an env var named GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS so it is the equivalent of:

ENV['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] = '/path/to/downloaded_file.json'

How you do this will depend on your own setup.

• Haven't tried it but you might not need to specify the filepath if you place the json file in ~/.config/google/client_secrets.json

It looks like there's an official Quickstart that uses OAuth.
