Getting Started

Requirements

  • Python 2.6+

  • OpenSSL

Installation

Flask-GSA can be installed with pip:

$ pip install Flask-GSA

Basic Usage

A minimal sample application:

from flask import Flask
from flask_gsa import GoogleServiceAccount

app = Flask(__name__)

# Create a service account object and assign a config variable prefix
analytics_gsa = GoogleServiceAccount('ANALYTICS_GSA')

# Set up the service account settings
app.config['ANALYTICS_GSA_PK_FILE'] = 'analytics.p12'
app.config['ANALYTICS_GSA_PK_PASSWORD'] = 'notasecret'
app.config['ANALYTICS_GSA_EMAIL'] = '12345abcd@developer.gserviceaccount.com'

# Initialize the extension
analytics_gsa.init_app(app)

@app.route('/token')
def get_analytics_token():
    scopes = [
        'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly'
    ]
    return analytics_gsa.generate_token(scopes)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000, debug=True)

Run the app:

$ python example.py
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat

Get a token:

$ http :5000/token
{
    "expires": 1437698007,
    "issued": 1437694408,
    "token": "ya29.uQEiLFkED9YMTG7CvctLYtJqnOny_8CkA4_Hxk5yxzEhXR3eNSO-Pca20BRNxBT74XYD",
    "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Configuration Options:

When creating an instance of the extension, you must choose a config variable
prefix. This allows multiple service account objects to be used with the same
app:
analytics_gsa = GoogleServiceAccount('ANALYTICS')
gdrive_gsa = GoogleServiceAccount('GDRIVE')

The following config variables are required:

Config Variable

Description

<prefix>_PK_FILE

Path to the PKCS12 key that will be used to sign tokens

<prefix>_PK_PASSWORD

Password for the PKCS12 private key

<prefix>_EMAIL

Service Account’s email address
