Google authentication is handled via the `google.oauth2` module or through the CLI. Specify either one of service `account_file` or `service_account_info`; if both are not specified, the client will try to detect the credentials following Google's [Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials). See Google's [Authentication documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#service-accounts) for details on inference and recommended authentication patterns. **Attributes:** * `service_account_file`: Path to the service account JSON keyfile. * `service_account_info`: The contents of the keyfile as a dict. **Methods:** #### `block_initialization` ```python theme={null} block_initialization(self) ``` #### `get_access_token` ```python theme={null} get_access_token(self) ``` See: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/69107745](https://stackoverflow.com/a/69107745) Also:
