Authenticating Google Cloud Storage

Create a service account and share the json file for the authentication. For more information, see Service accounts overview.

Refer to the following sample json file for authentication: 
"service_account" : {
   "type": "service_account",
   "project_id": "project id",
   "private_key_id": "<private key>",
   "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\<private key removed>\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
   "client_email": "<google generated email>.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
   "client_id": "<client id>",
   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
   "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
   "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
   "client_x509_cert_url": <provided cert URL>,
   "universe_domain": "googleapis.com"
}
Note:
  • Google generates the .json file automatically. Do not modify the .json sample manually.
  • If the scope is different from https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write, the credentials must support writing to the bucket.
