Authenticate with Google Cloud Storage API
gcs_auth(json_file = NULL, token = NULL, email = NULL)
| json_file | Authentication json file you have downloaded from your Google Project |
|---|---|
| token | An existing authentication token you may have by other means |
The email to default authenticate through |
The best way to authenticate is to use an environment argument pointing at your authentication file, making this function unnecessary.
Set the file location of your download Google Project JSON file in a GCS_AUTH_FILE argument
Then, when you load the library you should auto-authenticate
However, you can authenticate directly using this function pointing at your JSON auth file. You will still need the two JSON files - the client JSON and the authentication key JSON. gcs_setup can help set-up the latter, the client JSON you will need to download from your Google Cloud Project.
If using JSON files from another source, ensure it has either "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.full_control" or "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform" scopes.
