How to get access token from instance of google.oauth2.service_account.Credentials object?
I need to access an google api endpoint which needs authorisation. For that, I need to provide an access token in request headers.
How to get the access token from this instance of Credentials object?
In case of oauth2client.service_account.ServiceAccountCredentials object, they provide a method to fetch an access token(called get_access_token()), but I could not find any such method for google.oauth2.service_account.Credentials. Any help would be appreciated.
I want to do this inside python script.
Im not sure why you need one as you should be building a service object for which ever api it is you are trying to access. However the following should give you the access token.
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(KEY_FILE_LOCATION, SCOPES)
credentials.access_token
