## Description
|
|
|
|
This is Google's officially supported ruby client library for using OAuth 2.0
|
|
authorization and authentication with Google APIs.
|
|
|
|
## Alpha
|
|
|
|
This library is in Alpha. We will make an effort to support the library, but
|
|
we reserve the right to make incompatible changes when necessary.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Be sure `https://rubygems.org/` is in your gem sources.
|
|
|
|
For normal client usage, this is sufficient:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ gem install googleauth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Usage
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
require 'googleauth'
|
|
|
|
# Get the environment configured authorization
|
|
scopes = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute']
|
|
authorization = Google::Auth.get_application_default(scopes)
|
|
|
|
# Add the the access token obtained using the authorization to a hash, e.g
|
|
# headers.
|
|
some_headers = {}
|
|
authorization.apply(some_headers)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Application Default Credentials
|
|
|
|
This library provides an implementation of
|
|
[application default credentials][application default credentials] for Ruby.
|
|
|
|
The Application Default Credentials provide a simple way to get authorization
|
|
credentials for use in calling Google APIs.
|
|
|
|
They are best suited for cases when the call needs to have the same identity
|
|
and authorization level for the application independent of the user. This is
|
|
the recommended approach to authorize calls to Cloud APIs, particularly when
|
|
you're building an application that uses Google Compute Engine.
|
|
|
|
## What about auth in google-apis-ruby-client?
|
|
|
|
The goal is for all auth done by
|
|
[google-apis-ruby-client][google-apis-ruby-client] to be performed by this
|
|
library. I.e, eventually google-apis-ruby-client will just take a dependency
|
|
on this library. This update is a work in progress, but should be completed
|
|
by Q2 2015.
