Authentication

Verify auth before making API calls:

gcloud auth print-access-token  # Shows token if authenticated

Not authenticated? → references/auth.md

• User data (Gmail, Drive): OAuth2 with consent flow
• Server-to-server: Service Account with JSON key
• Public data (Maps, YouTube public): API Key
• Running on GCP: ADC (automatic)
• Workspace admin: Service Account + Domain-Wide Delegation
