Now, what IS in my day to day sweetspot? Working with service accounts and IAM within GCP for authorization.

#Google drive api v3 list files in folder how to#
I need which token from where now? And do I put it in a header? What’s the name of the header? I’m always looking up how to implement OAuth correctly each time I have to do it. I just don’t like that since it’s not something I use every day, I can never remember exactly what I need to do. Okay okay, hate is probably too strong of a word. I hate OAuth, and on the surface it seems like you need to use OAuth in order to use Google Drive’s API. Only one problem.and I have a confession to make. Super simple interface, has rudimentary source control built into it, and it has an API so I can automate pulling the icons from Drive into proper source control and our build system for everyone to consume the icons! Maybe you never thought of it as a data store.but let’s talk about it here for a minute. So an easy solution is to use Google Drive. I’m not going to write a front-end from scratch, and teaching them source control, while valuable, isn’t really something I wanted to tackle right now. Right now, for example, I’m building an app that allows non-technical folks to easily add icons into a build system. There are times when I’m building an application on GCP when I don’t want to use a more traditional datastore like Cloud SQL or Bigtable.
