Python Workflows

Client Initialization​

Use this helper function from the AutoKitteh Python SDK:

from autokitteh.google import google_drive_client

drive = google_drive_client("autokitteh_connection_name")

This helper function is documented here: https://autokitteh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#autokitteh.google.google_drive_client

The code above uses the AutoKitteh connection's authentication details automatically, and is equivalent to this code snippet

from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
import google.oauth2.credentials as credentials
import google.oauth2.service_account as service_account
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

scopes = [...]

if json_key:
    info = json.loads(json_key)
    creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_info(info, scopes=scopes)
else:
    creds = credentials.Credentials.from_authorized_user_info(...)
    if creds.expired:
        creds.refresh(Request())

drive = build("drive", "v3", credentials=creds)
