httr (version 1.4.4)

oauth_service_token: Generate OAuth token for service accounts.

Description

Service accounts provide a way of using OAuth2 without user intervention. They instead assume that the server has access to a private key used to sign requests. The OAuth app is not needed for service accounts: that information is embedded in the account itself.

Usage

oauth_service_token(endpoint, secrets, scope = NULL, sub = NULL)

Arguments

endpoint

An OAuth endpoint, created by oauth_endpoint()

secrets

Secrets loaded from JSON file, downloaded from console.

scope

a character vector of scopes to request.

sub

The email address of the user for which the application is requesting delegated access.
