google.auth.credentials module¶

Interfaces for credentials.

class Credentials[source]¶

Bases: object

Base class for all credentials.

All credentials have a token that is used for authentication and may also optionally set an expiry to indicate when the token will no longer be valid.

Most credentials will be invalid until refresh() is called. Credentials can do this automatically before the first HTTP request in before_request().

Although the token and expiration will change as the credentials are refreshed and used, credentials should be considered immutable. Various credentials will accept configuration such as private keys, scopes, and other options. These options are not changeable after construction. Some classes will provide mechanisms to copy the credentials with modifications such as ScopedCredentials.with_scopes().

token¶

The bearer token that can be used in HTTP headers to make authenticated requests.

Type:: str

expiry¶

When the token expires and is no longer valid. If this is None, the token is assumed to never expire.

Type:: Optionaldatetime

property expired¶

Checks if the credentials are expired.

Note that credentials can be invalid but not expired because Credentials with expiry set to None is considered to never expire.

Deprecated since version v2.24.0: Prefer checking token_state instead.

property valid¶

Checks the validity of the credentials.

This is True if the credentials have a token and the token is not expired.

Deprecated since version v2.24.0: Prefer checking token_state instead.

property token_state¶: See :obj:`TokenState

class ReadOnlyScoped[source]¶

Bases: object

Interface for credentials whose scopes can be queried.

OAuth 2.0-based credentials allow limiting access using scopes as described in RFC6749 Section 3.3. If a credential class implements this interface then the credentials either use scopes in their implementation.

Some credentials require scopes in order to obtain a token. You can check if scoping is necessary with requires_scopes:

if credentials.requires_scopes:
    # Scoping is required.
    credentials = credentials.with_scopes(scopes=['one', 'two'])

Credentials that require scopes must either be constructed with scopes:

credentials = SomeScopedCredentials(scopes=['one', 'two'])

Or must copy an existing instance using with_scopes():

scoped_credentials = credentials.with_scopes(scopes=['one', 'two'])

Some credentials have scopes but do not allow or require scopes to be set, these credentials can be used as-is.

property scopes¶

the credentials’ current set of scopes.

Type:: Sequencestr

property default_scopes¶

the credentials’ current set of default scopes.

Type:: Sequencestr

abstract property requires_scopes¶: True if these credentials require scopes to obtain an access token.

has_scopes(scopes)[source]¶

Checks if the credentials have the given scopes.

Parameters:: scopes (Sequencestr) – The list of scopes to check.
Returns:: True if the credentials have the given scopes.
Return type:: bool

class Scoped[source]¶

Bases: ReadOnlyScoped

Interface for credentials whose scopes can be replaced while copying.

OAuth 2.0-based credentials allow limiting access using scopes as described in RFC6749 Section 3.3. If a credential class implements this interface then the credentials either use scopes in their implementation.

Some credentials require scopes in order to obtain a token. You can check if scoping is necessary with requires_scopes:

if credentials.requires_scopes:
    # Scoping is required.
    credentials = credentials.create_scoped(['one', 'two'])

Credentials that require scopes must either be constructed with scopes:

credentials = SomeScopedCredentials(scopes=['one', 'two'])

Or must copy an existing instance using with_scopes():

scoped_credentials = credentials.with_scopes(scopes=['one', 'two'])

Some credentials have scopes but do not allow or require scopes to be set, these credentials can be used as-is.

abstract with_scopes(scopes, default_scopes=None)[source]¶

Create a copy of these credentials with the specified scopes.

Parameters:: scopes (Sequencestr) – The list of scopes to attach to the current credentials.
Raises:: NotImplementedError – If the credentials’ scopes can not be changed. This can be avoided by checking requires_scopes before calling this method.

property default_scopes¶

the credentials’ current set of default scopes.

Type:: Sequencestr

has_scopes(scopes)¶

Checks if the credentials have the given scopes.

Parameters:: scopes (Sequencestr) – The list of scopes to check.
Returns:: True if the credentials have the given scopes.
Return type:: bool

abstract property requires_scopes¶: True if these credentials require scopes to obtain an access token.

property scopes¶

the credentials’ current set of scopes.

Type:: Sequencestr

with_scopes_if_required(credentials, scopes, default_scopes=None)[source]¶

Creates a copy of the credentials with scopes if scoping is required.

This helper function is useful when you do not know (or care to know) the specific type of credentials you are using (such as when you use google.auth.default()). This function will call Scoped.with_scopes() if the credentials are scoped credentials and if the credentials require scoping. Otherwise, it will return the credentials as-is.

Parameters:

credentials (google.auth.credentials.Credentials) – The credentials to scope if necessary.
scopes (Sequencestr) – The list of scopes to use.
default_scopes (Sequencestr) – Default scopes passed by a Google client library. Use ‘scopes’ for user-defined scopes.

Returns:

Either a new set of scoped: credentials, or the passed in credentials instance if no scoping was required.

Return type:

google.auth.credentials.Credentials

class Signing[source]¶

Bases: object

Interface for credentials that can cryptographically sign messages.

abstract sign_bytes(message)[source]¶

Signs the given message.

Parameters:: message (bytes) – The message to sign.
Returns:: The message’s cryptographic signature.
Return type:: bytes

abstract property signer_email¶

An email address that identifies the signer.

Type:: Optionalstr

abstract property signer¶

The signer used to sign bytes.

Type:: google.auth.crypt.Signer

class TokenState(value)[source]¶

Bases: Enum

Tracks the state of a token. FRESH: The token is valid. It is not expired or close to expired, or the token has no expiry. STALE: The token is close to expired, and should be refreshed. The token can be used normally. INVALID: The token is expired or invalid. The token cannot be used for a normal operation.
