google.auth.identity_pool module¶

Identity Pool Credentials.

This module provides credentials to access Google Cloud resources from on-prem or non-Google Cloud platforms which support external credentials (e.g. OIDC ID tokens) retrieved from local file locations or local servers. This includes Microsoft Azure and OIDC identity providers (e.g. K8s workloads registered with Hub with Hub workload identity enabled).

These credentials are recommended over the use of service account credentials in on-prem/non-Google Cloud platforms as they do not involve the management of long-live service account private keys.

Identity Pool Credentials are initialized using external_account arguments which are typically loaded from an external credentials file or an external credentials URL. Unlike other Credentials that can be initialized with a list of explicit arguments, secrets or credentials, external account clients use the environment and hints/guidelines provided by the external_account JSON file to retrieve credentials and exchange them for Google access tokens.

class Credentials(audience, subject_token_type, token_url, credential_source, service_account_impersonation_url=None, client_id=None, client_secret=None, quota_project_id=None, scopes=None, default_scopes=None, workforce_pool_user_project=None)[source]¶

Bases: Credentials

External account credentials sourced from files and URLs.

Instantiates an external account credentials object from a file/URL.

Parameters:

audience (str) – The STS audience field.
subject_token_type (str) – The subject token type.
token_url (str) – The STS endpoint URL.
credential_source (Mapping) –
The credential source dictionary used to provide instructions on how to retrieve external credential to be exchanged for Google access tokens.

Example credential_source for url-sourced credential:
```
{
    "url": "http://www.example.com",
    "format": {
        "type": "json",
        "subject_token_field_name": "access_token",
    },
    "headers": {"foo": "bar"},
}
```
Example credential_source for file-sourced credential:
```
{
    "file": "/path/to/token/file.txt"
}
```
service_account_impersonation_url (Optional [ str ]) – The optional service account impersonation getAccessToken URL.
client_id (Optional [ str ]) – The optional client ID.
client_secret (Optional [ str ]) – The optional client secret.
quota_project_id (Optional [ str ]) – The optional quota project ID.
scopes (Optional [ Sequence [ str ] ]) – Optional scopes to request during the authorization grant.
default_scopes (Optional [ Sequence [ str ] ]) – Default scopes passed by a Google client library. Use ‘scopes’ for user-defined scopes.
workforce_pool_user_project (Optona[str]) – The optional workforce pool user project number when the credential corresponds to a workforce pool and not a workload identity pool. The underlying principal must still have serviceusage.services.use IAM permission to use the project for billing/quota.

Raises:

google.auth.exceptions.RefreshError – If an error is encountered during access token retrieval logic.
ValueError – For invalid parameters.

Note

Typically one of the helper constructors from_file() or from_info() are used instead of calling the constructor directly.

retrieve_subject_token(request)[source]¶

Retrieves the subject token using the credential_source object.

Parameters:: request (google.auth.transport.Request) – A callable used to make HTTP requests.
Returns:: The retrieved subject token.
Return type:: str

apply(headers, token=None)[source]¶

Apply the token to the authentication header.

Parameters:

headers (Mapping) – The HTTP request headers.
token (Optional [ str ]) – If specified, overrides the current access token.

before_request(request, method, url, headers)[source]¶

Performs credential-specific before request logic.

Refreshes the credentials if necessary, then calls apply() to apply the token to the authentication header.

Parameters:

request (google.auth.transport.Request) – The object used to make HTTP requests.
method (str) – The request’s HTTP method or the RPC method being invoked.
url (str) – The request’s URI or the RPC service’s URI.
headers (Mapping) – The request’s headers.

property default_scopes¶

the credentials’ current set of default scopes.

Type:: Sequence [ str ]

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.

get_project_id(request)[source]¶

Retrieves the project ID corresponding to the workload identity or workforce pool. For workforce pool credentials, it returns the project ID corresponding to the workforce_pool_user_project.

When not determinable, None is returned.

This is introduced to support the current pattern of using the Auth library:

credentials, project_id = google.auth.default()

The resource may not have permission (resourcemanager.projects.get) to call this API or the required scopes may not be selected: https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/reference/rest/v1/projects/get#authorization-scopes

Parameters:

request (google.auth.transport.Request) – A callable used to make HTTP requests.

Returns:

The project ID corresponding to the workload identity pool: or workforce pool if determinable.

Return type:

Optional [ str ]

has_scopes(scopes)¶

Checks if the credentials have the given scopes.

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

property info¶

Generates the dictionary representation of the current credentials.

Returns:

The dictionary representation of the credentials. This is the: reverse of “from_info” defined on the subclasses of this class. It is useful for serializing the current credentials so it can deserialized later.

Return type:

Mapping

property is_user¶

Returns whether the credentials represent a user (True) or workload (False). Workloads behave similarly to service accounts. Currently workloads will use service account impersonation but will eventually not require impersonation. As a result, this property is more reliable than the service account email property in determining if the credentials represent a user or workload.

Returns:

True if the credentials represent a user. False if they represent a: workload.

Return type:

bool

static is_valid_url(patterns, url)[source]¶: Returns True if the provided URL’s scheme is HTTPS and the host comforms to at least one of the provided patterns.

property is_workforce_pool¶

Returns whether the credentials represent a workforce pool (True) or workload (False) based on the credentials’ audience.

This will also return True for impersonated workforce pool credentials.

Returns:

True if the credentials represent a workforce pool. False if they: represent a workload.

Return type:

bool

property project_number¶

The project number corresponding to the workload identity pool.

Type:: Optional [ str ]

property quota_project_id¶: Project to use for quota and billing purposes.

refresh(request)[source]¶

Refreshes the access token.

Parameters:: request (google.auth.transport.Request) – The object used to make HTTP requests.
Raises:: google.auth.exceptions.RefreshError – If the credentials could not be refreshed.

property requires_scopes¶

Checks if the credentials requires scopes.

Returns:: True if there are no scopes set otherwise False.
Return type:: bool

property scopes¶

the credentials’ current set of scopes.

Type:: Sequence [ str ]

property service_account_email¶

Returns the service account email if service account impersonation is used.

Returns:

The service account email if impersonation is used. Otherwise: None is returned.

Return type:

Optional [ str ]

property valid¶

Checks the validity of the credentials.

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

with_quota_project(quota_project_id)[source]¶

Returns a copy of these credentials with a modified quota project.

Parameters:: quota_project_id (str) – The project to use for quota and billing purposes
Returns:: A new credentials instance.
Return type:: google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials

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

Create a copy of these credentials with the specified scopes.

Parameters:: scopes (Sequence [ str ]) – 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.

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:: Optional [ datetime ]

classmethod from_info(info, **kwargs)[source]¶

Creates an Identity Pool Credentials instance from parsed external account info.
