Readme

Google Auth Python Library

This library simplifies using Google's various server-to-server authentication mechanisms to access Google APIs.

Installing

You can install using pip:

$ pip install google-auth

For more information on setting up your Python development environment, please refer to Python Development Environment Setup Guide for Google Cloud Platform.

Extras

google-auth has few extras that you can install. For example:

$ pip install google-auth[pyopenssl]

Note that the extras pyopenssl and enterprise_cert should not be used together because they use conflicting versions of cryptography.

Previous releases that support Python 3.7 will continue to be available for download, but releases after January 1 2024 will only target Python 3.8 and newer.
