Support for using Service Account?

Open ernoaapa opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, your project looks interesting. The OAuth part is something that I would like to avoid. Have you considered adding support for Service Account?

A service account is a special type of Google account intended to represent a non-human user

hi @ernoaapa! Yes, OAuth feels like it's not 100% the best fit here. It worked surprisingly well so far though. I will look into service accounts again :)

hi @ernoaapa :) I tried looking into this for a bit but cannot see a straight forward way right now to use a service account for authentication without a SDK library. If you have experience with doing that in Clojure or if you are interested in looking into this, I would be happy about any help here :)

Otherwise, for our use case OAuth has been working well for a few months now so we don't really have the need to change it.

Still happy to add this if someone is interested in helping out with the feature!
