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

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.

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.

Python >= 3.7

NOTE: Python 3.7 was marked as unsupported by the python community in June 2023. We recommend that all developers upgrade to Python 3.8 and newer as soon as they can. Support for Python 3.7 will be removed from this library after January 1 2024. 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.
