googleAuthR (version 1.1.1)

gar_auth_configure: Edit and view auth configuration

Description

These functions give more control over and visibility into the auth configuration than [gar_auth()] does. `gar_auth_configure()` lets the user specify their own: * OAuth app, which is used when obtaining a user token. * API key. If googleAuthR is de-authorized via [gar_deauth()], all requests are sent with an API key in lieu of a token. See the vignette [How to get your own API credentials](https://gargle.r-lib.org/articles/get-api-credentials.html) for more. If the user does not configure these settings, internal defaults are used. `gar_oauth_app()` and `gar_api_key()` retrieve the currently configured OAuth app and API key, respectively.

Usage

gar_auth_configure(app, path, api_key)
gar_api_key()
gar_oauth_app()

Arguments

app

OAuth app, in the sense of [httr::oauth_app()].

path

JSON downloaded from Google Cloud Platform Console, containing a client id (aka key) and secret, in one of the forms supported for the txt argument of jsonlite::fromJSON() (typically, a file path or JSON string).

api_key

API key.

Value

* `gar_auth_configure()`: An object of R6 class [gargle::AuthState], invisibly. * `gar_oauth_app()`: the current user-configured [httr::oauth_app()]. * `gar_api_key()`: the current user-configured API key.
