GCP service accounts the WordPress way
The WPGoogleServiceAccount class constructor takes 2 arguments. The first is the JSON service account key provided by google decoded into an array. The second is the scope to which you would like to authenticate the service account to.
- Find more scopes at the Google Oauth 2.0 Playground.
Calling the get_token method will retrieve a brand new token using google's Oauth 2.0 API endpoints, or it'll return a previously cached token if available.
