Google Pub/Sub

Set up

You will need:

• A Google Cloud Platform account

• A Google Cloud Platform project: https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/creating-managing-projects;

• An Access Control on this project: https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/access-control-proj;

• To create and activate your service accounts (generate credentials file): https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-service-accounts https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/access/create-enable-service-accounts-for-instances

  TO SUM IT UP: You can click here https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts, create a service account, and edit it to create a Key in a JSON format (this is the credential file);

Click on Create Service Account :

Give your service account a name, select the right account access (Pub/Sub Publisher, Pub/Sub Editor) and save.

Once your Service Account is created, you can generate your key :

credentials.json file example:

{
  "type": "service_account",
  "project_id": "xxx-xxx-xx",
  "private_key_id": "xxxxxxx",
  "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n xxxxxxx \n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
  "client_email": "xxx@project_id.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
  "client_id": "xxxxxx",
  "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
  "token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
  "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
  "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/projetc_id.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
