使用Firebase Cloud Functions中的Google Cloud Compute Engine REST API

Question

I am trying to use the Google Cloud Compute Engine REST API from Firebase Functions. However I'm stuck with how to start, since I can't figure out how to authenticate from Cloud Functions.

This is the only resource I have found, but I can't figure out how to get it working on Cloud Functions.

Answer 1

I figured it out. Here's how to send REST API calls from Cloud Functions:

const {auth} = require('google-auth-library');
const client = await auth.getClient({
  scopes: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'
});

var url = [REQUEST URL HERE]
var data = {[REQUEST BODY HERE]}

response = await client.request({
  url: url,
  method: 'post',
  data: data
})
