Jupyter Notebook：访问谷歌云 API

Question

I am running my Jupyter notebooks locally via Docker ( jupyter/scipy-notebook )

So far I always accessed APIs by saving the credentials in the.env file where the Dockerfile lives. However, now I start working with Google Cloud and the private keys are "handed over" to me in a private key JSON file . I now wonder how that works together with the.env I am currently using. Can I just insert the path to the file in my.env file? Probably not... but I currently have no better idea.

As far as I remember, you will have to create an environment variable called GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS and the value is the path to that JSON file key you've got.

The GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is the default name Google libraries will look for in determining the path to the key. This is done when you create an instance of the specific client library.

Here's a link. Section Setting the environment variable talks about it. https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started
