The best way to authenticate is to use an environment argument pointing at your authentication file.
Set the file location of your download Google Project JSON file in a GCS_AUTH_FILE argument
Then, when you load the library you should auto-authenticate
However, you can authenticate directly using this function pointing at your JSON auth file.
## Not run:
library(googleCloudStorageR)
gcs_auth("location_of_json_file.json")
#' # to use your own Google Cloud Project credentials
# go to GCP console and download client credentials JSON
# ideally set this in .Renviron file, not here but just for demonstration
Sys.setenv("GAR_CLIENT_JSON" = "location/of/file.json")
library(googleCloudStorageR)
# should now be able to log in via your own GCP project
gcs_auth()
# reauthentication
# Once you have authenticated, set email to skip the interactive message
gcs_auth(email = "my@email.com")
# or leave unset to bring up menu on which email to auth with
gcs_auth()
# The googleCLoudStorageR package is requesting access to your Google account.
# Select a pre-authorised account or enter '0' to obtain a new token.
# Press Esc/Ctrl + C to abort.
#1: my@email.com
#2: work@mybusiness.com
# you can set authentication for many emails, then switch between them e.g.
gcs_auth(email = "my@email.com")
gcs_list_buckets("my-project") # lists what buckets you have access to
gcs_auth(email = "work@mybusiness.com")
gcs_list_buckets("my-project") # lists second set of buckets
