Pydrive google drive automate authentication

Question

I have the following piece of code:

from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth

gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.DEFAULT_SETTINGS = {\'save_credentials\': True,\'client_c         


        

Answer 1

Actually you need to copy the client_secret.json file to my_cred.txt by the following code:

gauth = GoogleAuth()
# Try to load saved client credentials
gauth.LoadCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")
if gauth.credentials is None:
    # Authenticate if they're not there
    gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
elif gauth.access_token_expired:
# Refresh them if expired
    gauth.Refresh()
else:
    # Initialize the saved creds
    gauth.Authorize()
# Save the current credentials to a file
gauth.SaveCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")

Then use the following code to initialize the drive:

def authorize_drive():
    gauth = GoogleAuth()
    gauth.DEFAULT_SETTINGS['client_config_file'] = "client_secret.json"
    gauth.LoadCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")
    return GoogleDrive(gauth)


class DriveReport(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.drive = authorize_drive()
