python - gmail python api身份验证

Question

我在 Google Developer 仪表板中创建了一个项目，授予它访问 Gmail API 的权限，并将我的凭据下载为 JSON 文件。

然后我在这里更改了 JSON 凭证文件路径并尝试运行快速入门示例，它失败了:

In [2]: run quickstart.py
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
InvalidClientSecretsError                 Traceback (most recent call last)
/Users/me/Code/gmail/quickstart.py in <module>()
     19 
     20 # Start the OAuth flow to retrieve credentials
---> 21 flow = flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, scope=OAUTH_SCOPE)
     22 http = httplib2.Http()
     23 

/Users/me/.virtualenvs/nlp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/util.pyc in positional_wrapper(*args, **kwargs)
    130         else: # IGNORE
    131           pass
--> 132       return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
    133     return positional_wrapper
    134 

/Users/me/.virtualenvs/nlp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/client.pyc in flow_from_clientsecrets(filename, scope, redirect_uri, message, cache, login_hint, device_uri)
   1987   """
   1988   try:
-> 1989     client_type, client_info = clientsecrets.loadfile(filename, cache=cache)
   1990     if client_type in (clientsecrets.TYPE_WEB, clientsecrets.TYPE_INSTALLED):
   1991       constructor_kwargs = {

/Users/me/.virtualenvs/nlp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/clientsecrets.pyc in loadfile(filename, cache)
    141 
    142   if not cache:
--> 143     return _loadfile(filename)
    144 
    145   obj = cache.get(filename, namespace=_SECRET_NAMESPACE)

/Users/me/.virtualenvs/nlp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/clientsecrets.pyc in _loadfile(filename)
    104   except IOError:
    105     raise InvalidClientSecretsError('File not found: "%s"' % filename)
--> 106   return _validate_clientsecrets(obj)
    107 
    108 

/Users/me/.virtualenvs/nlp/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oauth2client/clientsecrets.pyc in _validate_clientsecrets(obj)
     71 def _validate_clientsecrets(obj):
     72   if obj is None or len(obj) != 1:
---> 73     raise InvalidClientSecretsError('Invalid file format.')
     74   client_type = tuple(obj)[0]
     75   if client_type not in VALID_CLIENT:

InvalidClientSecretsError: Invalid file format.

代码如下:

#!/usr/bin/python

import httplib2

from apiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client.client import flow_from_clientsecrets
from oauth2client.file import Storage
from oauth2client.tools import run


# Path to the client_secret.json file downloaded from the Developer Console
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = 'gmail-api-eeac5a33ec79.json'

# Check https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/auth/scopes for all available scopes
OAUTH_SCOPE = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'

# Location of the credentials storage file
STORAGE = Storage('gmail.storage')

# Start the OAuth flow to retrieve credentials
flow = flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, scope=OAUTH_SCOPE)
http = httplib2.Http()

# Try to retrieve credentials from storage or run the flow to generate them
credentials = STORAGE.get()
if credentials is None or credentials.invalid:
  credentials = run(flow, STORAGE, http=http)

# Authorize the httplib2.Http object with our credentials
http = credentials.authorize(http)

# Build the Gmail service from discovery
gmail_service = build('gmail', 'v1', http=http)

# Retrieve a page of threads
threads = gmail_service.users().threads().list(userId='me').execute()

# Print ID for each thread
if threads['threads']:
  for thread in threads['threads']:
    print 'Thread ID: %s' % (thread['id'])

我没有更改 JSON 文件——只是从开发者控制台下载的。我真的很反感 Gmail 的 API 很难上手——有人知道我做错了什么吗？

创建新的客户端 ID 时，请确保选择Web 应用程序 或已安装的应用程序。

如果您选择服务帐户，则收到的 JSON 格式不同，必须遵循另一个过程:

Service accounts

Google APIs such as the Prediction API and Google Cloud Storage can act on behalf of your application without accessing user information. In these situations your application needs to prove its own identity to the API, but no user consent is necessary. Similarly, in enterprise scenarios, your application can request delegated access to some resources.

For these types of server-to-server interactions you need a service account, which is an account that belongs to your application instead of to an individual end-user. Your application calls Google APIs on behalf of the service account, and user consent is not required. (In non-service-account scenarios, your application calls Google APIs on behalf of end-users, and user consent is sometimes required.)

Note: These service-account scenarios require applications to create and cryptographically sign JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). We strongly encourage you to use a library to perform these tasks. If you write this code without using a library that abstracts token creation and signing, you might make errors that would have a severe impact on the security of your application. For a list of libraries that support this scenario, see the service-account documentation.A service account's credentials, which you obtain from the Google Developers Console, include a generated email address that is unique, a client ID, and at least one public/private key pair. You use the client ID and one private key to create a signed JWT and construct an access-token request in the appropriate format. Your application then sends the token request to the Google OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server, which returns an access token. The application uses the token to access a Google API. When the token expires, the application repeats the process.
