I am having a terrible time trying to authenticate to Google's Document Translation API. This API does not accept an API key. Oddly, it seems to require you to provide a filepath for a json file as a string to os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"]. I have the json file from my enterprise account, but it seems very insecure to have to have a bunch of secrets sitting in a file next to my code. So I have tried to find other ways to authenticate. One way I saw in a comment on stack overflow was this approach. Basically, you take each of the secrets in the .json file, load it as a secret the normal way you would handle secrets, then package them up in a dictionary and store those to a variable called credentials. When I run this, it says, "google.auth.exceptions.DefaultCredentialsError: Your default credentials were not found. " Is there a step I am missing here? Do I need to somehow pass the "credentials" variable to something else? I know I cannot simply pass the "credentials" variable to os.environ['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] because that will only accept a filepath structured as a string. Any help would be appreciated. project_id = REDACTED file_path = REDACTED target_language = 'en' my_google_credentials = { "type": os.environ.get('TYPE'), "project_id": os.environ.get('PROJECT_ID'), "private_key_id": os.environ.get('PRIVATE_KEY_ID'), "private_key": os.environ.get['private_key'], "universe_domain": os.environ.get('UNIVERSE_DOMAIN'), "token_uri": os.environ.get('TOKEN_URI'), "client_email": os.environ.get('CLIENT_EMAIL'), "client_id": os.environ.get('CLIENT_ID'), "auth_uri": os.environ.get('AUTH_URI'), "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": os.environ.get('AUTH_PROVIDER_x509_CERT_URL'), "client_x509_cert_url": os.environ.get('CLIENT_x509_CERT_URL') } credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_info(my_google_credentials) #scoped_credentials = credentials.with_scopes(['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform']) response = translate_document(project_id, file_path, target_language) print("Translation completed.")
