Get Google Cloud Storage Access Token using Service Account JSON Private Key

See more Google Cloud Storage Examples

Demonstrates how to get a Google Cloud Storage access token using a JSON service account private key. Obtaining an access token for a service account requires no user interaction (it does not require a browser, nor callback URI's, etc.).

When an access token expires, an application can be (and should be) designed to automatically fetch a new access token.

    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // First load the JSON key into a string.
    CkFileAccess fac = new CkFileAccess();
    String jsonKey = fac.readEntireTextFile("qa_data/googleApi/ChilkatCloud-13a07a2e8b3f.json","utf-8");
    if (fac.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        System.out.println(fac.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // A JSON private key should look something like this:
