This function is to get authenticated service from Google. After
API_SERVICE_NAME = 'youtubereporting' API_VERSION = 'v1' CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE = "client_secret_929791903032-hpdm8djidqd8o5nqg2gk66efau34ea6q.apps.googleusercontent.com.json" SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics-monetary.readonly'] def get_authenticated_service(): flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, SCOPES) credentials = flow.run_local_server() return build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials)But I want to use Refresh Token to automatically authenticate without opening a browser. Therefore add some codes into the function above to save Refresh Token:
def get_authenticated_service(): flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, SCOPES) credentials = flow.run_local_server() with open('refresh.token', 'w+') as f: f.write(credentials._refresh_token) print('Refresh Token:', credentials._refresh_token) print('Saved Refresh Token to file: refresh.token') return build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials)Okay, so after having the Refresh Token, How to use it? I tried to replace the refresh token ="ABCDEF456" but it does not work
def get_authenticated_service(): return build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials="ABCDEF456")
