Authenticate with Google Cloud Storage

gcs_auth_bucket.Rd

Authenticates with Google Cloud Storage (GCS) using the gargle package for OAuth2 token fetching, then sets the specified bucket as the global bucket for subsequent GCS operations.

Usage

gcs_auth_bucket(bucket)

Arguments

bucket

Character string. The name of the GCS bucket to set as the global bucket for subsequent operations.

Value

The bucket name (invisibly).

Details

This function uses gargle::token_fetch() to obtain an OAuth2 token with cloud-platform scope, then authenticates with googleCloudStorageR. It sets the global bucket so that subsequent GCS operations don't need to specify the bucket parameter repeatedly.

The function returns the bucket name invisibly, making it suitable for use in pipelines where you want to authenticate and continue processing.

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Authenticate and set a specific bucket as global
gcs_auth_bucket("my-project-data")

# Can be used in a pipeline
"my-project-data" |> gcs_auth_bucket()
} # }
