Trying to retreive domain number of users, 'GetCurrentNumberOfUsers()', using AdminSettings API via a Service Account in Python. Enabled delegation wide authority and scope, but getting errors. I have used service account for Calendar API, Directory API, EmailSettings API, but not working for AdminSettings. Tried sample code at: github.com/Khan/gdata-python-client/blob/master/samples/apps/adminsettings_example.py but get 'Authorization required' error while using correct credentials for admin account: API Client Acccess
from oauth2client.client import SignedJwtAssertionCredentials
import gdata.gauth
import gdata.apps.service
import gdata.apps.adminsettings.service
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL = "XXXXXXXXXXXXX-ebirq08jvhldahbb482u8a1otu9n3l8p.apps.googleusercontent.com"
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PKCS12_FILE_PATH = 'gapi_admin/privatekey.p12'
f = file(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PKCS12_FILE_PATH, 'rb')
key = f.read()
f.close()
credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL, key, scope='https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/domain/', sub='admin@xxxtestmail.edu')
auth2token = gdata.gauth.OAuth2TokenFromCredentials(credentials)
service = gdata.apps.adminsettings.service.AdminSettingsService(source="testApp", domain='xxxtestmail.edu')
service = auth2token.authorize(service)
print service.GetCurrentNumberOfUsers()
#output
#TypeError: new_request() takes exactly 1 non-keyword argument (2 given)
works fine in OAuth2 Playground, view Screenshot.
The old GData Python library service objects don't actually support OAuth 2.0 which is what you need to be using. However you can hack a access token on there. Try something like:
credentials = SignedJwtAssertionCredentials(SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL, key, scope='https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/domain/', sub='admin@xxxtestmail.edu')
credentials.refresh(httplib2.Http())
service = gdata.apps.adminsettings.service.AdminSettingsService(source="testApp", domain='xxxtestmail.edu')
service.additional_headers[u'Authorization'] = u'Bearer {0}'.format(credentials.access_token)
print service.GetCurrentNumberOfUsers()
