Connecting to Google Content API via Python

I am kind of new in Google APIs and I am trying to connect to Google Content API via Python. I am using a service account for that.

My script is quite easy and straightforward:

from apiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

import httplib2

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_p12_keyfile(
    'xxxxx.iam.gserviceaccount.com',
    '/Users/Downloads/pkey.txt',
    scopes='https://www.googleapis.com/auth/content')


http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())

service = build('https://www.googleapis.com/content', 'v2')

In the authorization process I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Does it have to do with my authorisation? Or I am doing something wrong? Thanks a lot for your help!

You want to provide build() with the api_name, not a URL.

service = build('content', 'v2')
