How to get the JSON Key

When creating a new project

1. Sign in to Google Cloud Platform. (You need a Google account here.) ）

2. Select the IAM and Managed Service Accounts item in the left bar.

3. Select Create service account and fill in the required information.

4. Set permissions for the service account. In order to use GCS as a source and destination, you need GCS read/write permissions such as Cloud Storage > storage administrator.

5. Under Allow users to access this service account, select Create key, and select JSON as the key type. And press create.

If you want to use an existing project

1. If you created a JSON Key when you created a service account in the past and the download file at that time remains, you can use it.

2. If you did not create a JSON Key when creating a service account, or if you created one but do not have a download file, log in to Google Cloud Platform and select Create key for the account you want to use from the service account item.

3. Leave the key type as JSON. Then, when you press create, the JSON Key will be downloaded, so please use it.

How to check your service account email

You can see it on the screen when you select the item "IAM and Management Service Accounts" in the left bar, or when you select the account to use on that screen.
