gcp
ImportantAs of Flowpipe 1.0.0, credential has been renamed to connection. The gcp credential resource is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Flowpipe. Use the gcp connection instead.
The gcp credential can be used to access Google Cloud Platform resources.
Arguments
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| credentials | String | Optional | Either the path to a JSON credential file that contains Google application credentials or the contents of a service account key file in JSON format. |
| ttl | Number | Optional | The time, in seconds, to cache the credentials. By default, the GP credential will be cached for 5 minutes. |
All arguments are optional, and a gcp credential with no arguments will behave the same as the GCP default credential.

| access_token | String | An OAuth access token to use to authenticate to GCP. |
Default Credential
The GCP credential type includes an implicit, default credential (credential.gcp.default) that will be configured using the same mechanism as the GCloud CLI (environment variables, config files, etc); the effective credentials of this default are the same as if you run the gcloud command. Credentials will be loaded from:
- The path specified in the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable, if set; otherwise
- The standard location (~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json)
