Google Local Auth: Node.js Client
This library is meant to demonstrate authentication for sample purposes; it should be treated as a starting point for building an application, and is not a general purpose solution. To explore authentication options, see our authentication library for Node .
A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG .
Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained .

Quickstart
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/local-auth
Using the client library
const {authenticate} = require('@google-cloud/local-auth');
async function quickstart() {
const localAuth = await authenticate({
scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/blogger'],
keyfilePath: '/path/to/keys.json',
});
console.log('Tokens:', localAuth.credentials);
}
quickstart();

Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule . Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
- Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
- Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags
.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
For example, npm install @google-cloud/local-auth@legacy-8
installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning .
This library is considered to be in preview. This means it is still a work-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject to backwards-incompatible changes at any time.
