Question about CWS publishing API and service account

[Lu Xu]

Hi everyone,

I was following this doc https://developer.chrome.com/docs/webstore/using-api to setup the OAuth flow and I am able to get access token via a WebApp client and use that token in CWS publish APIs

But it seems I have to go through an OAuth consent flow, which requires some manual action, is there anyway I can fully automate obtaining the access token?

There seems a workaround: after obtaining the access token and refresh token for the first time, I can automate refreshing access token afterwards, but I am wondering is it a good practice?

I also find this doc about service account OAuth, but I would like to confirm does service-account support getting access token for CWS APIs?

Thank you very much!
