I'm playing with a Java web application running on the Google App Engine that needs to access a Google Drive Spreadsheet. It's a legacy app that stopped working with the final deprecation of oauth 1.

Reading up, I think service accounts would suit me well. Doco says:

"If your application runs on Google App Engine, a service account is set up automatically when you create your project."

That seems correct, as I can see the service account in https://appengine.google.com

What is not clear is where to access the credentials and client id for this automatically created service account?

Hi!

Whenever I need to use a service account, I look up this document. Is there anything else you need from this doc, or is anything unclear here? Let me know, I'll be happy to clarify what needs to be.

Cheers!
