GCloud Text To Speech: How does it work?

[Daniel Sternin]

Hello people.

I am tinkering around on a java program using Googles TTS API, but the REST approach described on the API Guide does not work. I get 404 (Not Found).

What I'm doing is (ab)using htmlunit, disguised as a Firefox to retrieve the data via POST request. But even if I am typing the URL in my browser, it brings me to the 404 page.

Any idea what's up with that?

I know there is also a java library, but I find using it way more complicated and therefore less appealing. Also it didn't work out either. I set the environment variable to my service acount key's path and still got an exception about the credentials not being "available".

I would prefer to get approach 1 to work, but any kind of tipps are appreciated.

Thanks
