TypeScript typings for Security Token Service API v1beta
The Security Token Service exchanges Google or third-party credentials for a short-lived access token to Google Cloud resources. For detailed description please check documentation.
Install typings for Security Token Service API:
npm install @types/gapi.client.sts-v1beta --save-dev
You need to initialize Google API client in your code:
gapi.load('client', () => {
// now we can use gapi.client
// ...
});
Then load api client wrapper:
gapi.client.load(
'https://sts.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1beta',
() => {
// now we can use:
// gapi.client.sts
},
);
// Deprecated, use discovery document URL, see https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/reference.md#----gapiclientloadname----version----callback--
gapi.client.load('sts', 'v1beta', () => {
// now we can use:
// gapi.client.sts
});
After that you can use Security Token Service API resources:
/*
Exchanges a credential for a Google OAuth 2.0 access token. The token asserts an external identity within a workload identity pool, or it applies a Credential Access Boundary to a Google access token. When you call this method, do not send the `Authorization` HTTP header in the request. This method does not require the `Authorization` header, and using the header can cause the request to fail.
*/
await gapi.client.sts.token({});
