Class ApiKeyCredentials
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
Uses an API key directly in the request metadata to provide authorization.
Note: ApiKeyCredentials extends from base Credentials
class rather than
GoogleCredentials/OAuth2Credentials, as it does not provide an access token and is not considered
an OAuth2 credential.
Credentials credentials = ApiKeyCredentials.create("your api key");

getAuthenticationType
Description copied from class:Credentials
A constant string name describing the authentication technology.E.g. “OAuth2”, “SSL”. For use by the transport layer to determine whether it supports the type of authentication in the case where
Credentials.hasRequestMetadataOnly()
is false. Also serves as a debugging helper.- Specified by:
getAuthenticationType
in classCredentials
- Returns:
- The type of authentication used.
-
getRequestMetadata
Description copied from class:Credentials
Get the current request metadata in a blocking manner, refreshing tokens if required.This should be called by the transport layer on each request, and the data should be populated in headers or other context. The operation can block and fail to complete and may do things such as refreshing access tokens.
The convention for handling binary data is for the key in the returned map to end with
"-bin"
and for the corresponding values to be base64 encoded.- Specified by:
getRequestMetadata
in classCredentials
- Parameters:
uri
- URI of the entry point for the request.- Returns:
- The request metadata used for populating headers or other context.
- Throws:
IOException
- if there was an error getting up-to-date access. The exception should implementRetryable
andisRetryable()
will return true if the operation may be retried.
-
hasRequestMetadata
public boolean hasRequestMetadata()Description copied from class:Credentials
Whether the credentials have metadata entries that should be added to each request.This should be called by the transport layer to see if
Credentials.getRequestMetadata()
should be used for each request.- Specified by:
hasRequestMetadata
in classCredentials
- Returns:
- Whether or not the transport layer should call
Credentials.getRequestMetadata()
-
hasRequestMetadataOnly
public boolean hasRequestMetadataOnly()Description copied from class:Credentials
Indicates whether or not the Auth mechanism works purely by including request metadata.This is meant for the transport layer. If this is true a transport does not need to take actions other than including the request metadata. If this is false, a transport must specifically know about the authentication technology to support it, and should fail to accept the credentials otherwise.
- Specified by:
hasRequestMetadataOnly
in classCredentials
- Returns:
- Whether or not the Auth mechanism works purely by including request metadata.
-
refresh
There is no concept of refreshing an API tokens, this method is a no-op.- Specified by:
refresh
in classCredentials
- Throws:
IOException
- if there was an error getting up-to-date access.
