Google Auth Python Library

This library simplifies using Google's various server-to-server authentication mechanisms to access Google APIs.

Installing

You can install using pip:

$ pip install google-auth

For more information on setting up your Python development environment, please refer to Python Development Environment Setup Guide for Google Cloud Platform.

Extras

google-auth has few extras that you can install. For example:

$ pip install google-auth[pyopenssl]

Note that the extras pyopenssl and enterprise_cert should not be used together because they use conflicting versions of cryptography.

Supported Python Versions

Python >= 3.8

NOTE: Python 3.8 and Python 3.9 were marked as unsupported by the python community in October 2024 and October 2025, respectively. We recommend that all developers upgrade to Python 3.10 and newer as soon as they can. Support for end-of-life Python runtimes will be removed from this library in future updates. Previous releases that support end-of-life Python versions will continue to be available for download, but future releases will only target supported versions.
