Authenticate to a Cloud Storage Provider

This function is primarily used internally by other functions to establish authentication with specified cloud providers such as Google Cloud Services (GCS) or Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Usage

cloud_storage_authenticate(provider, options)

Arguments

provider

A character string specifying the cloud provider ("gcs" or "aws").

options

A named list of options specific to the cloud provider (see details).

Details

For GCS, the options list must include:

• service_account_key: The contents of the authentication JSON file from your Google Project.

This function wraps googleCloudStorageR::gcs_auth() to handle GCS authentication.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
authentication_details <- readLines("path/to/json_file.json")
cloud_storage_authenticate("gcs", list(service_account_key = authentication_details))
#'
} # }
