# Identity and Access Management (IAM) API . projects . serviceAccounts . keys

## Instance Methods

Close httplib2 connections.

Creates a ServiceAccountKey.

Deletes a ServiceAccountKey. Deleting a service account key does not revoke short-lived credentials that have been issued based on the service account key.

Gets a ServiceAccountKey.

Lists every ServiceAccountKey for a service account.

Creates a ServiceAccountKey, using a public key that you provide.

### Method Details

`close()`

    Close httplib2 connections.

`create(name, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Creates a ServiceAccountKey.

    Args:
      name: string, Required. The resource name of the service account in the following format: `projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the `PROJECT_ID` will infer the project from the account. The `ACCOUNT` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      body: object, The request body.
        The object takes the form of:

    { # The service account key create request.
        "privateKeyType": "A String", # The output format of the private key. The default value is `TYPE_GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_FILE`, which is the Google Credentials File format.
        "keyAlgorithm": "A String", # Which type of key and algorithm to use for the key. The default is currently a 2K RSA key. However this may change in the future.
      }

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Represents a service account key. A service account has two sets of key-pairs: user-managed, and system-managed. User-managed key-pairs can be created and deleted by users. Users are responsible for rotating these keys periodically to ensure security of their service accounts. Users retain the private key of these key-pairs, and Google retains ONLY the public key. System-managed keys are automatically rotated by Google, and are used for signing for a maximum of two weeks. The rotation process is probabilistic, and usage of the new key will gradually ramp up and down over the key's lifetime. If you cache the public key set for a service account, we recommend that you update the cache every 15 minutes. User-managed keys can be added and removed at any time, so it is important to update the cache frequently. For Google-managed keys, Google will publish a key at least 6 hours before it is first used for signing and will keep publishing it for at least 6 hours after it was last used for signing. Public keys for all service accounts are also published at the OAuth2 Service Account API.
        "privateKeyType": "A String", # The output format for the private key. Only provided in `CreateServiceAccountKey` responses, not in `GetServiceAccountKey` or `ListServiceAccountKey` responses. Google never exposes system-managed private keys, and never retains user-managed private keys.
        "keyType": "A String", # The key type.
        "privateKeyData": "A String", # The private key data. Only provided in `CreateServiceAccountKey` responses. Make sure to keep the private key data secure because it allows for the assertion of the service account identity. When base64 decoded, the private key data can be used to authenticate with Google API client libraries and with gcloud auth activate-service-account.
        "keyAlgorithm": "A String", # Specifies the algorithm (and possibly key size) for the key.
        "name": "A String", # The resource name of the service account key in the following format `projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT}/keys/{key}`.
        "validBeforeTime": "A String", # The key can be used before this timestamp. For system-managed key pairs, this timestamp is the end time for the private key signing operation. The public key could still be used for verification for a few hours after this time.
        "publicKeyData": "A String", # The public key data. Only provided in `GetServiceAccountKey` responses.
        "validAfterTime": "A String", # The key can be used after this timestamp.
        "keyOrigin": "A String", # The key origin.
      }

`delete(name, x__xgafv=None)`

    Deletes a ServiceAccountKey. Deleting a service account key does not revoke short-lived credentials that have been issued based on the service account key.

    Args:
      name: string, Required. The resource name of the service account key in the following format: `projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT}/keys/{key}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the `PROJECT_ID` will infer the project from the account. The `ACCOUNT` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated empty messages in your APIs. A typical example is to use it as the request or the response type of an API method. For instance: service Foo { rpc Bar(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); } The JSON representation for `Empty` is empty JSON object `{}`.
      }

`get(name, publicKeyType=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Gets a ServiceAccountKey.

    Args:
      name: string, Required. The resource name of the service account key in the following format: `projects/{PROJECT_ID}/serviceAccounts/{ACCOUNT}/keys/{key}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the `PROJECT_ID` will infer the project from the account. The `ACCOUNT` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      publicKeyType: string, The output format of the public key requested. X509_PEM is the default output format.
        Allowed values
          TYPE_NONE - Unspecified. Returns nothing here.
          TYPE_X509_PEM_FILE - X509 PEM format.
          TYPE_RAW_PUBLIC_KEY - Raw public key.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format
