- [environment variables](#environment-variables). Additionally, Cloud SDK
13
- credentials can also be discovered automatically, but this is only recommended

57
- The **Credentials JSON** can be placed in environment variables instead of
58
- declaring them directly in code. Each service has its own environment variable,
59
- allowing for different service accounts to be used for different services. (See
60
- the READMEs for the individual service gems for details.) The path to the
61
- **Credentials JSON** file can be stored in the environment variable, or the
62
- **Credentials JSON** itself can be stored for environments such as Docker
63
- containers where writing files is difficult or not encouraged.
29
+ The google-analytics-data-v1beta library provides several mechanisms to configure your system.
30
+ Generally, using Application Default Credentials to facilitate automatic
31
+ credentials discovery is the easist method. But if you need to explicitly specify
32

102
 
129
- If you are not running this client within

103
+ client = ::Google::Analytics::Data::V1beta::AnalyticsData::Client.new

+ ```
132
105
 
133
- 1. Visit the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/project).
134
- 2. Create a new project or click on an existing project.
135
- 3. Activate the menu in the upper left and select **APIs & Services**. From
136
- here, you will enable the APIs that your application requires.
106
+ ### Local ADC file
137
107
 
138
- *Note: You may need to enable billing in order to use these services.*
108
+ You can set up a local ADC file with your user credentials for authentication during
109
+ development. If credentials are not provided in code or in environment variables,
110
+ then the local ADC credentials are discovered.
139
111
 
140
- 4. Select **Credentials** from the side navigation.
112
+ Follow the steps in [Quickstart](#quickstart) to set up a local ADC file.
141
113
 
142
- Find the "Create credentials" drop down near the top of the page, and select
143
- "Service account" to be guided through downloading a new JSON key file.
114
+ ### Google Cloud Platform environments
144
115
 
145
- If you want to re-use an existing service account, you can easily generate a
146
- new key file. Just select the account you wish to re-use, click the pencil
147
- tool on the right side to edit the service account, select the **Keys** tab,
148
- and then select **Add Key**.
116
+ When running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Google Compute Engine
117
+ (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google App Engine (GAE), Google Cloud
118
+ Functions (GCF) and Cloud Run, credentials are retrieved from the attached
119
+ service account automatically. Code should be written as if already authenticated.
149
120
 
150
- The key file you download will be used by this library to authenticate API
151
- requests and should be stored in a secure location.
