I have lately been experimenting around (as a noob!) with Webhook. However, I seem to be stuck with an "actions-on-google:error No user object" issue.
Would appreciate if you could reach out and lend a hand please.
firebase log
index.js
The inline editor uses Firebase Cloud Functions and the issue is that Firebase isn't allowing you to make external requests ( EXT_PRAYER_TIME_API_URL = ...) with the current plan (see Cloud Function Pricing). You need to setup a billing account with your project and change your plan to one that allows you to make outbound requests.

I would like to quickly list all Google Cloud projects in an organization, without AppScript folders.
gcloud projects list can be very slow. This documentation is about speeding it up, but does not show how to retrieve the Appscript folder which is used for filtering. Can that be done from the command line?
Also, gcloud projects list does not have a way to filter by organization. It seems that that is impossible as projects are not linked to their organization except through a tree of folders.
The documentation shows a way of walking the tree, apparently with Resource Manager API, which might do the job, but only pseudocode is shown. How can this be done with gcloud -- or else with Python or another language?
And if there is no way to accelerate this: How do I page through results using gcloud projects list? The documentation shows that page-size can be set, but does not show how to step through page by page (presumably by sending a page number with each command).
See also below for a reference to code I wrote that is the imperfect but best solution I could find.
Unfortunately there isn’t a native Apps Script resource available to work with Cloud Resource Manager API.
Although, it is possible to make a HTTP call directly to the Resource Manager API projects.list() endpoint with the help of UrlFetchApp service.
Alternatively, using Python as mentioned, the recommended Google APIs client library for python supports calls to Resource Manager API. You can find the specific projects.list() method documentation here.
On additional note, if you happen to use a Cloud project to generate credentials and authenticate the API call, you may want to enable Cloud Resource Manager API on your project by following this URL.
I’d also recommend submitting a new Feature Request using this template.
Here is some code that lists projects in an organization as quickly as possible. It is in Clojure, but it uses Java APIs and you can translate it easily.
Key steps
Query all accessible projects using CloudResourceManager projects(), using setQuery to accelerate the query by filtering out, for example, the hundreds of sys- projects often generated by AppScript. The query uses paging.
From the results
Accept those that are the child of the desired org
Reject those that are the child of another org.
For those that are the child of a folder, do this (concurrently, for speed): Use gcloud projects get-ancestors $PROJECT_ID to find the projects in your organization. (I don't see a way to do that in Java, and so I call the CLI.)
Hey Respected Community!
I started learning to create google actions.
so i created very basic google action. which invokes by 'hey google talk to Doctor Strange'
and after adding 1 more transition which displays suggestion. I saved it and trying to test it.
but continously getting error.
cloud function deployment failed.
i am continously trying to test it but getting error.
Can anyone help me what i am missing?
thanks in advance
As you surmise in your comments, using the Inline Editor for the webhook fulfillment requires you to have billing enabled for the cloud project it is attached to. (This is because it uses Cloud Functions for Firebase under the hood, and this requires billing to be enabled, even if you limit yourself to the free tier.)
You don't need to use the Inline Editor, or even Google Cloud Functions, for your webhook. All you need is a public HTTPS server that can accept and respond with JSON.
I would like to load data to my db hosted on GKE, using cloud function (small ETL needs, Cloud function would be great for that case)
I'm working in the same region. my GKE has an internal load balancer exposing an gcloud internal IP.
the method called is working perfectly when it's from Appengine but when doing it with cloud function I have an connexion error : "can't find client at IP"
I would like to know if it is possible ?
if so, what would be the procedure ?
Many thanks !!

We just released this feature to Beta. You can get started by following our docs:
https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/connecting-vpc https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/connecting-vpc
https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/configure-serverless-vpc-access
This is not currently possible as of today.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36859738
Thanks for your feedback.
You are totally right. At the moment the instances are only able to receive such requests via the external IP [1].
I have filed a feature request in your behalf so that this functionality might be considered for future deployments. I cannot guarantee this will be implemented or provide an E.T.A. Nevertheless, rest assured that your feedback is always seriously taken.
We also reached out to our Google Cloud representative who confirmed this was a highly requested feature that was being looked at but was unable to provide an ETA as when it would be released.
First I apologize if I'm a dolt and am missing something obvious, but I've spent a few hours scouring documentation and am lost.
I'm trying to write a python script that will upload a bunch of images to a single user's Google Drive. The user already exists and will never change. I am not writing a web app and don't plan to use any user interface whatsoever. Everything will be done through code.
As best I can understand from the Google documentation, I have two choices:
1) Write a web app and register it to use the Drive DSK. This of course requires having urls and such for the web app.
2) Create a service account, which ties my "app" to a new service account email.
Neither of these options works for me. Is there any way to simply log in to a single user account and access their drive through python scripting?
There is a deprecated API called ClientLogin that would enable you to use the username and password for a login to access that Drive data.
But the basic idea is that you should be using something more secure -- from your users' point of view -- that allows them to authorize you without giving you their password.
For your use case it is possible that the user is you or someone you know and that you are accessing their account through a more personal kind of authorization. In that case, ClientLogin may be your best choice. If this is an application designed to be used by arbitrary users, the deprecation of ClientLogin is for a good reason and I would urge you to bite the bullet and choose one of the supported options.
The correct solution is to separate the authorization phase from the access phase. The authorization process needs to be run one time only, and can be done from a simple web site. The result of this is a refresh token which is analogous to a username/password. You will need to be aware of the security implications. Make sure you only grant drive.file scope to minimise the impact of a security breach.
Since you are uploading images, you might also want to look at the picassa api.
I have a general comprehension question about OAuth access token retrieval for a Google Chrome Extension.
I have a popup HTML window in the browser that uses Jquery to request data from the server (a LAMP stack on AWS). The data is presented by PHP scripts which access a MySQL database. All very basic stuff.
I now want to implement a push messaging system using Google Cloud Messaging to alert users of new content that they can check. However I don't really understand where I should request the access token and how to listen for the response. I figure it should be in the PHP scripts but all the Google documentation that I've read states the user has to be present in order to allow access to push messaging. That tells me I should put it in the JavaScript but I feel this is a bad idea because every user could potentially request an access token when I think I only need one every 3000 seconds or so. If my app was completely implemented in PHP I'm sure this would be possible and now I'm worried that splitting it up like this leaves push messaging out of the question. Am I missing a crucial detail or just out of luck?
If the data access you need isn't user-specific, then you're right, there's no good reason to get a separate token for each user. Check out https://developers.google.com/accounts/cookbook/roles/Apps which discusses some options.
