gcloud auth print-access-token

NAME
gcloud auth print-access-token - print an access token for the specified account
SYNOPSIS
gcloud auth print-access-token [ACCOUNT] [--lifetime=LIFETIME] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
Print an access token for the specified account. See RFC6749 for more information about access tokens.

Note that token itself may not be enough to access some services. If you use the token with curl or similar tools, you may see permission errors similar to "API has not been used in project 32555940559 before or it is disabled.". If it happens, you may need to provide a quota project in the "X-Goog-User-Project" header. For example,

curl -H "X-Goog-User-Project: your-project" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" foo.googleapis.com

The identity that granted the token must have the serviceusage.services.use permission on the provided project. See https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/system-parameters for more information.

EXAMPLES
To print access tokens:
gcloud auth print-access-token
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
[ACCOUNT]
Account to get the access token for. If not specified, the current active account will be used.
FLAGS
--lifetime=LIFETIME
Access token lifetime. The default access token lifetime is 3600 seconds, but you can use this flag to reduce the lifetime or extend it up to 43200 seconds (12 hours). The org policy constraint constraints/iam.allowServiceAccountCredentialLifetimeExtension must be set if you want to extend the lifetime beyond 3600 seconds. Note that this flag is for service account impersonation only, so it must be used together with the --impersonate-service-account flag.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.
