Introduction

Google Cloud Introduced Apigee X The time for digital excellence is here—Introducing Apigee X. Apigee Edge and Apigee X both offer robust API management solutions, but they do have some important distinctions. Apigee Edge, the original Apigee product, has been a trusted choice for many customers. However, it is no longer an option for new purchases. Apigee X represents the latest version of the Apigee product, encompassing all the features of Apigee Edge and exciting new additions. It’s the go-to choice for new purchases. The key difference between Apigee Edge and Apigee X boils down to availability. Apigee X is readily accessible to new customers, whereas Apigee Edge is not.

Note: 1. We can use either bearer token or service account key file, if both provided bearer token takes precedence over service account file.

2. Google token email option is only available for Apigee deploy.

Generate Service Account File

service account key file is the file associated with our GCP service cloud account. We can download this file from the GCP console.

Generate Bearer Token

Access-token can be generated using the key file.

gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file ${KEY_FILE}
e.g
gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file "C:\\Users\\GCP\\demo-account-38555-c4605d668ba.json"

gcloud auth print-access-token

Note: We can use the --lifetime option on the gcloud auth print-access-token to set the expiration lifetime explicitly.

The default access token lifetime is 3600 seconds, but we can use this flag to reduce the lifetime or extend it up to 43200 seconds (12 hours).
