Environment details

• OS: Darwin 18.6.0
• Python version: 3.6.5
• pip version: 19.2.3
• google-api-python-client version:1.7.8

Steps to reproduce

1. This is a clone of this issue: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/issues/645
2. My SA was made through the Using OAuth 2.0 for Server to Server Applications documentation provided as further reading to the original documentation page. I granted domain-wide access to the service account from the Servie Account panel and used that to grab the client ID.

Code:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.oauth2 import service_account

class AlertCenterExtractor:

    def __init__(self):

        # build servie and scopes
        self.scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.alerts"]
        self.credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
                "SERVICEACCOUNT.JSON", scopes=self.scopes)
        self.service = build('alertcenter', 'v1beta1', credentials=self.credentials).alerts()

    """ Gets alerts and writes them to output directory. """
    def get_alerts(self):
        recent_alerts = self.service.list(customerId="my_customer_id").execute()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    alert_center_class = AlertCenterExtractor()
    alert_center_class.get_alerts()

Making sure to follow these steps will guarantee the quickest resolution possible.

Thanks!

I have it working! I follow the google person’s comments and added in ‘subject=[e-mail]’. Small test case that works for me:

import json
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
from google.oauth2 import service_account

def main():
    scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.alerts"]
    credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file("serviceacccreds.json", subject="[e-mail]", scopes=scopes)
    service = build('alertcenter', 'v1beta1', credentials=credentials).alerts()

    recent_alerts = service.list().execute().get("alerts", [])

    print(json.dumps(recent_alerts, indent=2))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
