For future reference, here's the HTTP/REST documentation for the Cloud APIs: https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/overview

E.g. for the GKE API: https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/reference/rest/

(For people that rather use an existing library, this lets you pick one of 7 languages and start from there: https://cloud.google.com/docs/ )

Yes, but that doesn't deal with authentication. My problem was getting the JWT stuff working. The solution ended up being: https://gist.github.com/arohner/8d94ee5704b1c0c1b206186525d9...

Ah, yeah, coding the OAuth2 flow in a new language (vs using an existing library) is tricky, at the very least because OAuth2 itself is complex. The best docs I know for that are here https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2Servi... (we should link to it from the docs of the Cloud APIs).

From a glimpse, what's said there matches what your code is doing, so thanks a lot for sharing it!
