This is a plugin for Insomnia that automates creating identity tokens for making API calls to authenticated Google Cloud Run instances.
Identity tokens have a short lifetime, and it can be annoying to have to manually refresh them during development. This plugin automatically refreshes the token by executing gcloud auth print-identity-token
before each request.
Ensure you have installed the Google Cloud SDK and its bundled gcloud
command-line interface.
Create a Bearer Token authentication and add the "Google Cloud Run Identity Token" template tag as the token value.
The settings specify a default path to the gcloud
executable of ~/google-cloud-sdk/bin
. If it is somewhere else on your machine you may need to change it.
Note that this plugin has only been tested on Mac OS X.
