createScoped(Collection<String> newScopes, Collection<String> newDefaultScopes)

public GoogleCredentials createScoped(Collection<String> newScopes, Collection<String> newDefaultScopes)

Clones the service account with the specified scopes. The Access Token is invalidated even if the same scopes are provided. Access Tokens contain information of the internal values (i.e. scope). If an internal value (scope) is modified, then the existing Access Token is no longer valid and should not be re-used.

Should be called before use for instances with empty scopes.

Returns
Type Description
ServiceAccountCredentials

getRequestMetadata(URI uri, Executor executor, RequestMetadataCallback callback)

public void getRequestMetadata(URI uri, Executor executor, RequestMetadataCallback callback)

Get the current request metadata without blocking.

This should be called by the transport layer on each request, and the data should be populated in headers or other context. The implementation can either call the callback inline or asynchronously. Either way it should never block in this method. The executor is provided for tasks that may block.

The default implementation will just call #getRequestMetadata(URI) then the callback from the given executor.

The convention for handling binary data is for the key in the returned map to end with "-bin" and for the corresponding values to be base64 encoded.
