Sidenote: around half/a third of the article is on how to deal with Google IAM Auth. This is one of the things that puts me back the most from the modern Big Cloud and keeps me on Heroku, that it's such a behemoth of services and combination that you need such a complex setup for a very "simple" tool.
I like/prefer it a lot when you can simply put up a script, press 3 buttons and voila you have a fully working url. Even Google used to do that, I've built two libraries around Google's services, npm's `translate`[1] and `drive-db`[2], the former I no longer test on Google Translate even though it's supposed to be supported and the later it's using a more obscure plain JSON API to avoid Google Auth.
