* a) follow the steps in [this guide](https://gspread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2.html) all the way up until step 8. You should have downloaded a file called `service_account.json` and should save it in the `secrets/` folder
* b) run the following script to automatically generate the file:
```{code} bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bellingcat/auto-archiver/refs/heads/main/scripts/generate_google_services.sh)"
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bellingcat/auto-archiver/refs/heads/main/scripts/generate_google_services.sh | bash -s --
```
This uses gcloud to create a new project, a new user and downloads the service account automatically for you. The service account file will have the name `service_account-XXXXXXX.json` where XXXXXXX is a random 16 letter/digit string for the project created.
```{note}
To save the generated file to a different folder, pass an argument as follows:
```{code} bash
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bellingcat/auto-archiver/refs/heads/main/scripts/generate_google_services.sh | bash -s -- /path/to/secrets
```
----------
Once you've downloaded the file, you can save it to `secrets/service_account.json` (the default name), or to another file and then change the location in the settings (see step 4).
Also make sure to **note down** the email address for this service account. You'll need that for step 3.
