NAME
    gcloud auth print-access-token - print an access token for the specified
        account

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud auth print-access-token [ACCOUNT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    Print an access token for the specified account. See RFC6749
    (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749) for more information about access
    tokens.

    Note that token itself may not be enough to access some services. If you
    use the token with curl or similar tools, you may see permission errors
    similar to "API has not been used in project 32555940559 before or it is
    disabled.". If it happens, you may need to provide a quota project in the
    "X-Goog-User-Project" header. For example,

        $ curl -H "X-Goog-User-Project: your-project" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
            foo.googleapis.com

    The identity that granted the token must have the serviceusage.services.use
    permission on the provided project. See
    https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/system-parameters for more information.

EXAMPLES
    To print access tokens:

        $ gcloud auth print-access-token

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     [ACCOUNT]
        Account to get the access token for. If not specified, the current
        active account will be used.
