This page explains how to list Google Workspace subscriptions using the
subscriptions.list()
method.
When you call this method with user authentication, the method returns a list of subscriptions authorized by the user. When you use app authentication, the method can return a list that contains any subscription for the app.
Prerequisites
Apps Script
- A Google Workspace subscription. To create one, see Create a subscription.
Requires user authentication with one or more scopes that support all event types for the subscription.
- An Apps Script project:
- Use your Google Cloud project instead of the default one created automatically by Apps Script.
- For any scopes that you added to configure the OAuth consent screen, you must also add the
scopes to the
appsscript.json
file in your Apps Script project. For example:
"oauthScopes": [ "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.messages.readonly" ]
- Enable
the
Google Workspace Events
advanced service.
Python
- Python 3.6 or greater
- The pip package management tool
- The latest Google client libraries for Python. To install or update them, run the following
command in your command-line interface:
pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-oauthlib
- A Google Workspace subscription. To create one, see Create a subscription.
Requires authentication:
- For user authentication, requires a scope that supports at least one of the event types for the subscription. To identify a scope, see Scopes by event type.
- For app authentication, requires the
chat.bot
scope (Google Chat apps only).
List subscriptions authorized by a user
To list subscriptions, you must filter by at least one event type. You can also
filter your query by one or more target resources. To learn about supported
query filters, see the list()
method
documentation.
The following code sample returns an array of
Subscription
objects
filtered by event type and target resource. When authenticated as a user, the
method only returns a list of subscriptions that the user authorized the app to
create.
To list subscriptions for a specified event type and target resource:
Apps Script
In your Apps Script project, create a new script file named
listSubscriptions
and add the following code:function listSubscriptions() { // Filter for event type (required). const eventType = 'EVENT_TYPE'; // Filter for target resource (optional). const targetResource = 'TARGET_RESOURCE'; const filter = `event_types:"${eventType}" AND target_resource="${targetResource}"` // Call the Workspace Events API using the advanced service. const response = WorkspaceEvents.Subscriptions.list({ filter }); console.log(response); }
Replace the following:
EVENT_TYPE
: An event type formatted according to the CloudEvents specification. For example, to filter for subscriptions that receive events about new memberships to a Google Chat space,google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created
.TARGET_RESOURCE
: A target resource, formatted as its full resource name. For example, to filter by subscriptions for a Google Chat space, use//chat.googleapis.com/spaces/SPACE_ID
wherespaces/SPACE_ID
represents thename
field for theSpace
resource.
To list subscriptions, run the function
listSubscriptions
in your Apps Script project.
Python
In your working directory, create a file named
list_subscriptions.py
and add the following code:"""List subscriptions.""" from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow from googleapiclient.discovery import build # Specify required scopes. SCOPES = ['SCOPE'] # Authenticate with Google Workspace and get user authentication. flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file('client_secrets.json', SCOPES) CREDENTIALS = flow.run_local_server() # Call the Workspace Events API using the service endpoint. service = build( 'workspaceevents', 'v1', credentials=CREDENTIALS, ) # Filter for event type (required). EVENT_TYPE = 'EVENT_TYPE' # Filter for target resource (optional). TARGET_RESOURCE = 'TARGET_RESOURCE' FILTER = f'event_types:"{EVENT_TYPE}" AND target_resource="{TARGET_RESOURCE}"' response = service.subscriptions().list(filter=FILTER).execute() print(response)
Replace the following:
SCOPE
: An OAuth scope that supports at least one event type from the subscription. For example, if your subscription receives events an updated Chat space,https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.spaces.readonly
.EVENT_TYPE
: An event type formatted according to the CloudEvents specification. For example, to filter for subscriptions that receive events about new memberships to a Google Chat space,google.workspace.chat.message.v1.created
.TARGET_RESOURCE
: A target resource, formatted as its full resource name. For example, to filter by subscriptions for a Google Chat space, use//chat.googleapis.com/spaces/SPACE_ID
wherespaces/SPACE_ID
represents thename
field for theSpace
resource.
In your working directory, make sure you've stored your OAuth client ID credentials and named the file
client_secrets.json
. The code sample uses this JSON file to authenticate with Google Workspace and get user credentials. For instructions, see Create OAuth client ID credentials.To list subscriptions, run the following in your terminal:
python3 list_subscriptions.py
The Google Workspace Events API returns a paginated array of Subscription
objects
that match the filter for your query.
