Update or renew a Google Workspace subscription

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 user authentication with one or more scopes that support all event types for the subscription.

Python

1. In your working directory, create a file named update_subscription.py and add the following code:

   """Update subscription."""
   
   from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
   from googleapiclient.discovery import build
   
   # Specify required scopes.
   SCOPES = [SCOPES]
   
   # 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,
   )
   
   BODY = {
       'ttl': {'seconds': 0},
   }
   NAME = 'subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID'
   response = (
       service.subscriptions()
       .patch(name=NAME, updateMask='ttl', body=BODY)
       .execute()
   )
   print(response)
   

   Replace the following:

   • SCOPES: One or more OAuth scopes that support each event type for the subscription. Formatted as an array of strings. To list multiple scopes, separate by commas. For example, 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.spaces.readonly', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.memberships.readonly'.
   • SUBSCRIPTION_ID: The ID of the subscription. To get the ID, you can use any of the following:
     • The value of the uid field.
     • The ID of the resource name represented in the name field. For example, if the resource name is subscriptions/subscription-123, use subscription-123.

2. 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.

3. To update the Google Workspace subscription, run the following in your terminal:

   python3 update_subscription.py
