How do you create a google cloud project and service account using node js?

The answer lies in the REST API.

Assuming you are using Cloud Shell, first install the Node.JS client library by running:

npm install googleapis --save

To create a project, you can use the resource manager API method "projects.create" as shown in the Node.JS code sample. Replace my-project-idwith desired project ID and my-project-namedesired project name:

const {google} = require('googleapis');
var cloudResourceManager = google.cloudresourcemanager('v1');

authorize(function(authClient) {
  var request = {
    resource: {
      "projectId": "my-project-id", // TODO
      "name": "my-project-name" // TODO
    },
    auth: authClient,
  };

  cloudResourceManager.projects.create(request, function(err, response) {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  });
});

Likewise, you can use the Cloud IAM API 'projects.serviceAccounts.create' method to create service accounts. Replace my-project-idwith the project ID that the service account will be associated with, and my-service-accountthe desired service account ID:

const {google} = require('googleapis');
var iam = google.iam('v1');

authorize(function(authClient) {
  var request = {
    name: 'projects/my-project-id', // TODO
    resource: {
      "accountId": "my-service-account" // TODO
    },
    auth: authClient,
  };

  iam.projects.serviceAccounts.create(request, function(err, response) {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  });
});

Then, to enable an API or service, use the API 'services.enable' method with the service . In this case, I will enable Cloud Pub/Sub API . Replace 123with your item number:

const {google} = require('googleapis');
var serviceUsage = google.serviceusage('v1');

authorize(function(authClient) {
  var request = {
    name: "projects/123/services/pubsub.googleapis.com", // TODO
    auth: authClient,
  };

  serviceUsage.services.enable(request, function(err, response) {
    if (err) {
      console.error(err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
  });
});

Alternatively, you can use the "services.batchEnable" method to enable multiple APIs in one call. You can find the full list of APIs that can be enabled here .

You can define each call:

function authorize(callback) {
  google.auth.getClient({
    scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform']
  }).then(client => {
    callback(client);
  }).catch(err => {
    console.error('authentication failed: ', err);
  });
}

Note that you should adapt the code to your needs, simplify it, and modify or add any other parameters required by the API call.
