Setting up the Google PubSub Environment

The Google Pub/Sub connector allows you to access the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API Version v1 using an integration sequence.

To work with the Google Pub/Sub connector, you need to have a Google Cloud Platform account. If you do not have a Google Cloud Platform account, go to console.cloud.google.com, and create a Google Cloud Platform trial account.

Google Pub/Sub uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization. All requests to the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API must be authorized by an authenticated user. For information on how to obtain authentication and authorization user credentials, see the following section.
