How to Upload an mp3 File Produced with AudioStack to Google Drive
In this example we show you how to upload an mp3 file produced with AudioStack to Google Drive.
First create the mp3 file
- Before you start this tutorial you'll need to create a mp3 file with the API - you can look at How to Add Multiple Speakers to a Single Script for one example but there's plenty of others throughout the docs.
Download the file to your folder
- Create a folder to run the following script. And make sure your folder has the mp3 file in it.
- All Python installation stuff is out of scope for this tutorial. However if you get stuck it might be a good idea to check https://nuthanmurarysetty.medium.com/troubleshooting-python-package-installation-errors-92c30de9e59e for advice
Install the packages you need
Sure! Below is a Python script that demonstrates how to upload a file to Google Drive using the Google
Drive API. This script uses the google-auth
, google-auth-oauthlib
, google-auth-httplib2
, and
googleapiclient
libraries, which you need to install if you haven't already:
pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-api-python-client
Connect to Google Cloud/Google Drive.
Steps to Use the Script:
Create a Google Cloud Project:
-
Go to the Google Cloud Console. Google Cloud Console
-
Create a new project.
-
Enable the Google Drive API for this project.
-
Set Up OAuth 2.0 Client IDs:
In the Google Cloud Console, go to the "Credentials" page.
- Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID. For the application type, choose "Desktop app".
- Download the credentials.json file and place it in the same directory as your script.
Some things to watch out for
When you run the script for the first time, it will open a browser window for you to log in with your Google account and authorize the application.
The script will save the authorization token in a file named token.json, which will be used for subsequent runs.
File path name
Make sure to replace 'your_file_path_here' with the path to the file you want to upload and update the MIME type accordingly.
Here is the script
You'll need to run this script if everything above is created correctly.
import os
import google.auth
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from googleapiclient.http import MediaFileUpload
# If modifying these SCOPES, delete the file token.json.
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file']
def authenticate():
"""Shows basic usage of the Drive v3 API.
Prints the names and ids of the first 10 files the user has access to.
"""
creds = None
# The file token.json stores the user's access and refresh tokens, and is
# created automatically when the authorization flow completes for the first
# time.
if os.path.exists('token.json'):
creds, _ = google.auth.load_credentials_from_file('token.json', SCOPES)
# If there are no (valid) credentials available, let the user log in.
if not creds or not creds.valid:
if creds and creds.expired and creds.refresh_token:
creds.refresh(Request())
else:
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
'credentials.json', SCOPES)
creds = flow.run_local_server(port=0)
# Save the credentials for the next run
with open('token.json', 'w') as token:
token.write(creds.to_json())
return creds
def upload_file(service, file_path, mime_type):
file_metadata = {'name': os.path.basename(file_path)}
media = MediaFileUpload(file_path, mimetype=mime_type)
file = service.files().create(body=file_metadata,
media_body=media,
fields='id').execute()
print(f"File ID: {file.get('id')}")
def main():
creds = authenticate()
service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=creds)
file_path = 'media_file_example.mp3' # Update this to the file you want to upload
mime_type = 'application/octet-stream' # Update this to the correct MIME type
upload_file(service, file_path, mime_type)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
You'll see in your Google drive home the file you uploded
