AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'authorize' error after having moved to google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials

Environment details

• OS: Ubuntu 23
• Python version: 3.12
• pip version: 23.3.1
• google-api-python-client: 2.105.0
• google-auth: 2.23.3
• google-auth-httplib2: 0.1.1
• google-auth-oauthlib: 1.1.0

Steps to reproduce

I've been trying to upgrade my code from the deprecated oauth2client.client.OAuth2Credentials to google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials without success as I continue to get the authorize attribute error being missing despite having upgraded all the librarie. Note: Although I created a brand new environment, after the first pip install I had to upgrade some libraries as there were not aligned with the above details.

That said, after having obtained a token with a flow object, I then get a credential object via the google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials (successfully)

However, by the time I pass the credentials along with the API version and name to the discovery.build method, I get the following AttributeError message.

See below the incriminated code:

        API_SERVICE_NAME = 'searchconsole'
        API_VERSION = 'v1'

        search_console_service = discovery.build(
            API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials)

and credentials dictionary

    'token': 'redacted'
    'refresh_token': 'redacted'
    'client_id': 'redacted'
    'client_secret': 'redacted'
    'token_uri': 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token'
    'scopes': 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly'

Any idea of what's wrong? Thanks!

Hey can you share a sample that reproduces this issue? It is hard to follow the flow in this query.

Actually, ignore me. I just realised even from the small things above, that I was no longer passing the authenticated credential objects to the build method but my dictionary. Apologies for the confusion.
