I would need to create a directory in a Google Cloud Bucket using Ansible. I would like to know where I can find the values to complete “gs\_secret\_key” and “gs\_access\_key” to use “gc\_storage” module in Ansible.

`

```auto
- name: Create a bucket with key as directory
  become: no
  gc_storage:
    bucket: "my-bucket-name"
    mode: "create"
    region: "US-EAST1"
    object: "/test_directory/"
    gs_access_key: "012345678901-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com"
    gs_secret_key: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIblashblah...blahblahmow=\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
    gs_access_key: "e6ablahblah...blahblahfc0"

```

`

I’m not sure about the values that I set in the Ansible script. With the current values I get an error message saying:

GSResponseError: 403 Forbidden\n`SignatureDoesNotMatch`The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your Google secret key and signing method.PUT\n\n\nWed, 10 Oct 2018 16:26:00 GMT\n/my-bucket-name/

thank you!
