### Method Details

`create(name, body, x__xgafv=None)`

    Creates a ServiceAccountKey and returns it.

    Args:
      name: string, The resource name of the service account in the following format: `projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the project will infer the project from the account. The `account` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      body: object, The request body. (required)
        The object takes the form of:

    { # The service account key create request.
        "privateKeyType": "A String", # The output format of the private key. `GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_FILE` is the default output format.
        "keyAlgorithm": "A String", # Which type of key and algorithm to use for the key. The default is currently a 4K RSA key. However this may change in the future.
      }

      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Represents a service account key. A service account has two sets of key-pairs: user-managed, and system-managed. User-managed key-pairs can be created and deleted by users. Users are responsible for rotating these keys periodically to ensure security of their service accounts. Users retain the private key of these key-pairs, and Google retains ONLY the public key. System-managed key-pairs are managed automatically by Google, and rotated daily without user intervention. The private key never leaves Google's servers to maximize security. Public keys for all service accounts are also published at the OAuth2 Service Account API.
        "privateKeyData": "A String", # The private key data. Only provided in `CreateServiceAccountKey` responses.
        "validAfterTime": "A String", # The key can be used after this timestamp.
        "validBeforeTime": "A String", # The key can be used before this timestamp.
        "keyAlgorithm": "A String", # Specifies the algorithm (and possibly key size) for the key.
        "privateKeyType": "A String", # The output format for the private key. Only provided in `CreateServiceAccountKey` responses, not in `GetServiceAccountKey` or `ListServiceAccountKey` responses. Google never exposes system-managed private keys, and never retains user-managed private keys.
        "publicKeyData": "A String", # The public key data. Only provided in `GetServiceAccountKey` responses.
        "name": "A String", # The resource name of the service account key in the following format `projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account}/keys/{key}`.
      }

`delete(name, x__xgafv=None)`

    Deletes a ServiceAccountKey.

    Args:
      name: string, The resource name of the service account key in the following format: `projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account}/keys/{key}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the project will infer the project from the account. The `account` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # A generic empty message that you can re-use to avoid defining duplicated empty messages in your APIs. A typical example is to use it as the request or the response type of an API method. For instance: service Foo { rpc Bar(google.protobuf.Empty) returns (google.protobuf.Empty); } The JSON representation for `Empty` is empty JSON object `{}`.
      }

`get(name, publicKeyType=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Gets the ServiceAccountKey by key id.

    Args:
      name: string, The resource name of the service account key in the following format: `projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account}/keys/{key}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the project will infer the project from the account. The `account` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      publicKeyType: string, The output format of the public key requested. X509_PEM is the default output format.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # Represents a service account key. A service account has two sets of key-pairs: user-managed, and system-managed. User-managed key-pairs can be created and deleted by users.

        "name": "A String", # The resource name of the service account key in the following format `projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account}/keys/{key}`.
      }

`list(name, keyTypes=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Lists ServiceAccountKeys.

    Args:
      name: string, The resource name of the service account in the following format: `projects/{project}/serviceAccounts/{account}`. Using `-` as a wildcard for the project, will infer the project from the account. The `account` value can be the `email` address or the `unique_id` of the service account. (required)
      keyTypes: string, Filters the types of keys the user wants to include in the list response. Duplicate key types are not allowed. If no key type is provided, all keys are returned. (repeated)
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        { # The service account keys list response.
        "keys": [ # The public keys for the service account.
          { # Represents a service account key. A service account has two sets of key-pairs: user-managed, and system-managed. User-managed key-pairs can be created and deleted by users.
