Google drive permanent permission

I'm working on small python script (raspberry pi + Linux) that getting filename, as script argument, and upload it to Google drive.

In order to upload file to Google drive, I'm using this tutorial: https://developers.google.com/drive/web/quickstart/quickstart-python

This script is basically working good, but, it's require manual authorization of the request - EACH time. This impossible when developing automated background task.

What I'm want to improve is to accept my application only once. From this time, all the file upload tasks will pass without security questions.

How to achieve this?

You want to follow server-side auth. Basically you store a refresh token that you receive the first time the user authorizes you, and you can use that to get new tokens without prompting the user.

See https://developers.google.com/drive/web/auth/web-server
