Create a Google App Engine Project Programatically in Go

I'm trying to find a way to dynamically create a project on Google App Engine using Go following this example. However, the documentation isn't very clear (at least for me) in how to proceed to authenticate the user and the Go example goes as far as saying: 

// TODO: Fill required fields.

I also had a look at the Go Client Library Documentation which made things even more confusing to me.

Has anyone used this API before or have found a way to programatically create a project in App Engine?

When you initialize the API by calling cloudresourcemanager.New(hc), you pass an http client, that in the case of this example is authenticated by using the default credentials from the system. These credentials come from the default service account of App Engine or Compute Engine (not sure about the second though), depending on the environment you are in. If you are outside of Google Cloud, you can follow the instructions on the example:

// 2. This sample uses Application Default Credentials for authentication.
//    If not already done, install the gcloud CLI from
//    https://cloud.google.com/sdk/ and run
//    'gcloud beta auth application-default login'

If you do this, the default credentials will be taken from the user you used to log in on the command gcloud beta auth application-default login. Another possibility would be changing the code to generate the credentials by calling JWTConfigFromJson1, that would explicitly load your credentials from a json file. Here2 you can see an example of how to initialize an http client using this method.
