Publishing to Google pubsub as a JSON through an http request

I was trying to push some data to PUB/SUB as mentioned here

I assume, the URL "POST https://pubsub.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject-id/topics/mytopic-name:publish" with needed data in a json format as described , would publish the data to the pubsub. Is my assumption correct here? or should I write my own handler to publish the data which i get from a webpage using java/php/python etc?

I could successfully push the data through google play ground. But this requires my username/password to be given to authenticate.

Can I use API_KEY alone here to send the data from my webpage to google pubsub? Or should I go for OAuth2.0 login? If OAuth is used, is there any way to provide the client_id and the API_KEY to do the authentication without prompting the user to enter credentials?

Any help on the above topics would be really appreciated.

Thanks

You might be better off using one of the client libraries with a service account. This will make authentication straightforward, by setting the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable. If you cannot do this for some reason, you can set the Authorization: Bearer header with an OAuth token as shown here.
