Getting authorization token-key for my google service account

I actually want to reply my google play app's comments using this api: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/reply-to-reviews#gaining_access But in here, it wants me to enter auth_token. First i added service account to my google play. After that, i created a key and i downloaded the json file for my key. Using this json file i tried to get auth. token but output of this code tells me that credentials are invalid and token is "none". I wanna solve this problem. Thanks.

from google.oauth2 import service_account
import googleapiclient.discovery

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform',
          'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token',
          'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth',
          'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs',
          'https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/myusername.gserviceaccount.com']
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE = 'service.json'

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
        SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE, scopes=SCOPES)

print(credentials._token_uri)
print(dir(credentials))
print(credentials.valid)
print(credentials.token)

Resources that i researched:

https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2#serviceaccount https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/service-account#python_1 https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/reply-to-reviews#gaining_access

Note: Also people are sending their API requests like this:

service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=credentials)

For example above code is for sending api request for google drive. How can i api for my purpose? For example i wanna access google play api using "build".

The key to the build method is that first it takes the API then it takes the version of the api you want to access followed by your credentials.

service = build('drive', 'v3', credentials=credentials)

If you check Discovery services you will find a list of all google apis

The entry for android publisher is as follows

 {
      "kind": "discovery#directoryItem",
      "id": "androidpublisher:v3",
      "name": "androidpublisher",
      "version": "v3",
      "title": "Google Play Android Developer API",
      "description": "Lets Android application developers access their Google Play accounts.",
      "discoveryRestUrl": "https://androidpublisher.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v3",
      "icons": {
        "x16": "https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/product/1x/googleg_16dp.png",
        "x32": "https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/product/1x/googleg_32dp.png"
      },
      "documentationLink": "https://developers.google.com/android-publisher",
      "preferred": true
    },

Which means that the following should be what you are looking for.

service = build('androidpublisher', 'v3', credentials=credentials)
