+# Transfer Service sample using Python
+
+This app creates two types of transfers using the Transfer Service tool.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Set up a project on Google Developers Console.
+  1. Go to the [Developers Console](https://cloud.google.com/console) and create or select your project.
+     You will need the project ID later.
+1. Within Developers Console, select APIs & auth > Credentials.
+  1. Add a new JSON key credential for a service account.
+  1. Set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to point to your JSON key.
+1. Add the Storage Transfer service account, cloud-mobility@system.gserviceaccount.com as an
+   editor of your project.
+1. Set up gcloud for application default credentials.
+  1. `gcloud components update`
+  1. `gcloud auth login`
+  1. `gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID`
+1. Install [Google API Client Library for Python](https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/start/installation).
+
+## Transfer from Amazon S3 to Google Cloud Storage
+
+Creating a one-time transfer from Amazon S3 to Google Cloud Storage.
+1. Set up data sink.
+  1. Go to the Developers Console and create a bucket under Cloud Storage > Storage Browser.
+1. Set up data source.
+  1. Go to AWS Management Console and create a bucket.
+  1. Under Security Credentials, create an IAM User with access to the bucket.
+  1. Create an Access Key for the user. Note the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.
+1. In aws_request.py, fill in the Transfer Job JSON template with relevant values.
+1. Run with `python aws_request.py`
+  1. Note the job ID in the returned Transfer Job.
+
+## Transfer data from a standard Cloud Storage bucket to a Cloud Storage Nearline bucket
+
+Creating a daily transfer from a standard Cloud Storage bucket to a Cloud Storage Nearline
+bucket for files untouched for 30 days.
+1. Set up data sink.
+  1. Go to the Developers Console and create a bucket under Cloud Storage > Storage Browser.
+  1. Select Nearline for Storage Class.
+1. Set up data source.
+  1. Go to the Developers Console and create a bucket under Cloud Storage > Storage Browser.
+1. In nearline_request.py, fill in the Transfer Job JSON template with relevant values.
+1. Run with `python nearline_request.py`
+  1. Note the job ID in the returned Transfer Job.
+
+## Checking the status of a transfer
+
+1. In transfer_check.py, fill in the Transfer Job JSON template with relevant values.
+   Use the Job Name you recorded earlier.
+1. Run with `python transfer_check.py`
