To follow along with this guide, please make sure to have:
created a service account and downloaded the private key (JSON file) for authentication (please check out my detailed guide)

Checking if bucket exists on Google Cloud Storage
To check whether a bucket exists or not on Google Cloud Storage, use the Bucket.exists() method which returns a Boolean:
from google.cloud import storage
path_to_private_key = './gcs-project-354207-099ef6796af6.json'client = storage.Client.from_service_account_json(json_credentials_path=path_to_private_key)
bucket = storage.Bucket(client, 'example-bucket-skytowner')bucket.exists()
True
Here, note the following:
the credential JSON file for the service account is called
gcs-project-354207-099ef6796af6.jsonand is located in the same directory as this Python script.we are checking if the
example-bucket-skytownerbucket exists.
