Here's how you do it in 2017:

• Go to the Service Accounts page
• Create a private key for the service account as a JSON file
• Put the downloaded file in your project (for development) or bake it in your build process

• Reference the Google.Apis.Auth package in your code

  using (var stream = new FileStream("key.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
  {
      var credential = GoogleCredential.FromStream(stream)
                                       .CreateScoped(scopes)
                                       .UnderlyingCredential as ServiceAccountCredential;
  
      //profit
  }
