Google API Client

This is the Python client library for Google's discovery based APIs. To get started, please see the docs folder.

These client libraries are officially supported by Google. However, the libraries are considered complete and are in maintenance mode. This means that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any new features.

Documentation

See the docs folder for more detailed instructions and additional documentation.

Google Cloud Platform / Google Ads

For Google Cloud Platform APIs such as Datastore, Cloud Storage or Pub/Sub, we recommend using Cloud Client Libraries for Python.

For Google Ads API, we recommend using Google Ads API Client Library for Python.
