google-api-client
Official Ruby client libraries for accessing Google APIs via HTTP/JSON REST endpoints with authentication and request control.
What is google-api-client?
google-api-ruby-client is a collection of official Ruby client libraries for accessing Google APIs through HTTP/JSON REST endpoints. It provides automatically generated clients for various Google services, handling authentication, request retries, pagination, and timeouts. The project solves the problem of integrating with multiple Google APIs in Ruby applications with consistent, officially supported tooling.
Ruby developers building applications that need to interact with Google APIs such as Drive, Content API for Shopping, or other services where modern gRPC clients are unavailable. It's particularly useful for projects requiring broad API coverage with official support.
Developers choose this library because it offers officially supported, regularly updated clients for a wide range of Google APIs with automatic generation ensuring API compatibility. It provides a consistent authentication and request control layer across services, though Google recommends their modern clients where available for better performance and usability.
