== Description

The Google API Ruby Client makes it trivial to discover and access supported
APIs.

== Example Usage

  # Initialize the client
  require 'google/api_client'
  require 'signet/oauth_1/client'
  client = Google::APIClient.new(
    :service => 'buzz',
    # Buzz has API-specific endpoints
    :authorization => Signet::OAuth1::Client.new(
      :temporary_credential_uri =>
        'https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetRequestToken',
      :authorization_uri =>
        'https://www.google.com/buzz/api/auth/OAuthAuthorizeToken',
      :token_credential_uri =>
        'https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthGetAccessToken',
      :client_credential_key => 'anonymous',
      :client_credential_secret => 'anonymous'
    )
  )
  client.authorization.fetch_temporary_credential!(
    :additional_parameters => {
      'scope' => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/buzz'
    }
  )
  redirect_uri = client.authorization.authorization_uri(
    :additional_parameters => {
      'domain' => client.authorization.client_credential_key,
      'scope' => 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/buzz'
    }
  )
  # Redirect user here
  client.authorization.fetch_token_credential!(:verifier => '12345')

  # Discover available methods
  method_names = client.discovered_api('buzz').to_h.keys

  # Make an API call
  response = client.execute(
    'chili.activities.list',
    {'scope' => '@self', 'userId' => '@me', 'alt' => 'json'}
  )
  status, headers, body = response

== Install

Be sure both http://gems.github.com/ and http://rubygems.org/ are in your gem
sources.

For normal client usage, this is sufficient:

sudo gem install google-api-client

The command line interface, the example applications, and the test suite
require additional dependencies. These may be obtained with:

sudo gem install google-api-client --development --force --no-rdoc --no-ri
