# Description
## Description
The Google API Ruby Client makes it trivial to discover and access supported
APIs.
# Example Usage
# Initialize the client & Google+ API
require 'google/api_client'
client = Google::APIClient.new
plus = client.discovered_api('plus')
# Initialize OAuth 2.0 client
client.authorization.client_id = '<CLIENT_ID_FROM_API_CONSOLE>'
client.authorization.client_secret = '<CLIENT_SECRET>'
client.authorization.scope = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me'
# Request authorization
redirect_uri = client.authorization.authorization_uri
# Wait for authorization code then exchange for token
client.authorization.code = '....'
client.authorization.fetch_access_token!
# Make an API call
result = client.execute(
:api_method => plus.activities.list'
:parameters => {'collection' => 'public', 'userId' => 'me'}
)
puts result.data
# Install
## Install
Be sure `http://rubygems.org/` is in your gem sources.

## API Features
### API Discovery
To take full advantage of the client, load API definitions prior to use. To load an API:
urlshortener = client.discovered_api('urlshortener')
Specific versions of the API can be loaded as well:
drive = client.discovered_api('drive', 'v2')
Locally cached discovery documents may be used as well. To load an API from a local file:
doc = File.read('my-api.json')
my_api = client.register_discovery_document('myapi', 'v1', doc)
### Authorization
Most interactions with Google APIs require users to authorize applications via OAuth 2.0. The client library uses [Signet](https://github.com/google/signet) to handle most aspects of authorization. For additional details about Google's OAuth support, see [Google Developers](https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2).
Credentials can be managed at the connection level, as shown, or supplied on a per-request basis when calling `execute`.
For server-to-server interactions, like those between a web application and Google Cloud Storage, Prediction, or BigQuery APIs, use service accounts. Assertions for service accounts are made with `Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter`.
client = Google::APIClient.new
key = Google::APIClient::PKCS12.load_key('client.p12', 'notasecret')
service_account = Google::APIClient::JWTAsserter(
'123456-abcdef@developer.gserviceaccount.com',
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/prediction',
key)
client.authorization = service_account.authorize
### Batching Requests
Some Google APIs support batching requests into a single HTTP request. Use `Google::APIClient::BatchRequest`
to bundle multiple requests together.
Example:
client = Google::APIClient.new
urlshortener = client.discovered_api('urlshortner')
batch = Google::APIClient::BatchRequest.new do |result|
puts result.data
end
batch.add(:api_method=>urlshortener.url.insert,
:body_object => { 'longUrl' => 'http://example.com/foo' })
batch.add(:api_method=>urlshortener.url.insert,
:body_object => { 'longUrl' => 'http://example.com/bar' })
client.execute(batch)
Blocks for handling responses can be specified either at the batch level or when adding an individual API call. For example:
batch.add(:api_method=>urlshortener.url.insert, :body_object => { 'longUrl' => 'http://example.com/bar' }) do |result|
puts result.data
end
### Media Upload
For APIs that support file uploads, use `Google::APIClient::UploadIO` to load the stream. Both multipart and resumable
uploads can be used. For example, to upload a file to Google Drive using multipart
drive = client.discovered_api('drive', 'v2')
media = Google::APIClient::UploadIO.new('mymovie.m4v', 'video/mp4')
metadata = {
'title' => 'My movie',
'description' => 'The best home movie ever made'
}
client.execute(:api_method => drive.files.insert,
:parameters => { 'uploadType' => 'multipart' },
:body_object => metadata,
:media => media )
To use resumable uploads, change the `uploadType` parameter to `resumable`. To check the status of the upload
and continue if necessary, check `result.resumable_upload`.
client.execute(:api_method => drive.files.insert,
:parameters => { 'uploadType' => 'resumable' },
:body_object => metadata,
:media => media )
upload = result.resumable_upload
# Resume if needed
if upload.resumable?
client.execute(upload)
end
