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

$ 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
