== 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
