This page shows how to get started with the Cloud Client Libraries for the Backup and DR API. Client libraries make it easier to access Google Cloud APIs from a supported language. Although you can use Google Cloud APIs directly by making raw requests to the server, client libraries provide simplifications that significantly reduce the amount of code you need to write.
Read more about the Cloud Client Libraries and the older Google API Client Libraries in Client libraries explained.
Install the client library
C++
See Setting up a C++ development environment for details about this client library's requirements and install dependencies.
C#
If you are using Visual Studio 2017 or later, open the NuGet package manager window and type the following:Install-Package Google.Apis
If you are using .NET Core command-line interface tools to install your dependencies, run the following command:
dotnet add package Google.Apis
For more information, see Setting Up a C# Development Environment.
Go
go get -d google.golang.org/api/...
For more information, see Setting Up a Go Development Environment.
Java
Note that the Google API Client Library for Java does not currently support Android.If you are using Maven, add this to your
pom.xmlfile:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.api-client</groupId>
<artifactId>google-api-client</artifactId>
<version>1.22.0</version>
</dependency>
If you are using Gradle, add this to your dependencies:
compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.22.0'
If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies:
libraryDependencies += "com.google.api-client" % "google-api-client" % "1.22.0"
For more information, see Setting Up a Java Development Environment.
Node.js
npm install --save googleapis
For more information, see Setting Up a Node.js Development Environment.
PHP
composer require google/apiclient
For more information, see Using PHP on Google Cloud.
Python
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
For more information, see Setting Up a Python Development Environment.
Ruby
gem install google-api-client
For more information, see Setting Up a Ruby Development Environment.
Set up authentication
To authenticate calls to Google Cloud APIs, client libraries support Application Default Credentials (ADC); the libraries look for credentials in a set of defined locations and use those credentials to authenticate requests to the API. With ADC, you can make credentials available to your application in a variety of environments, such as local development or production, without needing to modify your application code.For production environments, the way you set up ADC depends on the service and context. For more information, see Set up Application Default Credentials.
