Error Reporting client libraries

This page shows how to get started with the Cloud Client Libraries for the Error Reporting API. Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google API Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Install the client library

C#

For more information, see Setting Up a C# Development Environment.

Install-Package Google.Cloud.ErrorReporting.V1Beta1 -pre

Go

For more information, see Setting Up a Go Development Environment.

go get cloud.google.com/go/errorreporting

Java

For more information, see Setting Up a Java Development Environment.

If you are using Maven, add the following to your pom.xml file. For more information about BOMs, see The Google Cloud Platform Libraries BOM.

<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
      <artifactId>libraries-bom</artifactId>
      <version>26.16.0</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-cloud-errorreporting</artifactId>
  </dependency>

If you are using Gradle, add the following to your dependencies:

implementation 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-errorreporting:0.140.0-beta'

If you are using sbt, add the following to your dependencies:

libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-errorreporting" % "0.140.0-beta"

If you're using Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, or Eclipse, you can add client libraries to your project using the following IDE plugins:

• Cloud Code for VS Code
• Cloud Code for IntelliJ
• Cloud Tools for Eclipse

The plugins provide additional functionality, such as key management for service accounts. Refer to each plugin's documentation for details.

Node.js

For more information, see Setting Up a Node.js Development Environment.

npm install --save @google-cloud/error-reporting

PHP

For more information, see Using PHP on Google Cloud.

composer require google/cloud-error-reporting

Python

For more information, see Setting Up a Python Development Environment.

pip install --upgrade google-cloud-error-reporting

Ruby

For more information, see Setting Up a Ruby Development Environment.

gem install google-cloud-error_reporting

Set up authentication

When you use client libraries, you use Application Default Credentials (ADC) to authenticate. For information about setting up ADC, see Provide credentials for Application Default Credentials. For information about using ADC with client libraries, see Authenticate using client libraries.

Use the client library

The following example shows how to use the client library.

C#

To authenticate to Error Reporting, set up Application Default Credentials. For more information, see Set up authentication for a local development environment.
