Google Cloud Pub/Sub: Node.js Client
Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications.
This document contains links to an API reference, samples, and other resources useful to developing Node.js applications. For additional help developing Pub/Sub applications, in Node.js and other languages, see our Pub/Sub quickstart, publisher, and subscriber guides.
A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Quickstart
Before you begin
- Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
- Enable billing for your project.
- Enable the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API.
- Set up authentication so you can access the API from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/pubsub
Using the client library
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {PubSub} = require('@google-cloud/pubsub');
async function quickstart(
projectId = 'your-project-id', // Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
topicNameOrId = 'my-topic', // Name for the new topic to create
subscriptionName = 'my-sub' // Name for the new subscription to create
) {
// Instantiates a client
const pubsub = new PubSub({projectId});
// Creates a new topic
const [topic] = await pubsub.createTopic(topicNameOrId);
console.log(`Topic ${topic.name} created.`);
// Creates a subscription on that new topic
const [subscription] = await topic.createSubscription(subscriptionName);
// Receive callbacks for new messages on the subscription
subscription.on('message', message => {
console.log('Received message:', message.data.toString());
process.exit(0);
});
// Receive callbacks for errors on the subscription
subscription.on('error', error => {
console.error('Received error:', error);
process.exit(1);
});
// Send a message to the topic
topic.publishMessage({data: Buffer.from('Test message!')});
}
Running gRPC C++ bindings
For some workflows and environments it might make sense to use the C++ gRPC implementation, instead of the default one (see: #770):
To configure @google-cloud/pubsub
to use an alternative grpc
transport:
npm install grpc
, addinggrpc
as a dependency.instantiate
@google-cloud/pubsub
withgrpc
:const {PubSub} = require('@google-cloud/pubsub'); const grpc = require('grpc'); const pubsub = new PubSub({grpc});

Supported Node.js Versions
Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.
Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:
- Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
- Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
- Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.
Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and
can be installed through npm dist-tags.
The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version)
.
For example, npm install @google-cloud/pubsub@legacy-8
installs client libraries
for versions compatible with Node.js 8.
Versioning
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
