Install client libraries

The Resource Manager API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses.

However, the Google API client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization. The client libraries are available in a number of programming languages; by using them you can avoid the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses.

To get started, select the programming language that you are using for development.

pip (preferred):

$ pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Setuptools: Use the easy_install tool included in the setuptools package:
```
$ easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
```

Manual installation

Download the latest client library for Python, unpack the code, and run python setup.py install

App Engine

Because the Python client libraries are not installed in the App Engine Python runtime environment, they must be vendored into your application just like third-party libraries.
