This page shows how to get started with the Cloud Client Libraries for the Text-to-Speech 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 higher, open 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 cloud.google.com/go/texttospeech/apiv1
For more information, see Setting Up a Go Development Environment.
Java
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.
If you are using Gradle, add the following to your dependencies:
If you are using sbt, add the following to your dependencies:
If you're using Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, or Eclipse, you can add client libraries to your project using the following IDE plugins:
The plugins provide additional functionality, such as key management for service accounts. Refer to each plugin's documentation for details.
For more information, see Setting Up a Java Development Environment.
Node.js
npm install --save @google-cloud/text-to-speech
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-cloud-texttospeech
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.
For a local development environment, you can set up ADC with the credentials that are associated with your Google Account:
-
After installing the Google Cloud CLI, configure the gcloud CLI to use your federated identity and then initialize it by running the following command:
gcloud init
-
Create local authentication credentials for your user account:
gcloud auth application-default login
If an authentication error is returned, confirm that you have configured the gcloud CLI to use Workforce Identity Federation.
A sign-in screen appears. After you sign in, your credentials are stored in the local credential file used by ADC.
