Using the client library

• Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

• Enable billing for your project.

• Enable the Google Cloud Asset Inventory API.

• Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

• Install the client library:

   npm install --save @google-cloud/asset
  

• Try an example:

  const asset = require('@google-cloud/asset');
  const client = new asset.v1beta1.AssetServiceClient({
    // optional auth parameters.
  });

  // Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
  const projectId = await client.getProjectId();
  const projectResource = client.projectPath(projectId);

  // var dumpFilePath = 'Dump file path, e.g.: gs://<my_bucket>/<my_asset_file>'
  const outputConfig = {
    gcsDestination: {
      uri: dumpFilePath,
    },
  };
  const request = {
    parent: projectResource,
    outputConfig: outputConfig,
  };

  // Handle the operation using the promise pattern.
  const [operation] = await client.exportAssets(request);
  // Operation#promise starts polling for the completion of the operation.
  const [result] = await operation.promise();
  // Do things with with the response.
  console.log(result);

The Cloud Asset Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.
