Documentation

The documentation for the Business Commmunications API can be found here.

Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Register with Business Messages.
2. Once registered, follow the instructions to enable the APIs for your project.

Installing the client library

npm install businesscommunications

Using the client library

function initClientLibrary(serviceAccountFile) {
  // Get the GoogleAPI library
  const {google} = require('googleapis');
  const businesscommunications = require('businesscommunications');

  // Set the scope that we need for the Business Communications API
  const scopes = [
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/businesscommunications',
  ];

  // Set the private key to the service account file
  const privatekey = require(serviceAccountFile);

  // Configure a JWT auth client
  let authClient = new google.auth.JWT(
    privatekey.client_email,
    null,
    privatekey.private_key,
    scopes,
  );

  // Initialize the client library
  let bcApi = new businesscommunications.businesscommunications_v1.Businesscommunications({}, google);

  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    // Authenticate request
    authClient.authorize(function(err, tokens) {
      if (err) {
        console.log('Error initiatizing library.');
      } else {
        resolve({authClient: authClient, bcApi: bcApi});
      }
    });
  });
}

// Authenticate with the API using a service account key file and
// create a test brand
const apiConnector = initClientLibrary('your-service-account-key-file-location');
apiConnector.then((apiObject) => {
  // Setup the parameters for the API call
  const apiParams = {
    auth: apiObject.authClient,
    resource: {
      displayName: 'Test Brand',
    },
  };

  // Create a new brand with the name "Test Brand"
  apiObject.bcApi.brands.create(apiParams, {}, (err, response) => {
    if (err !== undefined && err !== null) {
      console.log('Error creating brand: ' + err);
    } else {
      // Print newly created brand details
      console.log(response.data);
    }
  });
});

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is 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 GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
