gapi

A Node.js implementation of the "JavaScript Client Library for Google APIs - Alpha version"

Installation

To install gapi locally, use npm:

$ npm install gapi

To install gapi globally, use npm:

$ npm install -g gapi

Usage

Include gapi

var gapi = require('gapi');

To get started, set your API key with gapi.server.setApiKey():

gapi.server.setApiKey('YOUR_API_KEY');

You can then use gapi.server.load('API_NAME', 'API_VERSION', CALLBACK) to load the API you wish to use:

gapi.server.load('plus','v1',function(){});

Inside your load callback, you can generate your requests using the gapi.server.API_NAME.NAMESPACE.FUNCTION(OPTIONS) pattern:

var request = gapi.server.plus.people.get({userId: '102147307918874735077'});

To execute your request, you can call REQUEST.execute(CALLBACK(RESPONSE)):

request.execute(function(resp){});

The response of the callback is a JSON object that you can work with:

res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end(JSON.stringify(resp));

Putting it all together:

gapi.server.setApiKey('YOUR_API_KEY');
gapi.server.load('plus','v1',function(){
	var request = gapi.server.plus.people.get({userId: '102147307918874735077'});
	request.execute(function(resp){
		res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
		res.end(JSON.stringify(resp));
	});
});
