Package description

What is googleapis-common?

The googleapis-common npm package provides common utilities and types for Google API clients. It is used internally by other Google API client libraries to handle common tasks such as authentication, request handling, and response parsing.

What are googleapis-common's main functionalities?

Authentication

This feature allows you to authenticate with Google APIs using the GoogleAuth class. The code sample demonstrates how to create an instance of GoogleAuth, obtain a client, and retrieve the project ID.

const { GoogleAuth } = require('googleapis-common');
const auth = new GoogleAuth({
  scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform'],
});

async function authenticate() {
  const client = await auth.getClient();
  const projectId = await auth.getProjectId();
  console.log(`Authenticated with project ID: ${projectId}`);
}
authenticate();

Request Handling

This feature provides a way to handle API requests using the createAPIRequest function. The code sample shows how to set up the parameters for a GET request to a hypothetical Google API endpoint and handle the response.

const { createAPIRequest } = require('googleapis-common');

async function makeRequest() {
  const parameters = {
    options: {
      url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/someapi/v1/resource',
      method: 'GET',
    },
    params: {},
    requiredParams: [],
    pathParams: [],
    context: {},
  };

  const response = await createAPIRequest(parameters);
  console.log(response.data);
}
makeRequest();

Response Parsing

This feature allows you to parse responses from Google API requests. The code sample demonstrates how to make a request and parse the response data.

const { createAPIRequest } = require('googleapis-common');

async function parseResponse() {
  const parameters = {
    options: {
      url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/someapi/v1/resource',
      method: 'GET',
    },
    params: {},
    requiredParams: [],
    pathParams: [],
    context: {},
  };

  const response = await createAPIRequest(parameters);
  const data = response.data;
  console.log(`Parsed data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}`);
}
parseResponse();

Google APIs Common Module: Node.js Client

release level npm version codecov

A common tooling library used by the googleapis npm module. You probably don't want to use this directly.

A comprehensive list of changes in each version may be found in the CHANGELOG.

Quickstart

Installing the client library

npm install googleapis-common

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targetting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

  • Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
  • Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
  • Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.
Legacy tags available
  • legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

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.
