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();
