## What it is
A repository of generated Elixir client libraries for accessing Google APIs, published as individual packages on hex.pm (e.g., google_api_storage, google_api_drive, google_api_big_query). The repository has been formally archived and is no longer actively maintained.

## Use cases
- call Google Drive API from an Elixir app
- upload and download files from Google Cloud Storage in Elixir
- query BigQuery from a Phoenix application
- publish and consume Pub/Sub messages in Elixir
- read and write Google Sheets programmatically
- send email via the Gmail API in Elixir
- authenticate to Google Cloud with service account credentials

## When to choose
- you need an Elixir client for a specific Google API and are comfortable with unmaintained code
- your project already depends on these hex packages and you only need minor updates
- you want lightweight, generated API clients without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need ongoing support, bug fixes, or coverage of new Google API features
- you require guaranteed compatibility with new Elixir/OTP versions
- you are starting a new long-term project on Google Cloud with Elixir

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, sdk, auth
- domain: apis, cloud-computing, developer-tools
- platform: elixir, cross-platform
- tags: google-apis, google-cloud, generated-clients, oauth2, hex-packages, deprecated
