## What it is
The official Google APIs Client Library for .NET, providing access to Google APIs such as Drive, YouTube, Calendar, Storage, and Analytics with OAuth2.0 support. Strongly-typed per-API libraries are generated from Google's Discovery API and distributed as NuGet packages.

## Use cases
- access google drive api from c#
- upload videos to youtube from .net
- read google calendar events in dotnet
- authenticate with oauth2 for google apis in c#
- call google analytics api from .net
- use google storage api in c#

## When to choose
- you need to call Google consumer APIs like Drive, YouTube, or Calendar from .NET
- you want strongly-typed, generated client libraries for Google REST APIs
- you need OAuth2.0 authentication against Google services in .NET

## When to avoid
- you are working with Google Cloud Platform APIs like Datastore or Pub/Sub - use the Cloud Client Libraries for .NET instead
- you target Silverlight, UWP, Xamarin, or Unity, which are unsupported
- you need a library with active feature development - this one is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, auth, sdk
- domain: apis, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: google-apis, oauth2, nuget, rest-client, generated-code
