Auto-generated Go client libraries for Google APIs, produced from the Google Discovery Service's JSON descriptions. It provides typed clients for hundreds of Google APIs (Sheets, Docs, Drive, etc.) with built-in authentication via Application Default Credentials, API keys, or OAuth.

Use cases

  • call Google Sheets API from Go
  • authenticate to Google APIs with service account key files
  • read and edit Google Docs programmatically
  • use Google Drive API in a Go application
  • access Google Workspace APIs from a backend service
  • query YouTube or Calendar APIs from Go

When to choose

  • you need to call a non-Cloud Google API (Workspace, YouTube, Calendar) from Go
  • you want officially supported, auto-generated typed clients
  • you need flexible Google auth options (ADC, API key, service account, OAuth)

When to avoid

  • you are working with Google Cloud Platform services like Datastore or Pub/Sub - use google-cloud-go instead
  • you need a hand-crafted idiomatic client with new features, since this is in maintenance mode
  • you are not using Go
