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
