Google's official JavaScript client library (gapi) for accessing Google APIs from browser applications. It provides authentication, batching, and discovery-based API access.

Use cases

  • call Google APIs from a browser app
  • authenticate users with Google in JavaScript
  • load Google API client with discovery documents
  • batch multiple Google API requests
  • access Google Drive or Calendar from web app

When to choose

  • building a browser-based app that consumes Google APIs
  • you need OAuth flows and API batching handled for you

When to avoid

  • building a Node.js server-side app (use googleapis instead)
  • you need a modern promise-first SDK with TypeScript types
