Google's officially supported Node.js client library for accessing Google APIs, with auto-generated endpoints for all APIs listed in the Google APIs Explorer. It includes built-in support for OAuth 2.0, API keys, and JWT service account authentication.
Use cases
- call google apis from nodejs
- authenticate with oauth2 in a node app
- use google service account credentials in nodejs
- access google drive or sheets api from javascript
- upload media to google apis from node
- use api keys to call google apis
When to choose
- you need to call Google APIs (non-GCP) from a Node.js application
- you want a single package covering many Google APIs with built-in auth
- you need OAuth2, API key, or service account JWT authentication in Node.js
When to avoid
- you are working with Google Cloud Platform services like Cloud Storage or Pub/Sub - prefer the @google-cloud client libraries
- you need new features - the library is in maintenance mode and only receives critical bug and security fixes
