A set of auto-generated Ruby REST client libraries for Google APIs, built from Discovery Documents, plus the code generator itself. Each client provides HTTP/JSON REST access, typed Ruby objects, googleauth-based authentication, and retry, pagination, and timeout controls.

Use cases

• call the Google Drive API from Ruby
• upload and download files to Google Drive in a Ruby app
• authenticate to Google APIs with service accounts in Ruby
• query Google Merchant Center Content API from Ruby
• generate a Ruby client for a Google API from its discovery document
• manage retries and pagination when calling Google REST endpoints

When to choose

• you need to call a Google API from Ruby and no modern client exists
• you want simple auto-generated REST clients covering many Google services
• you need OAuth, API key, or service account auth integrated via googleauth

When to avoid

• you use major GCP services like Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, or BigQuery where Google recommends the newer dedicated cloud clients
• you need gRPC-based performance rather than REST
• your project is not in Ruby
