Google's officially supported PHP client library for OAuth 2.0 authentication and authorization with Google APIs. It implements Application Default Credentials (ADC) and provides Guzzle middleware for authorizing HTTP requests to Google Cloud services.

Use cases

• authenticate PHP applications against Google Cloud APIs
• use Application Default Credentials in PHP
• authorize Guzzle HTTP requests with OAuth 2.0 tokens
• load service account credentials from JSON files
• get access tokens for calling Google APIs
• implement service account authentication in PHP

When to choose

• building PHP applications that call Google Cloud or Google APIs
• you need ADC support in a PHP backend
• you want Guzzle middleware for automatic token handling

When to avoid

• authenticating with non-Google identity providers
• you need a full-featured Google API client rather than just auth
