The official monorepo of idiomatic Python client libraries for Google Cloud Platform services, covering APIs like BigQuery, Storage, AI Platform, and dozens more. It is the recommended way to access Google Cloud APIs programmatically from Python with high-level abstractions.
Use cases
- access google cloud services from python
- query bigquery with python
- upload files to google cloud storage
- call vertex ai from a python app
- use pub/sub in python
- manage gcp resources programmatically
When to choose
- you are building Python applications on Google Cloud Platform
- you want official, well-maintained clients with GA stability guarantees
- you need idiomatic Python abstractions over GCP REST APIs
When to avoid
- you need Google APIs outside Google Cloud (use google-api-python-client)
- you work in a language other than Python
- you want a lightweight generic REST client without generated SDKs
