The official Google Cloud Client Library for Ruby, a monorepo of idiomatic RubyGems for calling Google Cloud Platform APIs such as Cloud Storage, Datastore, and Pub/Sub. Most clients are auto-generated via the GAPIC generator, with OAuth 2.0 authentication and high-level abstractions built in.

Use cases

• access google cloud storage from a ruby app
• authenticate to gcp apis with oauth in ruby
• use cloud datastore from ruby
• publish messages to pub/sub from ruby
• integrate google cloud services into a rails application
• call google cloud apis without writing boilerplate http code

When to choose

• you are building a Ruby application that needs to talk to Google Cloud Platform services
• you want officially maintained, idiomatic Ruby clients with automatic authentication
• you prefer high-level abstractions over hand-rolled REST calls

When to avoid

• you use a language other than Ruby
• you need a Google API not covered by this library (check google-api-ruby-client instead)
• you want a lightweight CLI for managing GCP resources rather than programmatic access
