The document outlines a workshop on exploring Google APIs and G Suite using Python and JavaScript, featuring various application types and authorization methods. It provides resources for developers, including client libraries, code samples, and alternative methods such as Google Apps Script. The presentation concludes with a summary emphasising the availability of Google APIs for building applications and links to further resources.

Outline
● Overview
● Getting started
● Authorization boilerplate
● Motivational ideas
● Wrap-up
● [hacking + API usage examples]

2. Google APIs overview

3. BUT
... wait, there’s more...

4. Getting Started with Google APIs

5. Developers Console (devconsole)

9. OAuth2 scenarios
● Varies on application type (where apps located)
○ Web (server) applications
○ Installed (mobile & desktop computers) apps
○ Service accounts (cloud/server-to-server)
○ Client-side (JavaScript) apps
○ Limited-input devices (game consoles, printers, cameras, etc.)
○ developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2
○ TODAY: command-line script == "Installed"

11. Authorization boilerplate

12. developers.google.com/discovery/libraries
Open source client
libraries for many
languages, not just
SIMPLE
AUTHORIZED
Which do you choose?

13. Simple API access
Authorized API access

14. Motivational ideas
Write your own or see
github.com/googledrive/zipextractor (JS)

15. Build a Node.js customized reporting tool with our
Sheets API codelab at g.co/codelabs/sheets (JS)
Check out our Node.js Markdown-to-Google Slides
sample app demoing the Slides API

16. Wrap-up

17. Alternative
● Google Apps Script
○ What is it?
■ Executes as JavaScript in Google's cloud
■ Think “built-in” services vs. traditional API usage
■ Convenient access to G Suite/Google Apps data
■ Can also access other Google+external services
■ developers.google.com/apps-script
○ Video resources
■ developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/videos
(intro/Sheets, Maps & Gmail, YouTube [Data], Forms)
Summary
● We’ve created great tech but can’t build everything(!)
● APIs: our tech available for your apps; free?!?
● Access w/favorite dev tool via Google APIs Client Library
○ Python, JavaScript (client + Node.js), Java, C#/.NET, Go,
Dart, Ruby, PHP
○ Also mobile: Android (Java), iOS (Swift, Objective-C)
● Build the next great thing!
