Description: # Google API Client
        
        [![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/google-api-python-client.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/google-api-python-client)
        
        This is the [Google API Python client library](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained#google_api_client_libraries)
        for Google's discovery based APIs. To get started, please see the
        [docs folder](https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/blob/master/docs/README.md).
        
        This library is considered complete and is in maintenance mode. This means
        that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any
        new features.
        
        This library is officially supported by Google.  However, the maintainers of
        this repository recommend using [Cloud Client Libraries for Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python),
        where possible, for new code development. For more information, please visit
        [Client Libraries Explained](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained).
        
        ## Version 2.0 Release
        The 2.0 release of `google-api-python-client` is a significant upgrade compared
        to v1. Please see the [Migration Guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/blob/master/UPGRADING.md) for more information.
        As a result of caching the discovery documents, the size of this package is at
        least 50 MB larger compared to the previous version.
        
        ## Documentation
        
        See the [docs folder](https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/blob/master/docs/README.md) for more detailed instructions and additional documentation.
        
        ## Other Google API libraries
        
        The maintainers of this repository recommend using
        [Cloud Client Libraries for Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python),
        where possible, for new code development due to the following reasons:
        
        With [Cloud Client Libraries for Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python):
        - There is a separate client library for each API, so you can choose
        which client libraries to download. Whereas, `google-api-python-client` is a
        single client library for all APIs. As a result, the total package size for
        `google-api-python-client` exceeds 50MB.
        - There are stricter controls for breaking changes to the underlying APIs
        as each client library is focused on a specific API.
        - There are more features in these Cloud Client Libraries as each library is
        focused on a specific API, and in some cases, the libraries are owned by team
        who specialized in that API.
        - Developers will benefit from intellisense.

        [Client Libraries Explained](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained).
        
        Although there are many benefits to moving to
        [Cloud Client Libraries for Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python),
        the maintainers want to emphasize that `google-api-python-client` will continue
        to be supported.
        
        For Google Ads API, we recommend using [Google Ads API Client Library for Python](https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-python/).
        
        For Google Firebase Admin API, we recommend using [Firebase Admin Python SDK](https://github.com/firebase/firebase-admin-python).
        
        ## Installation
        
        Install this library in a [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) using pip. virtualenv is a tool to
        create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
        dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
        
        With virtualenv, it's possible to install this library without needing system
        install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
        dependencies.
        
        ### Mac/Linux
        
        ```
        pip install virtualenv
        virtualenv <your-env>
        source <your-env>/bin/activate
        <your-env>/bin/pip install google-api-python-client
        ```
        
        ### Windows
        
        ```
        pip install virtualenv
        virtualenv <your-env>
        <your-env>\Scripts\activate
        <your-env>\Scripts\pip.exe install google-api-python-client
        ```
        
        ## Supported Python Versions
        
        Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 are fully supported and tested. This library may work on later versions of 3, but we do not currently run tests against those versions.
        
        ## Unsupported Python Versions
        
        Python < 3.6
        
        ## Third Party Libraries and Dependencies
        
        The following libraries will be installed when you install the client library:
        * [httplib2](https://github.com/httplib2/httplib2)
        * [uritemplate](https://github.com/sigmavirus24/uritemplate)
        
        For development you will also need the following libraries:
        * [WebTest](http://webtest.pythonpaste.org/en/latest/index.html)
        * [pyopenssl](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyOpenSSL)
