Often, the easiest way to learn how to use an API can be to look at sample code. This page provides links to some convenient ways to access the Admin SDK API.
Admin SDK API client libraries
The Admin SDK API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses.
However, the Google APIs client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization. The client libraries are available in a number of programming languages; by using them you can avoid the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses.
