Client Libraries

This page provides links to convenient ways to access the SDM API.

SDM API client libraries

The SDM API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses.

However, instead of creating HTTP requests and parsing responses manually, you may want to use the Google APIs client libraries. The client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization.

System requirements

Operating systems:
- Linux
- Mac OS X
- Windows
Python 2.7, or 3.4 or higher

Installing the client library

You can either use a package manager or download and install the Python client library manually:

Managed installation

Use pip or setuptools to manage your installation (you might need to run sudo first):

pip (preferred):

$ pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

Setuptools: Use the easy_install tool included in the setuptools package:
```
$ easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
```

Manual installation

Download the latest client library for Python, unpack the code, and run python setup.py install

App Engine

Because the Python client libraries are not installed in the App Engine Python runtime environment, they must be vendored into your application just like third-party libraries.

Ruby

This page contains information about getting started with the Smart Device Management API using the Google API Client Library for Ruby. In addition, you may be interested in the following documentation:

Read the Getting started guide for the Google API Client Library for Ruby.

Installing the google-api-client gem

If you haven't installed the Google API Client Library for Ruby before, open a terminal and install using RubyGems:

$ gem install google-api-client

If you already have the gem installed and would simply like to update to the latest version:

$ gem update -y google-api-client

Depending on your system, you may need to prepend these commands with sudo.
