Client Libraries and Sample Code

  • Google provides client libraries for Java and Python to simplify interaction with the Sites Data API, offering tools and abstraction for building queries and handling responses without manual HTTP request management.

  • These client libraries are versatile, supporting multiple API versions (currently v1.4) and offering specific extensions for various Google services with Data APIs.

  • Sample programs in Java and Python, along with a collection of tutorials, are readily available to guide developers in utilizing the API and client libraries effectively.

Google Data client libraries are available to help you write client applications that use the Sites Data API.

For each language, the client library provides tools and an abstraction layer, letting you construct queries and use response data without having to create HTTP requests or process HTTP responses by hand. Each client library provides classes that correspond to the elements and data types that the API uses. The libraries also provide extensions for specific Google services that have Data APIs.

Client libraries are not tied to a specific version of the API. Client libraries include access to all the versions of the API and let you specify a version to develop against. The API versions supported by each client library are listed in the table below.
