# Getting Started with the Google APIs for Go
## Getting Started
This is a quick walk-through of how to get started with the Google APIs for Go.
## Background
The first thing to understand is that the Google API libraries are auto-generated for
each language, including Go, so they may not feel like 100% natural for any language.
The Go versions are pretty natural, but please forgive any small non-idiomatic things.
(Suggestions welcome, though!)
## Installing
Pick an API and a version of that API to install.
You can find the complete list by looking at the
[directories here](https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/tree/master/).
For example, let's install the
[urlshortener's version 1 API](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api/urlshortener/v1):
```
$ go get -u google.golang.org/api/urlshortener/v1
```
Now it's ready for use in your code.
## Using
Once you've installed a library, you import it like this:
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"golang.org/x/oauth2"
"golang.org/x/oauth2/google"
"google.golang.org/api/urlshortener/v1"
)
```
The package name, if you don't override it on your import line, is the name of the
API without the version number. In the case above, just `urlshortener`.
## Instantiating
Each API has a `New` function taking an `*http.Client` and returning an API-specific `*Service`.
You create the service like:
```go
svc, err := urlshortener.New(httpClient)
```
## OAuth HTTP Client
The HTTP client you pass in to the service must be one that automatically adds
Google-supported Authorization information to the requests.
There are several ways to do authentication. They will all involve the package
[golang.org/x/oauth2](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/oauth2) in some way.
### 3-legged OAuth
For 3-legged OAuth (your application redirecting a user through a website to get a
token giving your application access to that user's resources), you will need to
create an oauth2.Config,
```go
var config = &oauth2.Config{
ClientID: "", // from https://console.developers.google.com/project/<your-project-id>/apiui/credential
ClientSecret: "", // from https://console.developers.google.com/project/<your-project-id>/apiui/credential
Endpoint: google.Endpoint,
Scopes: []string{urlshortener.UrlshortenerScope},
}
```
... and then use the AuthCodeURL, Exchange, and Client methods on it.
For an example, see: https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/oauth2#example-Config
For the redirect URL, see
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2InstalledApp#choosingredirecturi
### Service Accounts
To use a Google service account, or the GCE metadata service, see
the [golang.org/x/oauth2/google](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/oauth2/google) package.
In particular, see [google.DefaultClient](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/oauth2/google#DefaultClient).
### Using API Keys
Some APIs require passing API keys from your application.
To do this, you can use
[transport.APIKey](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api/googleapi/transport#APIKey):
```go
ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), oauth2.HTTPClient, &http.Client{
Transport: &transport.APIKey{Key: developerKey},
})
oauthConfig := &oauth2.Config{ .... }
var token *oauth2.Token = .... // via cache, or oauthConfig.Exchange
httpClient := oauthConfig.Client(ctx, token)
svc, err := urlshortener.New(httpClient)
...
```
## Using the Service
Each service contains zero or more methods and zero or more sub-services.
The sub-services related to a specific type of "Resource".
Those sub-services then contain their own methods.
For instance, the urlshortener API has just the "Url" sub-service:
```go
url, err := svc.Url.Get(shortURL).Do()
if err != nil {
...
}
fmt.Printf("The URL %s goes to %s\n", shortURL, url.LongUrl)
```
For a more complete example, see
[urlshortener.go](https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/tree/master/examples/urlshortener.go)
in the [examples directory](https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/tree/master/examples/).
(the examples use some functions in `main.go` in the same directory)
## Error Handling
Most errors returned by the `Do` methods of these clients will be of type
[`googleapi.Error`](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api/googleapi#Error).
Use a type assertion to obtain the HTTP status code and other properties of the
error:
```go
url, err := svc.Url.Get(shortURL).Do()
if err != nil {
if e, ok := err.(*googleapi.Error); ok && e.Code == http.StatusNotFound {
...
}
}
```
