What it is and what it does
google-api is a Python client library that wraps Google API interactions, built on top of the appier framework. It was designed to simplify authentication and request handling for Google services by providing a higher-level abstraction over raw HTTP calls.
However, the package has been abandoned since September 2017 with no repository activity, commits, or maintenance. The classifiers indicate support for Python 2.6 through 3.6, but these versions are now end-of-life. Modern Google API access is handled by official libraries like google-cloud-python and google-auth, which receive active maintenance and security updates. Installing this package exposes you to potential compatibility issues, security gaps, and lack of support for current Google API changes.
Use it for
- Legacy Python 2 projects that already depend on this wrapper and cannot migrate to modern Google client libraries.
- Historical codebases where google-api was integrated and replacement is not immediately feasible.
- Educational or archival purposes to understand how older Google API wrappers were structured.
