## Description

# Google API Client

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/google-api-python-client.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/google-api-python-client)

This is the [Google API Python client library](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained#google_api_client_libraries)
for Google's discovery based APIs. To get started, please see the
[docs folder](https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/blob/main/docs/README.md).

This library is considered complete and is in maintenance mode. This means
that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any
new features.

This library is officially supported by Google.  However, the maintainers of
this repository recommend using [Cloud Client Libraries for Python](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python),
where possible, for new code development. For more information, please visit
[Client Libraries Explained](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained).

## Version 2.0 Release
The 2.0 release of `google-api-python-client` includes a substantial reliability 
improvement, compared with 1.x, as discovery documents are now cached in the library 
rather than fetched...
