[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/google/oauth2client/badge.svg?branch=master&service=github)](https://coveralls.io/github/google/oauth2client?branch=master)

This is a client library for accessing resources protected by OAuth 2.0.

**Note**: oauth2client is now deprecated. No more features will be added to the
libraries and the core team is turning down support. We recommend you use
[google-auth](https://google-auth.readthedocs.io) and [oauthlib](http://oauthlib.readthedocs.io/). For more details on the deprecation, see [oauth2client deprecation](https://google-auth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/oauth2client-deprecation.html).

Installation

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

oauth2client is a client library for accessing resources protected by OAuth 2.0, enabling authentication and authorization flows for Google APIs and other OAuth 2.0-compliant services.

Verdict: oauth2client is a low-friction, permissively licensed OAuth 2.0 client, but it is abandoned (last release September 2018, repository archived) and explicitly deprecated by Google in favor of google-auth and oauthlib. Use only for legacy systems; new projects should adopt the recommended alternatives.
