## Setting up authentication

When you use client libraries, you use
[Application Default Credentials (ADC)](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/application-default-credentials)
to authenticate. For information about setting up ADC, see
[Provide credentials for Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc).
For information about using ADC with client libraries, see
[Authenticate using client libraries](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/client-libraries).

## Use the client library

See [Client library
examples](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places-aggregate/client-library-examples) for
usage information.
