Samples and libraries
Stay organized with collections

The Google API client libraries are the recommended way to use the Content API. The client libraries
eliminate the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses. They also provide
language integration, improved security, and support for calls that require user authorization.
Use the client libraries
The easiest way to get started with the client libraries is to download the code examples from
GitHub and run one of the sample files. If you are new to the Content API, be sure to also check
out the
Get started
guide. For additional information about setting up and using the client libraries, see
Google API Client Libraries.
