google-api-python-client VS google

We uploaded one of Google’s sample Python scripts to Docuwriter to test some of the code documentation types, starting with General Documentation:

Google has documentation and 'getting started' resources for the GMail API, but the sample script implemented in their 'Python Quickstart' guide is using syntax that is documented separately in the Google API Python Client docs and GMail API docs.

First hit on google: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/issues/1640

I'd recommend using one of the clients vs trying to assemble the requests yourself. The Python client is a good place to start.

The main functionality is handled by the Thermostat class. On creation it creates a service object using the Google Python API Client. That's used later to help build and execute API requests. At app exit the service object is closed.

At first, to simplify the procedure, I started with the credentials of an open source email client. I then used the tool mutt_oauth2.py (which is a streamlined version of google-api-python-client).

Based on my understanding, this is now only possible via through OAUTH2. After several failed attempts, it seems I found the official supported library, that is google-api-python-client.

Documentation. I've encountered several non documented requirements on various services that are just frustrating for no reason, until you find the correct answer on StackOverflow or GitHub. This can be a known issue that is unfixed for years, even though it's only a change in documentation. Again, Google's support teams keep claiming to file "internal bug reports" that go nowhere for years. Google is so busy always developing the "next big thing" that they forget to invest in their own existing tools that developers count on. See this example Issue from 2015 that was still gaining comments in 2021!

The Google API Client Libraries (https://pkg.go.dev/google.golang.org/api) are an autogenerated set of libraries against all external Google API's, which include Cloud, but are not limited to just Cloud. These libraries include Search, YouTube, etc.

We will use the google SDK library implemented in Golang.

In google-api I used a Go Fitness package example where I always referenced to fitness.go, copy-pasted a file debug.go and some parts of main.go

I'm struggling to find the idiomatic Go SDK API from GCP and how to use the existing one https://cloud.google.com/go/docs/reference # don't have DNS package https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-go # don't have DNS package https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-go-client # has DNS package but I can't find one way to list my managed DNS zones So in this case, what can I do? So far I've done the following, I want to change the func hostList() to something dynamic generated based on my Google Cloud DNS zones.
