Using Google APIs
S. P. T. Krishnan, Jose L. Ugia Gonzalez · Apress eBooks · 2015
Virtually all of Google’s products are built according to an API-first philosophy. This approach encompasses both Cloud Platform products like Google Compute Engine and consumer-facing products like Google Maps. On Google Cloud Platform, although Google makes it easy to consume products using either the web-based Developers Console or the console-based gcloud tool, the real power of the platform is best appreciated by using the core building blocks: the product APIs. In addition, certain developer-targeted products are made available solely through APIs. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
