Google API Client for Elixir

Elixir library for accessing Google APIs.

Only the following APIs are supported:

  • Analytics (partial)
  • Knowledge Graph Search API
  • Maps Time Zone API
  • Places Autocomplete
  • Nearby Places Search

PRs are welcome for more APIs.

Installation

  1. Add google_api_client to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
  def deps do
    [{:google_api_client, "~> 1.1"}]
  end

You will need a Google Developers Console project.

  1. Go to the Google Developers Console.
  2. Click Create Project, enter a name, and click Create.
  3. Once inside your project, enable access to the Google APIs you want this project to have access to (Library -> Search -> Enable).

For key based requests:

  1. Create Credentials (API Key)
  2. Add the following to your Elixir app's configuration:
  config :google_api_client,
    api_key: "Your API key"

For Ouath based requests:

  1. Implement oauth to obtain a user's token (see: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer)
  2. Pass the access token to methods which require oauth

Usage

results = Google.Apis.KnowledgeGraph.search("elixir")
results["itemListElement"] # List of results

# See https://developers.google.com/knowledge-graph/reference/rest/v1/ for a
# full description of what's contained in results
