[![Latest Stable Version](https://poser.pugx.org/google/cloud-gsuite-addons/v/stable)](https://packagist.org/packages/google/cloud-gsuite-addons) [![Packagist](https://img.shields.io/packagist/dm/google/cloud-gsuite-addons.svg)](https://packagist.org/packages/google/cloud-gsuite-addons) * [API documentation](https://cloud.google.com/php/docs/reference/cloud-gsuite-addons/latest) **NOTE:** This repository is part of [Google Cloud PHP](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php). Any support requests, bug reports, or development contributions should be directed to that project. ### Installation To begin, install the preferred dependency manager for PHP, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Now to install just this component: ```sh $ composer require google/cloud-gsuite-addons ``` This component supports both REST over HTTP/1.1 and gRPC. In order to take advantage of the benefits offered by gRPC (such as streaming methods) please see our [gRPC installation guide](https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc). ### Authentication Please see our [Authentication guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/main/AUTHENTICATION.md) for more information on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests. ### Sample ```php use Google\ApiCore\ApiException; use Google\Cloud\GSuiteAddOns\V1\Authorization; use Google\Cloud\GSuiteAddOns\V1\Client\GSuiteAddOnsClient; use Google\Cloud\GSuiteAddOns\V1\GetAuthorizationRequest; // Create a client. $gSuiteAddOnsClient = new GSuiteAddOnsClient(); // Prepare the request message. $request = (new GetAuthorizationRequest()) ->setName($formattedName); // Call the API and handle any network failures. try { /** @var Authorization $response */ $response = $gSuiteAddOnsClient->getAuthorization($request); printf('Response data: %s' . PHP_EOL, $response->serializeToJsonString()); } catch (ApiException $ex) { printf('Call failed with message: %s' . PHP_EOL, $ex->getMessage()); } ``` ### Debugging Please see our [Debugging guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/main/DEBUG.md) for more information about the debugging tools. ### Version This component is considered GA (generally available). As such, it will not introduce backwards-incompatible changes in any minor or patch releases. We will address issues and requests with the highest priority. ### Next Steps 1. Understand the [official documentation](https://developers.google.com/workspace/add-ons/overview).
