If the service is not listed above, google-api-nodejs-client interfaces with additional Google Cloud APIs using a legacy REST interface.
When building Node.js applications, preference should be given to the libraries listed in the table.
Before you can interact with a given Google Cloud Service, you must enable its API.
Links are available for enabling APIs in the table at the beginning of this document, and in each libraries README.md.
To use Application Default Credentials, You first need to download a set of JSON credentials for your project. Go to APIs & Auth > Credentials in the Google Developers Console and select Service account from the Add credentials dropdown.
This file is your only copy of these credentials. It should never be committed with your source code, and should be stored securely.
Once downloaded, store the path to this file in the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.
Other authentication methods are outlined in the README for google-auth-library-nodejs, which is the authentication library used by all Google Cloud Node.js clients.

Our libraries follow Semantic Versioning.
Please note it is currently under active development. Any release versioned 0.x.y is subject to backwards-incompatible changes at any time.
GA: Libraries defined at the GA (general availability) quality level are stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
Please note that the auto-generated portions of the GA libraries (the ones in modules such as v1 or v2) are considered to be of Beta quality, even if the libraries that wrap them are GA.
Beta: Libraries defined at the Beta quality level are expected to be mostly stable, while we work towards their release candidate. We will address issues and requests with a higher priority.
Alpha: Libraries defined at the Alpha quality level are still a work-in-progress and are more likely to get backwards-incompatible updates.
Contributions to this library are always welcome and highly encouraged.
