Sample
The blogger sample can help you get started by using the client library.
System requirements
- Operating systems:
- Linux
- macOS X
- Windows
- The v1 client library requires Python 2.7 or higher. The v2 client library requires 3.7 or higher.
Install the client library
You can either use a package manager or manually download and install the Python client library:
Managed install
Use pip or setuptools to manage your installation. You might
need to run sudo first.
- pip (preferred):
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
- Setuptools:
easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
Manual install
- Download the latest client library for Python.
- Unpack the code.
- Install:
python setup.py install
App Engine
Because the Python client libraries aren't installed in the App Engine Python runtime environment, you must copy them into your application just like third-party libraries.
