    Monitoring API Client Libraries

    This page discusses the Google API Client Libraries for the Monitoring API.

    Cloud Monitoring API client libraries

    The Monitoring API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses. By using these libraries you can avoid the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses.
