Install Client Libraries

    • Google Digital Asset Links are built on HTTP and JSON, but Google API client libraries offer better language integration, improved security, and support for authorized calls.

    • Client libraries are available in various programming languages, eliminating the need for manual HTTP request setup and response parsing.

    • Getting started involves selecting your programming language and utilizing the provided client library resources like developer guides, reference documentation, and the APIs Explorer.

    The Google Digital Asset Links is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses.

    However, the Google API client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization. The client libraries are available in a number of programming languages; by using them you can avoid the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses.
