Observe meeting events with Python and the Google Meet REST API

This tutorial shows how to use the Google Meet REST API along with the Google Workspace Events API and Google Cloud Pub/Sub to observe and react to events in a Meet meeting space. The sample application records when conferences start and end, when participants join or leave, and when any generated meeting artifacts are available.

Instead of subscribing to a specific meeting space, you can instead subscribe to a Meet user to receive events for any meeting space that the user owns or organizes. For details, see Subscribe to Google Meet events in the Google Workspace Events API documentation.

Prerequisites

If you need any of these prerequisites turned on for your organization, ask your Google Workspace administrator to turn them on:

• A Google Workspace account with access to Google Meet .
• Access to create a Google Cloud project .
• Python 3 installed.
• The gcloud CLI installed.

Prepare your environment

This section shows how to create and configure your local environment and the Google Cloud project for this tutorial.

Create a working directory and Python virtual environment

To create and activate a new virtual environment , run the following commands in your terminal.

 mkdir  
meet-tutorial 
  cd 
  
meet-tutorial 
 python3  
-mvenv  
env 
  source 
  
env/bin/activate 

 mkdir  
meet-tutorial 
  cd 
  
meet-tutorial 
 python3  
-mvenv  
env 
 env/bin/activate.bat 

 mkdir  
meet-tutorial 
  cd 
  
meet-tutorial 
 python3  
-mvenv  
env 
 env/bin/activate.ps1 

Create a Google Cloud project

Enable billing for the Google Cloud project

Set up authentication and authorization

Authentication and authorization lets the app access Meet REST API resources. User authorization is required to call the Meet REST API. This section hows you how to configure user credentials and request authorization.

Configure the OAuth consent screen and choose scopes

The following steps suggest placeholder information to configure the OAuth consent screen for your app. Before publishing the app externally, update this information.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu menu > Google Auth platform > Branding .

   Go to Branding

2. If you have already configured the Google Auth platform, you can configure the following OAuth Consent Screen settings in Branding , Audience , and Data Access . If you see a message that says Google Auth platform not configured yet , click Get Started :
1. Under App Information , in App name , enter Meet REST API Tutorial .
2. In User support email , choose a support email address where users can contact you if they have questions about their consent.
3. Click Next .
4. Under Audience , select Internal .
5. Click Next .
6. Under Contact Information , enter an Email address where you can be notified about any changes to your project.
7. Click Next .
8. Under Finish , review the Google API Services User Data Policy and if you agree, select I agree to the Google API Services: User Data Policy .
9. Click Continue .
10. Click Create .
11. If you selected External for user type, add test users:
    1. Click Audience .
    2. Under Test users , click Add users .
    3. Enter your email address and any other authorized test users, then click Save .
3. Click Data Access > Add or Remove Scopes . A panel appears with a list of scopes for each API that you've enabled in your Google Cloud project.
4. Under Manually add scopes , paste the following scopes:
   • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/meetings.space.created
5. Click Add to Table .
6. Click Update .
7. After selecting the scopes required by your app, click Save .

For more information about configuring OAuth consent, see Get started with the Google Auth platform .

Create a client ID

The client ID acts as credentials for your application during the OAuth 2.0 flows. Since the app runs locally, create a desktop client ID.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu menu > Google Auth platform > Clients .

   Go to Clients

2. Click Create Client .
3. Click Application type > Desktop app .
4. In the Name field, type a name for the credential. This name is only shown in the Google Cloud console.
5. Click Create .

   The newly created credential appears under "OAuth 2.0 Client IDs."

Install the Google auth libraries

Install the Google auth libraries:

 pip  
install  
google-auth  
google-auth-oauthlib 

Execute authorization

The Meet REST API requires user credentials in the form of an OAuth 2.0 access token. In this section, you implement the OAuth 2.0 flow to request an access token and a refresh token for the user.

1. In your working directory, create the file main.py and add the following contents:

     import 
     
    os 
    import 
     
    json 
    from 
     
    google.auth.transport 
     
    import 
    requests 
    from 
     
    google.oauth2.credentials 
     
    import 
    Credentials 
    from 
     
    google_auth_oauthlib.flow 
     
    import 
    InstalledAppFlow 
    def 
     
    authorize 
    () 
    - 
   > Credentials 
    : 
     
    """Ensure valid credentials for calling the Meet REST API.""" 
    CLIENT_SECRET_FILE 
    = 
    "./client_secret.json" 
    credentials 
    = 
    None 
    if 
    os 
    . 
    path 
    . 
    exists 
    ( 
    'token.json' 
    ): 
    credentials 
    = 
    Credentials 
    . 
    from_authorized_user_file 
    ( 
    'token.json' 
    ) 
    if 
    credentials 
    is 
    None 
    : 
    flow 
    = 
    InstalledAppFlow 
    . 
    from_client_secrets_file 
    ( 
    CLIENT_SECRET_FILE 
    , 
    scopes 
    = 
    [ 
    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/meetings.space.created' 
    , 
    ]) 
    flow 
    . 
    run_local_server 
    ( 
    port 
    = 
    0 
    ) 
    credentials 
    = 
    flow 
    . 
    credentials 
    if 
    credentials 
    and 
    credentials 
    . 
    expired 
    : 
    credentials 
    . 
    refresh 
    ( 
    requests 
    . 
    Request 
    ()) 
    if 
    credentials 
    is 
    not 
    None 
    : 
    with 
    open 
    ( 
    "token.json" 
    , 
    "w" 
    ) 
    as 
    f 
    : 
    f 
    . 
    write 
    ( 
    credentials 
    . 
    to_json 
    ()) 
    return 
    credentials 
    USER_CREDENTIALS 
    = 
    authorize 
    () 
    
   

2. To run the code, both the client ID and the secret created earlier are required. Copy the downloaded client secret file to the project working directory and rename it as client_secret.json .

3. If you'd like to test how authorization works, run the following command. The app prompts for authorization and creates a token.json file in the project working directory after the request is approved.

    python3  
   main.py 
   

Add the Meet REST API

Now that the authorization code is complete, it's time to enable and call the Meet REST API.

Enable the APIs

While this section is focused on the Meet REST API, this tutorial also uses Google Cloud Pub/Sub and Google Workspace Events API.

Install the Meet REST API client library

Follow these steps to install the Meet REST API client library:

1. Run the command:

    pip  
   install  
   google-apps-meet 
   

2. Edit the main.py file to import the client:

     from 
     
    google.apps 
     
    import 
    meet_v2 
    as 
    meet 
    
   

Create a space

Now that the Meet REST API is available, define a function to create a meeting space that can be subscribed to.

Edit main.py and add:

  def 
  
 create_space 
 () 
 - 
> meet 
 . 
 Space 
 : 
  
 """Create a meeting space.""" 
 client 
 = 
 meet 
 . 
 SpacesServiceClient 
 ( 
 credentials 
 = 
 USER_CREDENTIALS 
 ) 
 request 
 = 
 meet 
 . 
 CreateSpaceRequest 
 () 
 return 
 client 
 . 
 create_space 
 ( 
 request 
 = 
 request 
 ) 
 

Subscribe to events

To receive events about a meeting space, you create a subscription using the Google Workspace Events API. You must also create and subscribe to a Google Cloud Pub/Sub topic which serves as the notification endpoint where your app receives the events.

Configure Google Cloud Pub/Sub

To create and subscribe to a Pub/Sub topic:

Make note of the topic name and make sure the value for {project} is the Cloud project ID for your app. You'll use the topic name to create the Google Workspace subscription later.

Create a service account

Use the service account

After creating the service account, grant yourself access to impersonate the service account.

Install the Pub/Sub client library

1. Use pip to install the client library for Pub/Sub:

    pip  
   install  
   google-cloud-pubsub 
   

2. Then edit main.py to import the client:

     from 
     
    google.cloud 
     
    import 
    pubsub_v1 
    
   

Create the Google Workspace subscription

Add the following code to main.py to define a method for subscribing to Meet events. This code subscribes to all events for a meeting space. When subscribed, events are posted to the Pub/Sub topic.

  def 
  
 subscribe_to_space 
 ( 
 space_name 
 : 
 str 
 = 
 None 
 , 
 topic_name 
 : 
 str 
 = 
 None 
 ): 
  
 """Subscribe to events for a meeting space.""" 
 session 
 = 
 requests 
 . 
 AuthorizedSession 
 ( 
 USER_CREDENTIALS 
 ) 
 body 
 = 
 { 
 'targetResource' 
 : 
 f 
 "//meet.googleapis.com/ 
 { 
 space_name 
 } 
 " 
 , 
 "eventTypes" 
 : 
 [ 
 "google.workspace.meet.conference.v2.started" 
 , 
 "google.workspace.meet.conference.v2.ended" 
 , 
 "google.workspace.meet.participant.v2.joined" 
 , 
 "google.workspace.meet.participant.v2.left" 
 , 
 "google.workspace.meet.recording.v2.fileGenerated" 
 , 
 "google.workspace.meet.transcript.v2.fileGenerated" 
 , 
 ], 
 "payloadOptions" 
 : 
 { 
 "includeResource" 
 : 
 False 
 , 
 }, 
 "notificationEndpoint" 
 : 
 { 
 "pubsubTopic" 
 : 
 topic_name 
 }, 
 "ttl" 
 : 
 "86400s" 
 , 
 } 
 response 
 = 
 session 
 . 
 post 
 ( 
 "https://workspaceevents.googleapis.com/v1/subscriptions" 
 , 
 json 
 = 
 body 
 ) 
 return 
 response 
 

Next, add the corresponding code to pull and process the events.

Listen for and handle events

Continue to edit main.py and add the following sample code. This code implements the receiving side and uses the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API to pull events as they're made available. The various handler methods print information about the corresponding events.

  def 
  
 format_participant 
 ( 
 participant 
 : 
 meet 
 .

Finalize the code

Add the following code to main.py to call the methods to create the space, subscribe to events, and listen. Update the TOPIC_NAME and SUBSCRIPTION_NAME constants with your own topic and subscription names that you previously created.

1. Add the code to main.py :

     space 
    = 
    create_space 
    () 
    print 
    ( 
    f 
    "Join the meeting at 
    { 
    space 
    . 
    meeting_uri 
    } 
    " 
    ) 
    TOPIC_NAME 
    = 
    "projects/ PROJECT_ID 
   /topics/ TOPIC_ID 
   " 
    SUBSCRIPTION_NAME 
    = 
    "projects/ PROJECT_ID 
   /subscriptions/ SUBSCRIPTION_ID 
   " 
    subscription 
    = 
    subscribe_to_space 
    ( 
    topic_name 
    = 
    TOPIC_NAME 
    , 
    space_name 
    = 
    space 
    . 
    name 
    ) 
    if 
    ( 
    subscription 
    . 
    status_code 
    ) 
    == 
    200 
    : 
    listen_for_events 
    ( 
    subscription_name 
    = 
    SUBSCRIPTION_NAME 
    ) 
    else 
    : 
    print 
    ( 
    f 
    "Subscription to Meet events failed, response data: 
    { 
    subscription 
    . 
    content 
    } 
    " 
    ) 
    
   

   Replace the following:

   • PROJECT_ID : The unique Cloud project ID for your app, such as my-sample-project-191923 .

   • TOPIC_ID : The name of the Pub/Sub topic that you created in your Cloud project.

   • SUBSCRIPTION_ID : The name of your subscription, such as workspace-events-sub .

2. Run the program:

    python3  
   main.py 
   

If you haven't previously run the program, it prompts for authorization the first time. Grant access to the application to call the Meet REST API. After the program successfully runs, you should see output similar to:

 Join the meeting at https://meet.google.com/abc-mnop-xyz 

Join the conference

To generate events for the application, join the conference using the URL displayed by the application. After you join, you can try these actions to trigger events:

• Leave and rejoin the meeting.
• Invite others or dial in with your phone.
• Enable recordings and transcripts.

Each of these activities generates an event that the application receives and logs to the Google Cloud console.

Use ctrl-c to interrupt the program when you're done.

Optional: Additional steps to try

The app logs basic details about the events. To continue exploring the Meet REST API, try modifying the application to perform these additional actions.

• Use the People API to retrieve additional information about signed-in participants.

  Make sure to add "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile" in the authorize method in the credential samples above.

• Use the Google Drive API to download recordings and transcripts.

• Instead of downloading transcripts from Google Drive, retrieve them using the structured transcript methods in the Meet REST API.

• get space instead of creating the space

    def 
    
   get_space

   get_space 
   ( 
   name 
   = 
   "spaces/" 
   +

   ) 
   
  

  Make sure to add "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/meetings.space.readonly" in the authorize method in the credential samples above.
