As a follow-up to his GDG Chicago talk in 2019 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri8Bfptgo9Q) on Google APIs and running code on Google Cloud, tech consultant Wesley Chun dives deeper into using the REST APIs available for many Google services, Cloud and otherwise. While developers should expect a common user experience across all Google APIs, this isn't the case, so Wesley, who has spent 13+ years working on different Google API teams, will walk you through the differences you need to know if any of your current or future projects plan on using any Google API. Two of the key topics in this session include an overview of the different client libraries available as well as what's required for authorizing your app's access to Google APIs. Knowledge of accessing APIs from Python or Javascript may be helpful but not necessary.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES (What will attendees learn that they didn't know before?)

Attendees will get an improved understanding of how to use Google APIs as well as understand the differences between using Google Cloud APIs vs. non-Cloud Google APIs. This includes gaining awareness of the different authorization mechanisms (API keys vs. OAuth client IDs vs. service accounts) and the differing styles of client libraries that are available.
