Enable Google Workspace APIs

Before using Google APIs, you need to turn them on in a Google Cloud project. You can turn on one or more APIs in a single Google Cloud project. If you don't already have a Google Cloud project, see Create a Cloud project.

To enable an API in your Cloud project:

Google Cloud console

In the Google Cloud console, go to Menu > More products > Google Workspace > Product Library.
Go to Product Library
Click the API that you want to turn on.
Click Enable.
To enable more APIs, repeat these steps.

Google Cloud CLI

Install or open the Google Cloud Command Line Interface (CLI).
Run the services enable command, specifying which API service to enable.
```
gcloud services enable API_SERVICE_ID
```

(Optional) Try Google Workspace APIs in experimental apps

If you're experimenting with Google Workspace, use the following shortcut, which enables popular Google Workspace APIs, and creates OAuth credentials that you can use.

If you're developing an app that accesses users' information, you must configure the OAuth consent screen before releasing your app.

Click this button to select or create a Google Cloud project, and automatically enable the Workspace APIs:

Enable the Workspace APIs

In resulting dialog, click Download client configuration and save credentials.json to your working directory.

See the Google Workspace APIs explorer for a comprehensive list of all the available APIs, and to try specific methods from your browser.
