We strive to make our APIs accessible to anyone on any platform: ReST, HTTP and JSON mean that
from nearly any language on nearly any hardware, you can call any of our APIs. However, to be
truly useful on many platforms, it helps to have a client library -- one that packs a lot of
functionality like handling auth, streaming media uploads and downloads, and gives you native
language idioms.
Today, we are announcing General Availability of the Google APIs Client Library for .NET.
This library is an open-source effort, hosted at NuGet, that lets developers
building on the Microsoft® .NET Framework to integrate their desktop or Windows Phone
applications with Google’s services. It handles OAuth
2.0 integration, streaming uploads
and downloads
of media, and batching
requests. For more than fifty Google
APIs, it is the easiest way to get access for any Windows developer. Whether you are
plugging Google Calendar into your .NET Framework-based application, translating text in a
Windows Phone app or writing a PowerShell script to start Google Compute Engine instances, the
Google APIs Client Library for .NET can save you tons of time.

Started tutorial. Want to hear more about about using Google’s services from .NET?
