Travis Build Status Coverage Status Gem Version

Ruby API Client library for Google Cloud

This client supports the following Google Cloud Platform services:

If you need support for other Google APIs, check out the Google API Ruby Client library.

Quick Start

$ gem install gcloud

Authentication

Gcloud uses Service Account credentials to connect to Google Cloud services. When running on Compute Engine the credentials will be discovered automatically. When running on other environments the Service Account credentials can be specified by providing the path to the JSON file, or the JSON itself, in environment variables. Additionally, Cloud SDK credentials can also be discovered automatically, but this is only recommended during development.

Instructions and configuration options are covered in the Authentication guide. The examples in Quick Start will demonstrate providing the Project ID and Credentials JSON file path in code.

BigQuery

Preview

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new "my-todo-project-id",
                    "/path/to/keyfile.json"
bigquery = gcloud.bigquery

# Create a new table to archive todos
dataset = bigquery.dataset "my-todo-archive"
table = dataset.create_table "todos",
          name: "Todos Archive",
          description: "Archive for completed TODO records"

# Load data into the table
file = File.open "/archive/todos/completed-todos.csv"
load_job = table.load file

# Run a query for the number of completed todos by owner
count_sql = "SELECT owner, COUNT(*) AS complete_count FROM todos GROUP BY owner"
data = bigquery.query count_sql
data.each do |row|
  puts row["name"]
end

Datastore

Follow the activation instructions to use the Google Cloud Datastore API with your project.

Preview

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new "my-todo-project-id",
                    "/path/to/keyfile.json"
dataset = gcloud.datastore

# Create a new task to demo datastore
demo_task = Gcloud::Datastore::Entity.new
demo_task.key = Gcloud::Datastore::Key.new "Task", "datastore-demo"
demo_task[:description] = "Demonstrate Datastore functionality"
demo_task[:completed] = false

# Save the new task
dataset.save demo_task

# Run a query for all completed tasks
query = Gcloud::Datastore::Query.new.kind("Task").
  where("completed", "=", true)
completed_tasks = dataset.run query

DNS

Preview

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new
dns = gcloud.dns

# Retrieve a zone
zone = dns.zone "example-com"

# Update records in the zone
change = zone.update do |tx|
  tx.add     "www", "A",  86400, "1.2.3.4"
  tx.remove  "example.com.", "TXT"
  tx.replace "example.com.", "MX", 86400, ["10 mail1.example.com.",
                                           "20 mail2.example.com."]
  tx.modify "www.example.com.", "CNAME" do |r|
    r.ttl = 86400 # only change the TTL
  end
end

Pub/Sub

Preview

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new "my-todo-project-id",
                    "/path/to/keyfile.json"
pubsub = gcloud.pubsub

# Retrieve a topic
topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"

# Publish a new message
msg = topic.publish "new-message"

# Retrieve a subscription
sub = pubsub.subscription "my-topic-sub"

# Pull available messages
msgs = sub.pull

Storage

Preview

require "gcloud"

gcloud = Gcloud.new "my-todo-project-id",
                    "/path/to/keyfile.json"
storage = gcloud.storage

bucket = storage.bucket "task-attachments"

file = bucket.file "path/to/my-file.ext"

# Download the file to the local file system
file.download "/tasks/attachments/#{file.name}"

# Copy the file to a backup bucket
backup = storage.bucket "task-attachment-backups"
file.copy backup, file.name
