Quickstarts explain how to set up and run an app that calls a
Google Workspace API.
Google Workspace quickstarts use the API client libraries to handle some
details of the authentication and authorization flow. We recommend that
you use the client libraries for your own apps. This quickstart uses a
simplified authentication approach that is appropriate for a testing
environment. For a production environment, we recommend learning about
authentication and authorization
before
choosing the access credentials
that are appropriate for your app.
