Google Cloud Client Libraries for Go
Go packages for Google Cloud Platform services.
import "cloud.google.com/go"
To install the packages on your system,
$ go get -u cloud.google.com/go/...
NOTE: Some of these packages are under development, and may occasionally make backwards-incompatible changes.
NOTE: Github repo is a mirror of https://code.googlesource.com/gocloud.

Breaking Pubsub changes.
- Publish is now asynchronous (announcement).
- Subscription.Pull replaced by Subscription.Receive, which takes a callback (announcement).
- Message.Done replaced with Message.Ack and Message.Nack.
February 14, 2017
Release of a client library for Spanner. See the blog post.
Note that although the Spanner service is beta, the Go client library is alpha.
Supported APIs
Alpha status: the API is still being actively developed. As a result, it might change in backward-incompatible ways and is not recommended for production use.
Beta status: the API is largely complete, but still has outstanding features and bugs to be addressed. There may be minor backwards-incompatible changes where necessary.
Stable status: the API is mature and ready for production use. We will continue addressing bugs and feature requests.
Documentation and examples are available at https://godoc.org/cloud.google.com/go
Visit or join the google-api-go-announce group for updates on these packages.
Go Versions Supported
We support the two most recent major versions of Go. If Google App Engine uses
an older version, we support that as well. You can see which versions are
currently supported by looking at the lines following go: in
.travis.yml.
Authorization
By default, each API will use Google Application Default Credentials for authorization credentials used in calling the API endpoints. This will allow your application to run in many environments without requiring explicit configuration.
client, err := storage.NewClient(ctx)
To authorize using a
JSON key file,
pass
option.WithServiceAccountFile
to the NewClient function of the desired package. For example:
client, err := storage.NewClient(ctx, option.WithServiceAccountFile("path/to/keyfile.json"))
You can exert more control over authorization by using the
golang.org/x/oauth2 package to
create an oauth2.TokenSource. Then pass
option.WithTokenSource
to the NewClient function:
snip:# (auth-ts)
tokenSource := ...
client, err := storage.NewClient(ctx, option.WithTokenSource(tokenSource))
Cloud Datastore 
- About Cloud Datastore
- Activating the API for your project
- API documentation
- Go client documentation
- Complete sample program
Example Usage
First create a datastore.Client to use throughout your application:
client, err := datastore.NewClient(ctx, "my-project-id")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Then use that client to interact with the API:
type Post struct {
Title string
Body string `datastore:",noindex"`
PublishedAt time.Time
}
keys := []*datastore.Key{
datastore.NameKey("Post", "post1", nil),
datastore.NameKey("Post", "post2", nil),
}
posts := []*Post{
{Title: "Post 1", Body: "...", PublishedAt: time.Now()},
{Title: "Post 2", Body: "...", PublishedAt: time.Now()},
}
if _, err := client.PutMulti(ctx, keys, posts); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Cloud Storage 
Example Usage
First create a storage.Client to use throughout your application:
client, err := storage.NewClient(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Read the object1 from bucket.
rc, err := client.Bucket("bucket").Object("object1").NewReader(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer rc.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(rc)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Cloud Pub/Sub 
Example Usage
First create a pubsub.Client to use throughout your application:
client, err := pubsub.NewClient(ctx, "project-id")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
Then use the client to publish and subscribe:
// Publish "hello world" on topic1.
topic := client.Topic("topic1")
res := topic.Publish(ctx, &pubsub.Message{
Data: []byte("hello world"),
})
// The publish happens asynchronously.
// Later, you can get the result from res:
...
msgID, err := res.Get(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Use a callback to receive messages via subscription1.
sub := client.Subscription("subscription1")
err = sub.Receive(ctx, func(ctx context.Context, m *pubsub.Message) {
fmt.Println(m.Data)
m.Ack() // Acknowledge that we've consumed the message.
})
if err != nil {
log.Println(err)
}
Cloud BigQuery 
Example Usage
First create a bigquery.Client to use throughout your application:
snip:# (bq-1)
c, err := bigquery.NewClient(ctx, "my-project-ID")
if err != nil {
// TODO: Handle error.
}
Then use that client to interact with the API: snip:# (bq-2)
// Construct a query.
q := c.Query(`
SELECT year, SUM(number)
FROM [bigquery-public-data:usa_names.usa_1910_2013]
WHERE name = "William"
GROUP BY year
ORDER BY year
`)
// Execute the query.
it, err := q.Read(ctx)
if err != nil {
// TODO: Handle error.
}
// Iterate through the results.
for {
var values []bigquery.Value
err := it.Next(&values)
if err == iterator.Done {
break
}
if err != nil {
// TODO: Handle error.
}
fmt.Println(values)
}
Stackdriver Logging 
Example Usage
First create a logging.Client to use throughout your application:
snip:# (logging-1)
ctx := context.Background()
client, err := logging.NewClient(ctx, "my-project")
if err != nil {
// TODO: Handle error.
}
Usually, you'll want to add log entries to a buffer to be periodically flushed (automatically and asynchronously) to the Stackdriver Logging service. snip:# (logging-2)
logger := client.Logger("my-log")
logger.Log(logging.Entry{Payload: "something happened!"})
Close your client before your program exits, to flush any buffered log entries. snip:# (logging-3)
err = client.Close()
if err != nil {
// TODO: Handle error.
}
Cloud Spanner 
Example Usage
First create a spanner.Client to use throughout your application:
client, err := spanner.NewClient(ctx, "projects/P/instances/I/databases/D")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Simple Reads And Writes
_, err = client.Apply(ctx, []*spanner.Mutation{
spanner.Insert("Users",
[]string{"name", "email"},
[]interface{}{"alice", "a@example.com"})})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
row, err := client.Single().ReadRow(ctx, "Users",
spanner.Key{"alice"}, []string{"email"})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
