| This is the Python client library for Google's discovery based APIs. To get started, please see the [docs folder](docs/README.md). |
| |
| These client libraries are officially supported by Google. However, the libraries are considered complete and are in maintenance mode. This means that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any new features. |
| |
| ## Documentation |

| See the [docs folder](docs/README.md) for more detailed instructions and additional documentation. |

| ## Google Cloud Platform |
| |
| For Google Cloud Platform APIs such as Datastore, Cloud Storage or Pub/Sub, we recommend using [Cloud Client Libraries for Python](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python) which is under active development. |
