1. General information
Google has a lot of services and each service has its API.
We can distinguish two groups of APIs:
| Group | Services |

| Google APIs | Gmail, Drive, YouTube. |
| Google Cloud Platform APIs | Datastore, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, and Compute Engine. |
Documentation
| Service | Description |

Libraries
To work with Google API there is a lot of official libraries.
For example, for PHP we have googleapis/google-api-php-client. This library enables us to work with Google APIs such as Gmail, Drive or YouTube on our server.
To use another group of APIs, we can take googleapis/google-cloud-php.
