Google Content API for Shopping Go Samples
This is a set of simple samples written in Go, which provide a minimal example of Google Shopping integration within a command line application.
This starter project provides a great place to start your experimentation into the Google Content API for Shopping.
Prerequisites
Please make sure that you have Go installed and that you've installed the [Google APIs Client Library for Go] (https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client) as well as the OAuth Library for Go and its support for interfacing with Google APIs:
$ go get golang.org/x/oauth2
$ go get golang.org/x/oauth2/google
$ go get google.golang.org/api/content/v2.1
This code also uses the browser package to open the authentication URL in your browser automatically and the support package for Google's protocol buffers:
$ go get github.com/pkg/browser
$ go get github.com/golang/protobuf/proto
Finally, this code uses the backoff package to handle retries:
$ go get github.com/cenkalti/backoff
Setup Authentication and Sample Configuration
If you have not already done so, please read the top-level README to discover
how to set up both authentication and the common sample configuration. The rest
of this document assumes you have performed both tasks.
Running the Samples
We are assuming you've checked out the code and are reading this from a local directory. If not, check out the code to a local directory.
-
Compile all the sample code in the directory together:
$ go build -o content-api-demo *.go -
Run the resulting binary to get an idea of its usage:
$ ./content-api-demo -h -
Pick a demo (or demos) to run, for example:
$ ./content-api-demo products accountsIf no demos are selected on the command line, then all demos except for the Orders demo will be run.
-
Examine your shell output, be inspired and start hacking an amazing new app!

Overview ¶
This is a set of simple samples written in Go, which provide a minimal example of Google Shopping integration within a command line application.
This starter project provides a great place to start your experimentation into the Google Content API for Shopping.
Prerequisites ¶
Please make sure that you have Go installed and that you've installed the Google APIs Client Library for Go as well as the OAuth Library for Go and its support for interfacing with Google APIs:
$ go get golang.org/x/oauth2 $ go get golang.org/x/oauth2/google $ go get google.golang.org/api/content/v2_1

Setup Authentication and Sample Configuration ¶
If you have not already, please read the top-level README in the GitHub repository to discover how to set up both authentication and the common sample configuration. The rest of this document assumes you have performed both tasks.

Running the Samples ¶
We are assuming you've checked out the code and are reading this from a local directory. If not, check out the code to a local directory.
1. Compile all the sample code in the directory together:
$ go build -o content-api-demo *.go
2. Run the resulting binary to get an idea of its usage:
$ ./content-api-demo -h
3. Pick a demo (or demos) to run, for example:
$ ./content-api-demo products inventory If using an OAuth2 client ID for the first time, the application will open a browser automatically so you can agree to the OAuth2 access. The access token will be stored in your sample configuration file, so if you have authentication issues, delete the token field and reauthenticate. If no demos are selected on the command line, then all demos except for the Orders demo will be run.
4. Examine your shell output, be inspired and start hacking an amazing new app!
